Yes, the car is hot from being out in the sun. I get in the car, turn it on and the darn AvicZ2 won't make any sound. After the AC has been running for a while and the interior of the car and the Z2 cool off, the Z2 starts making sounds.

I did the upgraded just as it said on the instructions. The upgrade cd I burned did run on my Z2. I have a 2006 Nissan 350Z with the bose system. Amp? Do not know. But what I know is that the Z2 has no sound until the unit cools off. Once It is cool, I have no problems. So, I do not know if it is the unit or the installation.

I have a Z2. I did the firmupgrade and the unit does not lock up anymore during hot days ( by the way when I run the firmware update, it did not updated my software version as It said in the intructions) but I am still having a heat related problem: as before the firmware upgrade, i do not get any sound until the unit cools; everything else works including the bluetooth conection with my phone. Has anybody else experienced the same problem? A Pioneer tech told me it was a wire but I did not pay attention to him since he did not want to admit that the units were having a heat related problem. A

I own a Z2 that has that heat related problem and would like to replace the Hard Drive myself. How difficult is it to do this? I have replaced the HD on numerous laptops and desktops but I am not sure how to do it on a Z2. Mainly because I have not opened up a Z2 and I am afraid to mess it up. So can it be done? If so what is the best type of hard drive to get as far as size and brand goes? I read that Toshibas were the best. Also, how do I install the files on the new hard drive? Do I use an image of the Z2 hard drive, if so how do I get it? It is a pity that I have to try to do it myself but
