Hey guy from the misfits.. I think there was someone from the misfits that went to my high school in hackensack.

a friend of mine is looking to get the avic-z2x and install it in his 1999 Lincoln Towncar. He has volume control on his steering wheel. Is there any adapter that I can use on the AVIC-Z2 that will adapt the steering wheel controls to the z2?

I can't find this part number on pioneer's website.

I used this one: http://rapidshare.com/files/48283711/Ywhtkdks.rar

another problem that I noticed is that it doesn't display the turn in the big black bubble in the upper left unless I am on the highway.

Thanks PysiekChicago, but I tried that already.. it apears that it doesn't even change the brightness of the display. Day and night mode work, but day mode is still too dim.

I got the Mio software to work, but the screen is so much more dim than it is with the pioneer software. Is there any way to make the screen brighter? I tried adjusting it in the Mio software but it doesn't change the brightness.

It is red.

Even if I change the baud to 4800 it still does not find the gps. Is there anything I can do?

Hey ZiUL. I saw that you were using MIOMAP software on the S1.. where did you find it? I would like to try it out. I used the unlocker and was able to get to windows, but didn't know what to do in windows CE...

Ok... after browsing some French forums and other places I found some nice mods and hacks that weren't meant for the S1 but works anyway.

 

A) You can access the WinCE interface without replacing any files:

• Turn off the device using the on/off button on the back
  Now hold MENU and the VOLUME rolling key (just hold down)
  Turn the device back on

 

Now you should see a dialog asking if you want to load the WinCE interface.

 

The hardware is almost the same as the MIOMAP 310x so I was able to install the miomap (iGO) software on it.

 

C) Here is a webiste http://benji46.free.fr/ that got some tools, the best one is the WINCE unlocker, read the site for more info.

 

For now that's it. I still looking for a way to dump the rom so I can make (hopefully) some changes on the wince so I won't loose my settings when I do a on/off thing.
