Hmm... Strange. I'll have to call them back up. Maybe the girl I was speaking to had an 1d10t error

Hey Guys, I recently bought the Pioneer GEXP10XMT XM Satellite Radio and XM-NavTraffic Tuner. I have the XM working perfectly. However, when I call XM to activate the NavTraffic portion, they say they need a radio ID. I attempt to give them the radio ID on the actual XM tuner, but they say this does not work. She said she needs the radio ID of the AVIC-Z1. Has anyone ever hooked up the GEXP10XMT unit and activated XM radio and also NavTraffic successfully? If so - what did you have to do in order to do so. Thanks guys. Nick

How does the USB and SD video/mp3 playback work? that is my real selling point!

I currently own the Z1... I am being drawn to the new F series for the fact I can play music/videos off of a USB stick or SD card. At this point - would it be smart for me to sell of the Z1 for the new f series? I hear there are issues with these units. Thanks Guys. Nick

I bought my unit in April of 2006. I am guessing that it was made in January, 2006. I sent my unit in for repair last week. They told me they updated the firmware and it should be arriving at my house sometime this week.... Is this firmware update considered the "Bluetooth Update CD" update? Should the 2 ground wire bypass work on my unit? Thanks and I appreciate all the help, guys! Nick

I sent my unit into Pioneer and they were unable to confirm the issue.... They upgraded the firmware and sent it back to me Friday.... I HOPE that I get it back in working order.... If I get it back and it isnt actually fixed and is still acting the same I will call up Pioneer and flip out on them....

I am sending my z1 into pioneer for repair. I'll let you all know how I make out.

If u use a remote, are u able to change the volume level?

So I took out the entire unit this weekend. I hooked up power, ground, and one speaker. As soon as the unit turned on - i started to push buttons... Still no sound. I played a song off the hard drive - which worked fine. Looks like I have a very strange issue with my Z1. I am going to have to send this thing into pioneer - but it has been out of warranty since april/may. Has anyone dealt with having their unit repaired through Pioneer? Are we allowed to bring them to authorized dealers or must we mail them into Pioneer? I am a very unhappy camper right now

sounds like the illumination cable is definetly disconnected. its the orange ILL wire (pretty sure its orange)

I tried to use those - but they werent long enough. I used the Metra kit for a Ford Fusion.

I bought the Metra kit for my Z1 install. I never thought of using crazy glue.... Did the screws that it come with work for you all? I had to find screws in my garage and cut them down in order to get this installed. If not - what screws did you guys use? When I take my deck out this weekend - I am going to glue EVERYTHING on that plastic kit!

Jimmy - I am a pretty knowledgable installer. I have a lot of experience with this type of technology. I am going to do a total reinstall of the deck. I am going to unwire everything and while I have the deck out with the power harness attached - I am going to perform a test. I am going to hook-up the following wires: -Red Power -Yellow Power -Ground This will allow me to turn the deck on while having absolutely NOTHING hooked up to it. I will then take a single speaker - and will wire it directly to one of the 50x4 speaker outputs on the deck. If I still do not hear any

F350 - how is your signal strength? Go under system and look at connections.... I had this issue too - and it was because of a weak signal. I rewired and placed the antena on metal which solved my issue. Let me know what you find.

OK - I am pretty fed up with the fact I do not hear the navigation voice anymore or any of the system sounds. I am thinking of sending it into Pioneer to get repaired. My question is - do they upgrade the firmware, etc automatically? I currently have the original firmware on this unit and am able to do the original bypass. If they do - is there a bypass for the new firmware? Thanks.
