[quote name="Shak@StereoEFX"]I have a Viper 791XV installed on my 05 Accord and when I remote start it, my Z1 does turn on. And if I wait until after the Starting up Pioneer....... screen to put my key in, then the Z1 is bypassed.[/quote] I also have a Viper 791XV installed on my 2005 F150 SCREW and the Z1 comes on when I remote start it. The bypass works fine in my truck and with my Z1.

I agree with Cirbirus also about the hacked XBOX. I have one installed in my F150. I have it hooked to a DC-to-DC inverter. Also, like Cirbirus mentioned I have that connected to my battery(fuse in line). When I start the truck it is on and when I turn it off it goes off. This is good if your kids will be the one playing. In my other vehicle my son would forget and I would go to start the vehicle and the battery was dead. I did not ground my XBOX and it works great. It is not permantely attached in the vehicle. We built a small platform that the XBOX sits in. So when we get to a hotel or at ho

Pioneer may have it listed as not working with the Z1, but I have not had any problems with mine or my wifes.

Mine worked fine for awhile and not any more. It is correctly installed. The install is not that hard. Hopefully someone will bring theirs back to life and we all can live happily ever after.

[quote name="StevenRapp"]Here is a stupid question::: I am about to go out and purchase some headrest LCD's for the back of my truck for DVD video for my kid. The question that is probably going to seem stupid is: If I am pushing a DVD to the back screens, can I listen to my other audio sources through the speakers? Do these screens generally support wireless headsets that will allow my son to listen/Watch DVD, while I listen to whatever I want? Or is the wireless headset capability through the Z1? -Steve[/quote] Steve, On this forum there is no stupid question. The Z1 is a d

[quote name="Cirbirus"]I was flipping through the Z1's instruction manual, just trying to learn as much about the system as possible, when I came across the section about the AV Input. I started thinking to myself if I could hook anything up to that and it suddenly hit me; I have a spare hacked Xbox with 160GB of games on it. I start going over everything I would need to hook it up and I realize I already have everything I need: Xbox w/ big Hard drive & lots of games: Check Wireless RF Controllers: Check Wireless Network Adapter for Xbox: Check Power inverter: Check Space on existin

[quote name="guitar7272"] [quote name="Navyguy"]How did you guys get the upgrade to work? I have tried two different CDRs and they do not work. It just stops on CD-ROM injected. I used Roxio to burn the CDR.[/quote] I used nero, burned all the files to the root folder, and made sure that it was set to finalize the cd. The cd has to be finalized, if it's not the update will probably fail. Look around your program for the Disc-at-once settings and make sure that its set to finalize. Hope that helps.[/quote] Thanks for the reply. Soon as I hit the submit button I saw my Nero on

it is good with some new CDs but not all. I was surprised it recognized my wife's Spanish CDs before it recognized my R&B CDs.

[quote name="4xFord"]I am a fan of widescreen and I do like the smooth look. What I was hoping for were some brand recommendations.[/quote] I would recommend Vizualogic. They make them to replace your whole headrest. When I had my Expedition I opted to cut the headrest and install monitors. They worked well but did not give me the look I was looking for. The Vizualogic monitors are little expensive, but well worth it.

I have a Treo 650 from Sprint and it works great. I did not have any trouble with the phone book either.

[quote name="sdp1969"]I just had the Z1 installed in my 04 Explorer at Best Buy. They did a very good job. I had them add the sirius adapter, rear view adapter, ipod adapter and bluetooth adapter. They installed the circuit to bypass the security feature, put the factory CD player under the middle seat to keep the factory DVD functional (for power), installed an adapter I got from Crutchfield to keep the steering wheel controls functional and lastly installed a mount for my ipod built into the dash. It took them from 10AM to about 8PM ( I called for updates throughout the day) and they charge

I must say I have been a victim of this also. My camera is acting up also. It goes in and out. What is up with this camera?

[quote name="brucehulkbanner"]Does your camera come on in rear view split screen mode? I can't get mine to come on. It shows the map on the right side but blacks out the rear view cam?[/quote] My screen does come on in rear view split screen mode. When I back up the whole screen shows what is behind me.

BigFloppy, I would be interested also, but for a 2005 Ford F150.

[quote name="ducatiboy"]Sure, no problem. They are backgrounds. Not boot images. From what I read, if you unlock your hard drive it's a BMP file, not a JPG file for the boot image, but it's the same resolution. So you could convert these to BMP and replace the boot up screen if you were that inclined. But you can burn those to a CD in the folder "Pictures" and they will work as backgrounds for nav and AV. Me, personally , I needed to have a "fluff" directory on the cd as well to make the size over 100 megs before the cd would read in the Z1. Enjoy.[/quote] Thanks again for the hard

Steve, Would you mind making two with the wood background for the attached Ford png files?

MichaelJames99, Ther are no harm feelings bro just saying my opinion. I was not like I was try to gang up on you are nothing. I know we are all adults and I thank you for not getting offended. As a adults we should be able to say our opinion and respect the opinions of others. Thanks for understanding my post. Good luck on the install. Navyguy(John)

I agree. It is one thing that we use the flasher to have all function available, but it is another to watch movies while driving. Legal issues would be the least of your worries. What about having the death of someone on your mind forever. It is cool to different things to our vehicles, but safety should come first always. Also, do not take this in a negative way towards you. You asked for out input so we are giving it to you. John

[quote name="03Aviator"] [quote name="Navyguy"] [quote name="03Aviator"]Navyguy...I know of a guy that bought an overhead factory DVD set up off eBay for his Aviator and hooked it up to his aftermarket head unit. You are correct...the overhead unit requires the head unit to initialize it. However, he was able to successfully accomplish that with his aftermarket unit. I wish I knew what model it was. But I'm sure he used an output off the head unit that is similar to turning on (but not actually powering) an external amp, antenna, etc. I need to dig my wiring diagram back out and see what'
