[quote name="jsdeprey"] [quote name="tomdlgns"] [quote name="jsdeprey"]Ill try messing with the service menu on mine tomorrow and see how the calibrate options work, from the descriptions so far it does not sounds very intuitive! but ill give it a shot. My N1 is having the same issue, and pretty much ruins the unit for me, considering I can not use the address book at all, which I used allot. I have preformed the mod that lets me watch TV and DVD while moving, with the newest software, by soldering the circut board so sending my unit to Pioneer might not even be a option? Ill let you know h

at first i didnt want to try to recalibrate becuase of the loss of the - + buttons, but i guess i can go w/o those in order to be able to scroll again. the only problem is, i havent heard of any successful calibration stories yet.

this is just garbage. i was able to tolerate the screen being off, it was just a matter of pressing the buttons 1/2 or 1/4 of an inch to the left. no biggie. now, when i am trying to scroll through my recent destinations or address book, i cant scroll up for down. since the button is flush with the left side of the screen, the 1/4 or 1/2 in range to the left obviously isnt in an area where i can touch. this unit is basically garbage for me right now... aside from typing in my destinations, which is the reason i have an address book, all i can do is open it up and press return hom

[quote name="remix2112"]I had the same problem but figured out how to fix it with a side effect - the +/- buttons on the unit do not work so the screen in slammed back against my dash when open - I got into the secret service menu on my N1: - hit eject & reset at the same time - release 'reset' - screen went in & came back out - screen said "press reset" or something to that effect - i used the joystick - up, up, down, down, [and then pushed in the joystick to 'enter'] - goes into the service menu - select top option for touch screen - in touch screen menu, select 1st [top] item with

[quote name="Gmoney"] [quote name="cntrylvr79"]The touchscreen can be recalibrated if you go into the service menu. Too bad I found that out after I sent my d1 out. 5 weeks and I still haven't gotten it back yet.[/quote] How do you get into the service menu? I have an N1 P.S. Thanks for the quick reply... and this forum rocks![/quote] yes, i am having this issue, i also have the n1 and i would like to know how to get into the calibration screen... someone said above that they have a service menu with their d1. i would tend to think that d1 and n1 options are a bit different.

yeah, if i take the n1 out, im putting the z1 back in. then i guess i ll pay to fix the n1 and install it somewhere else....maybe i will give it to my dad.

[quote name="jsdeprey"]I just started having this problem a couple weeks ago. When I go to touch a button on the touch screen, I have to hit it about 1/2 inch to the left of the button. I am not sure this is happening on all screens. I notice it most when I am using the input address screen, but that might just be because the buttons are smaller. I am a Avic-N1 also so maybe they go bad or something?[/quote] yup n1 here as well and this is happening to me. i thought adding the n3 firmware would fix it, but i think its something in the screen. im not taking this thing out to get re

yeah my first concern when i took this to get installed was the placement of the antenna, but the installer told me it will have no problem being mounted inside my dash. i forgot to mention that i have had the unit for 2 years now and i have never had any problems with reception. the only time i can remember it putting me next to a road instead of on the road was when i was in a forest preserve.... and i was surrounded by trees. even if it was mounted on my roof at the area i was at it would still have not done me any good. throw it in the dash and call it a night...

guys guys guys..... my antenna is mounted INSIDE my dash and i have perfect and accurate navigation..... you guys dont need to be mounting it on your roof. you cant even see my antenna...unit works perfect!

i have the same problem and i was looking for a fix. hope someone can help us.

[quote name="whtcrxghst"]If you check out Pioneers site, it says that the 60 software will not change XM or Ipod display, not sure where you heard it would. As for knowing if you have the N3 software, it completely changes the appearance of the navigation menu so it should be fairly obvious [quote name="tomdlgns"] [quote name="NeonShark"]I have a AVIC-N1 that was recently modded to a N3, how can I tell if it's actually a N3 now and if the software I'm running is the latest?

[quote name="dylanc"]Hmm this is very odd. I wonder if my downloaded disc 60 is missing some parts? Maybe I will try and burn again. I have checked and it seems my speed sensor is working. My ebrake ground is working, and I can watch movies (from the external video in's anyway) while driving. I reflashed my whole system today, it then reinstalled the system software, but when I went to nav I had the same problem. Maps works. Home, recent, blah blah. Just no address search.[/quote] u can watch vids while driving? how big is ur file? mine was 6.59 gb Tom

i am thinking about selling my n1, with the n3 update, and buying a z1. however, the money is whats killing me. i wish pioneer had some sort of trade in or upgrade program. you guys with the z1. did you upgrade from an n1? is it worth it to have the bluetooth and ipod interface along with some other new features/better lookin g screens. the one thing that i would miss is the fold in. i like that becuase it just hides the unit better. the z1 just sits there out in the open. however, in my car it would look kind of stock, so thats a plus.

Thanks NS[/quote] many have the same question as you. i am in the same boat, i am not happy wiht the n1 to n3 ipod interface. it looks like everything changes to the n3 interface besides the ipod control.

[quote name="dylanc"] [quote] after you download the torrent and unzip the contents, how big is the folder size? my west disc was 6.59 gb. i burned it and it works fine. Tom[/quote] Same here. I had to run out an dby some DL disks, but then all went well. Kind of. Everything seems to work, except I can't do a address or POI search?? buttons are greyed out. With or without parking brake. Moving or stopped. Just greyed out. This is on my n2. Anyone else have this problem?[/quote] i have the n1 and i updated. my buttons are only grayed out when i am in motion over 5mph or somethi

[quote name="StevenRapp"]Well the Ipod on the z1 pretty much sucks as well. You may get a cooler looking interface (I have never seen the gui on the N1) but it is SLLLLOOOOWWWW and painful to deal with if you have a lot of songs on it. The only way that I have gotten around the painfully slow functionality of this device is to create a lot of playlists so I only have to scan through those.... But even with that, it is lacking... There is my 2 cents. -Steve[/quote] i will take the lag of the z1 over the crappy text display on the n1. there is ______________________

[quote name="kinger402"]Can someone seed me the East torrent. Ive been downloading at 1Kb/S for like 3 days now![/quote] good luck, i coudlnt even download the east torrent. again, if anyone needs me to seed the west, just reply. Tom

[quote name="VR6_MTL"]I already cleaned it.. but the fan make more sound so really need to be changed. I will contact Pioneer.[/quote] i found this [url=http://parts.pioneerelectronics.com/]http://parts.pioneerelectronics.com/[/url] not sure how much it will help.

i think the iPod interface is really crappy with the n1. i even upgraded the firmware with the new disks, but the only thing that doesnt change is the iPod interface. everything else looks like the n3. i am very dissapointed with the n1 interface. i am almost tempted to buy a z1 just to get the newer looking iPod interface. any suggestions?

[quote name="Boiler"]Folks, I am the proud owner of an N3. I have not done the bypass yet but am thinking about it. Question though...if I installed a monitor in the passenger side visor, will the N3 still show dvds through that monitor even if I am in motion or am I stuck doing the bypass? Thanks! Marc[/quote] yes, you will be able to view video on the second screen, in the visor, and the audio should work as well. Tom

i can seed the west torrent if anyone needs me to, please reply. Tom
