Freesing on startup..."GOOD NEWS from Pioneer"
aziator replied to timvan's topic in Problems/Troubleshooting
Here is the email I just got from Pioneer... September 14, 2007 Dear Valued Customer Re: Free Firmware Update for Pioneer AVIC-Z1 & AVIC-Z2 to Address Lock-up/Freezing Issue We would like to inform you of the availability of a free firmware update for the AVIC-Z1 and AVIC-Z2 to address a potential lock-up/freezing issue. Pioneer has become aware that a small percentage of AVIC-Z1 and AVIC-Z2 systems, especially in very hot temperatures, lock-up or freeze when powered on, such that the systems do not proceed further than the initial boot up screen. If you are not exp -
Not sure how accurate this info is but I just got a call from my shop owner saying that his Pioneer rep has a disk to insert into the Z2 to bypass it. He said his rep would be there in 2 weeks and he was going to call everyone he sold a Z2 to so they could come by and get it done on the day the rep is there in town. H also wasn't to confidant that he could make a copy of the disk and made it sound like only a few people have access to them. Has anyone else heard this info?

My shop owner called his Pioneer rep and they say they have never heard of this problem, even after the talk to their tech reps... I shouldn't have to install an insulation or a 12V fan (as some have suggested) to make a $2k headunit work.

I have the same problem, it manifested itself last summer when I moved to Arizona. Went away all winter and came back again just a month ago. I sent to unit back to Pioneer for warranty and they said that they could not duplicate the problem. I am sending it back again today with more info (like temps using a laser temp gauge) and I will see what they have to say. If they send it back again without fixing it I will be very pissed. Everytime I call they say that they have never heard of the problem before. I think that is total BS.

You would think Pioneer would email and let everyone know it is out. Have you done the upgrade yet?

Had mine installed for quite some time now (Sometime in April), no problems at all. I got it off Ebay for $150.
