Hey guys, I recalibrated my buddy's screen, so the buttons are spot on...but the old problem of not being able to input street or city names still exists. Basically, the buttons are being PRESSED, the screen shows the button being pressed, but the street just does not register. For example, I can put in 12345 in the House number, but when i get to the STREET name, if i start typing MAIN ST, it will register each keypress, but MAIN ST will not show as being input. It just sits there waiting for the street name to be input. Advice?? EDIT: The thing works FINE if I switch to an

the reason your bberry will not auto connect is because you havent made it a trusted device. Go to the bluetooth settings, highlight the avic, hit menu, device properties and chance trusted to "yes" And FYI, the curve works 100% with the avic, other than the 50% volume issue mentioned above. However, i find that the volume at the curves 50% is equal to my LG at 100%...either way i still cant hear the other caller too well and the avics "max" volume is pitifully low.. Abe

there is a road in zip 91355 (city of santa clarita) called Newhall Ranch road. from the corner of Rye Canyon Road to the 5, the road was opened last year. Google maps still shows as incomplete. does the z3 have this road connected to the 5 freeway? See snapshot below.

i ordered from them because of the warranty being honored by pioneer. My transaction was seamless and i received a perfect unit. I ordered the Z2x for like $1250 shipped and sold the camera/BT for $250 and got a BOYO cam, and ebay ND-BT1.. so at the end of the day i paid ~$1170 for my entire package Abe

^ you can do that on the Z2

This is a VLT400 on a 4runner. Notice how the fish eye isnt exactly the best. On my lexus i can see MUCH MUCH more than with my VLT. hmmmmmm Abe

$5 if we dont care about losing our music library? i didnt know this. looks like ill be doing the z3 upgrade this week!

"if so yes" meaning there is a way to eliminate the message, or that it will always appear? tis unclear

Hey guys, I notice that the forum recommends an unlocking service that costs ~$50 (or roughly the cost of getting a whole nother drive from new egg!) Why cant we use something like this: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Har ... lock.shtml That i found after a 30 second google search, im sure there are others. I found a free one, but i think it only works with seagate. Opinions? Abe

maybe im wrong, but they gave a dedicated button for traffic "t" but no mute button. i would think the vast majority would benefit from mute rather than traffic on a more day to day thing...no? not to mention that if youre like me and you dont use traffic, that button is absolutely useless

what is the size that fits the screen perfectly? like 1024x768 or whatever. what aspect does the zx need? Abe

your picture LOL i dont know if they still have it, but i bought the z2x package from 6thave for $1200 and sold the camera for $150 so the z2+ndbt1 only cost me $1050. The d3 may have a better ipod interface (i dont care) but i MUCH prefer the hdd on the z series instead of having to swap dvds and such. I also like the larger screen, hence i will never switch to the new F series. the 2 wire mod to allow use while in motion is super easy on the z series, especially if not even installed yet! i believe the z1 is just an upgrade away from z3 status, and you dont NEED the $200 eb

I notice on the website it saying you can give complex voice commands, such as "go to LAX" combining the "go to" with POI name "LAX" I tried and failed to do this on my Z2. Perhaps this is something they changed on the Z3? Comments? Abe

someone post pics of the AVIC view of other cameras please! Save this thread! Abe

updating to the newest CDDB March release and recopying to the HDD solved it! thanks!

Hey guys, So i inserted a cd 2 weeks ago, and hadnt burned it with CD text so i just started typing in titles. I got tired after 3 titles and just said forget this, ill reburn with cd-text. problem is that even though it has been burned (so that gracetone should pick it up), it recognizes it as that first cd with just 3 track titles i manually typed in. I deleted the previous recording from the library, and it made no effect. when i go to the new track and hit update title, the only option is "no title" What can i do? Abe

no no, this thread was supposed to be about what the drivers view looks like, not what the camera looks like! you can find camera pics on google, but how the camera view looks through the avic-- this i have not seen yet, hence this thread! Abe

yeah true, i could have just put a momentary switch bridging the constant and switched wire leads and then flipped that switch before cranking. next time i take the unit out i may do that. The carPC has this thing called a shutdown controller. it powers the PC 8 seconds after seeing power on the line, and shuts it down when the power is gone. its like an automatic button pusher thingy.

certain phones can only transfer 1 at a time (or 5..or all). so even if you could get it to work, it would only transfer 1 (based on what ur telling me) recommendation: transfer your contacts onto a phone that can send all, then send em, then use your phone with the newly uploaded phonebook. Abe

this is true, but posting a pic of the camera itself might help!

so they burn the specific password locked cd for your specific avic. i see now!

how can a cd be one time use only? whats the method they use to ensure that?

is there any reason why we dont just upload an image of the upgrade CD (when it comes out) instead of trying to rip out harddrives and such? Abe

who makes your camera? i went to boyo's site and found their pinout for their svideo looking plug: http://boyovta.com/products/VTL420/VTL420_Spec.pdf\ see bottom left of page Abe

are you pressing "mark all" when you are sending the name cards from the LG?
