I have a Z1 - with a CD that does not Read. Seems like it should be good for parts. Gary

So I was having an issue with my AVIC-Z1 in my 4Runr I have had the unit 5 years now. Just last week my CD quit reading disks of any type. So took it back to the local shop. Looks like I could send it back to Pioneer and get it fixed. But like a good salesman they showed me the AVIC-F120BT. So instead of sending it back for repait I have a new Headunit. But now I have an older AVIC-Z1 in the garage. Any idea what the resale value would be? Right now it is without a working Disc Reader? What about if I got it fixed? Any idea on resale value? Or even d

Hearing the distinct noise of the Hard Drive clicking. So after talking to Pioneer. And not relishing the removing the whole unit for some unknown time. Thought I would go with a new hard drive. New Hard Drive. Pay Garret Toomey by Pay Pal. 2 days later a new drive with a torx tool arrives. 15 minutes later old drive out, new drive in. AVIC-Z1 updted to the latest maps, and Firmware. System no longer locks up.

I don't see where anyone has even made a backup of the drive yet. Please if someone has let me know how to do that. Then I would like to try a larger format. But for now how di I clone my drive.

Has any one been able to make a duplicate of the drive and have that one play. This would let us know we can at least access the data correctly. If so how to do it. I would love to try. I just at this time want to clone to another drive. And have that one play
