  1. Robbie, I can't dissagree with anything you said except the sound quality is actually as good if not better than the z1 in my wifes car. The interface is slow and clunky, the ipod cable plugs into the front which sucks, and the gps voice sounds unrefined and even annoying when getting street names wrong. I will say however the buttons seem strong and solid, the volume dial is very responsive and tight, the video quality is as good as the z2 and the f500. The best part is it just works. For the last few months I would get in my truck and pray that the 500bt was gong to wo
  2. I have been a die-hard pioneer navigation supporter since I got my first AVIC-N1 unit many years ago. Since then I have owned several different units including a N1 N3, Z1, and the most recent is a F500BT. With each of these units I had hardware issues within the first year of ownership. Each unit went back for repair and was returned in working order. I just shipped the Z1 back to pioneer for the second time (not under warranty this time) when the touchscreen quit working and again it came back in working order. It is currently installed in my wifes Honda Civic. I purchased an A
  3. I think this is a battery issue but I am not sure. Recently my F500bt has stopped coming back on when I shut my vehicle off and turn it back on a short time later. The blue light on the right side comes on but that is it. The only way I can get it to come back up is to hold the power button down for like 10 seconds then push it again and it does a full reboot. Anyone know what might be causing this. Again, I think maybe the battery is going bad but I don't want to shell out 50 bucks for a battery if that is not the problem.
  4. Hey Guys, My Z2 is on its way back to pioneer. I have a couple of questions, 1. I think my hard drive may have started to go bad along with my touch screen. Will they replace the hard drive as well as the screen if they determin it is going bad? 2. will they upgrade the unit to the latest firmware before it leaves the repair facility? 3. Will I lose my music Library? 4. I just purchased an unlocked hard drive with the Z3 upgrade on it. Other than the maps, what are the differences between the Z3 and the Z1 and Z2. I heard the Z3 was a pretty substancial update. Is
  5. Hey Guys, I have a Z2 in my wifes car. Today when I went to go to the store I went to the AV menu and and choose an artist. Then after that, the touch screen would not work. I did the hard reset on the front and it rebooted to the nav map warning screen. When I try to push the OK button the screen won't register the touch. The AV, Map, and Menu buttons are not working on the front of the unit now. The eject button IS working and when I put a cd in I can hear it play and the volume buttons work. To troubleshoot, I did several reboots and even removed the battery wire to make sure
  6. F500BT??? Will it work... Anyone???
  7. I am sure this has been asked already but will it work for an f500bt? Thanks!!
  8. I have an f500bt and it is having random startup issues. I have traced it to the battery not holding a charge. Do you guys know where I can get a replacement battery other than pioneer? I have looked in all the usual places (ebay, batteries plus, interstate batteries, amazon) and have not had any luck. I am sure pioneer wants an arm and a leg for this little battery so I want to try other options before contacting them. Thanks!!

    slope gauge

    Anyone know why the slope gauge does not work. Mine says something like "this gauge is not available now" I had a avic-n2 that did the same thing... any ideas?
  10. bump, I guess the included skins are all you get?
  11. Got mine installed at Best Buy for $150. I have an 04 f150 that needed the dash cut for it to work (which i don't think the installer knew when he agreed to the price) Eitherway they did a good job and it looks great. The installer also hooked up the vss, illumination and after a $30.00 tip offered to hook the bypass up as well. They did mess up my climate control module which they paid to replace after I filed a claim. All in all a good experience and the best part is they will uninstall if for free when I go to trade the truck in.
  12. Hey Guys, Is there a way to add more vehicle dynamics skins to the few that are provided by default? Also, what is the best tv tuner to use with a Z1? Thanks,
  13. some king ranch backgrounds my wife put together for my f150.
  14. My Z1 had the old software on it. I was getting the parking brake error and the nav controls would not work. Did the update and all is well now. I do still get the error when I start up but once the error is cleared I can use nav controls and view video. Best buy did the install and they did a pretty good job of it considering I have a 03 f150 and they don't have a true double din setup. He had to pull the whole dash apart in order to get the unit installed so it could not be easily removed. The only problem is they forgot to hook something in the dash back up and not my ac only blows
