theres a fix for the freeze that locks up the whole system at bootup but i already did that, this is a touch screen problem weird thing is tho! snce i did that update, my radio was no longer bypassed. i just got the radio rewired for bypass again on friday. since i did so, the radio has no issues now! weird, but hey.. it works! atleast for now

their extended warranty is thru a 3rd party company so it will still be honored.

BUMP BUMP BUMP i see that others are starting to have the same problem now and i got a call from a customer a couple days ago having same problem mine isnt permanently frozen anymore but i do have to fight with it to get the touch screen to respond, particularly in cold weather. and the touch screen starts to act on its own, moving my placement on the mapping randomly and NOW, this morning i decide to drive the car n my son wanted to watch a movie so i pop in THE DARK KNIGHT and it says "unreadable disc".. so i take it out, pop it back in and same thing again... 10 mins later

u still got this deal? im interested.... just gotta test to see if my problem is the hard drive. i saw u said the drives were becoming rare.. so just wanted to make sure u still had some on hand.

not sure but the # is on their site. im a retailer for their product and i called them with my problem. bastards dnt cut deals for vendors of their product so im just gonna get a replacement hard drive for $130 from the guy on the site here. doesnt sound like a new drive would do it for you tho www.pioneerelectronics.com go to the navigation units n ll see the # there

dont do that!!!! send the unit to pioneer direct, and no matter the problem, they charge a standard charge of $200. no need to pay another company $350 i have an issue with mine but i think imma try doin a harddrive swap

ill try that test mode for sure. but its not the touch screen. it just goes to this one view and stays there... not even the buttons on bottom work, only eject. its just a glitch in the drive i think. i might have no choice but to get a new drive with the z3 update. i wanna do it but im tryin to wait for money to get a lil better. and yeah. i answer the phone via the handset.. and talk thru the radio. oh and the volume button works. it just doesnt let me control anything else

haha thanks for checkin it out. hope u rated me and yeah, i reset it. which sucks cuz now all my eq setting n such r reset so i cant really turn up the system cuz itll sound like shit. and no i dont have a hard drive available.i was gonna get a replacement with the z3 drive but cant do it at the moment. was hoping theres a fix for this... for the time being

SCROLL DOWN TO NEW POST FOR UP-TO-DATE INFO ok ill try to make this as short as possible. two weeks ago i was at a car show and had my music playing my avic z1 in my 2005 nissan maxima.... turned it off to give the car a break and a lil later turned it back on. at that point to booted up fine, but when it came to the CAUTION screen to press OK to proceed.... touch screen didnt work. buttons dont work on the radio and touch screen is completely inoperable. what DOES work is.... -i can see the map moving behind the CAUTION screen as i drive -if i put in a CD it will play

d3 u can control videos but not Z... u gotta get the AV wire from apple for $19 n hook it to av input like he said

Ya, but is Pioneer really going to go ~2 years with out having a tuner. Why not a digital/analog one. Or should I ask, does anyone know if one is in the works? Is the format/signal for digital pined down? But then again they could also make it upgradeable. thats pretty much accurate. they didnt wanna overproduce them and have customers feel they wasted money on something that would be of no use in the near future. u can easily get a diff brand and put it in aux. highly unlikely that u will find a pioneer tuner ANYWHERE

id love to answer this for u but i dont know. id like to say no, but i could be wrong. u may have to call pioneer n ask

TADA !!! IT WORKED thanks a lot dude

impressive. im tempted to try this

mine has froze a few times. but when it happens again, ill get it warrantied. not too hard when u work at a retail store that sells em lol
