  1. I was thinking about upgrading my Z1 (with Z3 HDD upgrade) to the Z110. My biggest question is the HDD, from what I have read this has been replaced with a flash card. Will the unit still rip CDs to the flash card, or does it all have to be done via computer? I really like the idea of the MSN Direct option, but I have never used it. Has anyone else used MSN Direct? and your thoughts on it. Is the Sirius interface still just a single line display? And will my SIR-PNR2 still work or do I need to get the CB-SB10?
  2. That's great, I am very happy; most of Calgary currently on the Z1 is "insufficient data for route guidance in this area"
  3. I didn't get a blue cleaning cloth either. But I bought a small screen cleaner from Futureshop (like BestBuy). It's just like the cloths that come with sunglasses, only $3 CDN, works great.

  5. Why hasn't Pioneer release a new Gracenote update? It has almost been 7 months. I emailed Pioneer and got a reply saying someone will contact me blah blah blah, but nothing happened. Current Version number: 06-01-0020 Date released: June 8th, 2006 Unless I can't add 6 months to June, it should have been released on December 8th.
  6. Looks great! I wish the Sirius screen would show two lines of information.
  7. Here is a pic of the service screen, pretty simple. Like I said before, use the Track left and right buttons to change menus. AV is always BACK. T is always ENTER. the rest should be pretty simple since they are listed at the button. I really need to clean my screen.
  8. I got in! 1. Open the face. 2. Hold Eject. 3. Press Reset 4. Once screen says "Push Reset button or Restart Engine" release eject button. LEAVE THE TOUCH SCREEN OPEN! It took me a while because it allows you to enter 8 buttons before it stops beeping, but by pushing th AV button would make a sound after the beeps stopped. The AV button acts as the backspace button, so if you enter the code wrong, just hit the AV button until it stops beeping and start over. If you closed the touch screen simply push the AV button (should only beep once since it only has to clear the one input
  9. [quote name="peste19"]but doesn't this model already have the 2 crossovers built in? if it does i dont need the bass blockers do i?[/quote] With mine (an 01) I didn't install the bass blockers and just used the Metra Harness, the tweeters were constantly popping. I went and picked up some bass blockers, and that made all the difference. I may be wrong, but I believe the tweeter's amp is in the head unit (with the crossovers for them) I had a '94 with the Mach system and the amp for the tweeters in that car was mounted below the 2 decks (the '94 had two single din slots) and was
  10. [quote name="PaisanNYC"]I dont know why I can't find the link you did from Sirius' homepage.[/quote] from the main page (sirius.com) select Listen Online at the top, opens a new window, and in the top right of the pop-up page, in small print is the three day free link.
  11. [quote name="PaisanNYC"]... It's a shame that Sirius no longer offers a free trial ...[/quote] Sirius still offers a free 3 day online trial... Sirius USA link...

  12. Here is a great how-to for replacing the head unit on the mach system. Remember you will need bass blockers for your tweeters. [url=http://www.stangnet.com/Tech-Articles/Replacing-Your-2001-Mach-460-Head-Unit.html]http://www.stangnet.com/Tech-Articles/R ... -Unit.html[/url] I know the link is for an 01, but I believe it will work for all the mach systems up until '04, just be aware that it might be slightly different.
  13. I may be wrong, but I thought the short answer is: When going through a tunnel or in an other areas where the GPS signal is lost (like around tall buildings or trees) It can still, somewhat, continue tracking which roads you're on and the turns you make without an interruption. Using the VSS and other sensors that Ducatiboy mentioned to determine position... And after reading Ducatiboy's post again I [b][i]think[/i][/b] this is what he was getting at.

    [quote name="BSecrest"]http://mapinsight.teleatlas.com/cfl?ClientId=MapInsight&Language=en&PlaceFindCountry=USA&PlaceFindPlace=Boston&PlaceFindAdministrativeArea=MA[/quote] Good to know. Just added three (extremely minor) mistakes to the list, but on the plus side most of the mistakes have already been fixed, including an overpass that was built just 3 months ago.
  15. [quote name="ceramicax"]Yes but..... why pay???[/quote] cause if you don't, you won't have it.
  16. You can buy the Speed Camera POI update from TeleAtlas, it is not supplied by Pioneer. Obviously I have never used this, so I don't know how accurate or even how it works, but it says it is for the AVIC-HD1BT.

  17. I read the satellite radio news quite a bit (mostly Sirius) and have read a few articles about Sirius Satellite Video on [url=http://www.orbitcast.com]orbitcast.com[/url] and some posts on the [url=http://www.siriusbackstage.com]SiriusBackstage[/url] forum. After reading a post about some discount TV tuners on this forum it got me thinking, and I am hoping that Sirius/Pioneer offers a TV tuner for the Z1 that will pick up the Sirius Satellite Video. I think its an extremely long shot since it seems that XM and Pioneer are in bed together (XM NavTraffic, Inno and the graphical XM interfac
  18. So when does your 'test' unit go up for sale or raffled? If it is a raffle, I am in for sure.
  19. [quote name="tweekz"]I am having my 2nd Z1 installed as we speak. I want to mount rear camera in front to record races on the track. Does it or may I say can it burn onto a dvd. Help the Z chick out boys???? Anyone done this?????[/quote] the back-up camera reverses the image, if you place it in the front, left will be right and right will be left.
  20. [quote name="theblueprint"]I have even tried turning the car off and holding reset to no avail...with the AC running...I dont know what else to do...it wont come back on....it just sits at the Pioneer screen....I am completely clueless...and I live in MD and the temps are in the mid to high 80's...so its no heat wave here...any more info would be great![/quote] Maybe it's time you talk to Pioneer...

  21. Also, maybe an option for a larger Hard Drive. The HD should come preloaded with all the operating, map and gracenote partitions, as well as 30GB+ of space for my music. I think this would be great if they open up the ability to have MP3s copied to the HD.
  22. [quote name="ufd108"]I'd like to know why the Sirius support is pitiful compared to the XM support. I've had Sirius for years and my old Kenwood HU with the tiny 2-line dot matrix display gave more information than the 7" video screen on my new Z1.[/quote] I feel the same way. Whoever has an invite please mention this. And I really wish they would show the artist and the name of the song at the same time. And when using the 10key with Sirius, the keypad should disappear when you push enter. Also I wish there was an option that would turn the AV button in a 'back to AV main screen
  23. [quote name="BigFloppy"]I AM NOT STEALING ANYTHING! You will find that BOTH my XM and Sirius acocunts are 100% up tp date. All I said was... Ask, if you don't ask, you won't get any discount[/quote] I wasn't referring to you. Getting a deal from the company and actually stealing radio are two different things, I was talking about the 'Guest' that started this thread. I am all for getting a better deal when it is possible.
  24. [quote name="mrbrent"]I want to be able to pause and fast forward from my Sirius sat receiver like I could with my sportster model.[/quote] x2
