Just installed it last night and put in my 60 gig hard drive upgrade and it seems to be working well so far. They charged me $200 and the repair ticket says they replaced the navi sensor housing. I believe it was the internal gps sensor that was the culprit here. They did nothing to my firmware. It was still vers 1.0 when I gotand went to the service screen. I would recommend over nighting it to them so you get your unit back the fastest. Mine took about two weeks but the problem appears fixed. I'll update you after my first week with it.

I had the same problem and after trying updates, hard drive upgrades and etc, I ended up still frustrated. I sent it back to Pioneer and it should be here on Tuesday. I called Pioneer to see what repair was done and they said they had to replace the "sensor housing". I'm not sure exactly what that means but I assume it's tied to the navigation system freezing up the entire operating system on the unit. I'll let you know how things work out when I get the unit back. I think you may have the same problem because my unit exibited the exact same symptoms. Nothing would work except for the volume.

I need your help. I have an Avic Z1 but I having problems with my unit freezing during operation. Everytime this happens (which is about once a week), I'll be listening to XM radio then I'll need my navigation to search for an address. Then bam...my unit will be completely frozen. The only thing that works is the volume. I can reset it or restart it and it will loadup completely but the entire until will be frozen on the last screen that I was operating. The touchscreen will not work nor the hard buttons at the bottom (except volume). I don't ever get the freezing at "Start-up" that most peopl

It's been awhile since I was in this forum. I need to clear my phones in my bluetooth list. How do I perform that type of reset? I couldn't remember whether I hold down the reset button and the MAP button at the same time or one after the other. Please advise. Thanks, Kleenkut13

I didn't have any luck on my Benz. I lost my steering wheel controls, but I love Z1 so much that it was still a win/win situation.

I didn't understand your answer.

I have the same SIR-PNR1 unit on my mother's Avic N2. I was trying XM out because my friend would always say he thought XM was better than Sirius. Well, after 4 months I like Sirius better. I am considering puting the SIR-PNR1 unit into my Azic Z1. Are you using the Avic Z1 with the SIR-PNR1 and can you describe how this unit displays on your Avic Z1? Do you get a two line display (artist and song)? Do you get a one line display? If it is a one line, does it scroll to display the full text or is it stationary with some text cut off. Or maybe the SIR-PNR2 has what I'm looking for with full

Please only vote once? What are your reasons for like one over the other.

Thanks for the input! I'm itching to get the new Cingular Treo 750 with Windows OS system. I think this phone will fix my problem.

Iversonbiatch, I also have an Oct -06 Unit that had the bluetooth update already present when I tried to update so I didn't have to use the cd. I did a level 3 reset to erase the existing phone and paired my phone again with the "listening" volume at its lowest setting. This along with proper mic placement, this help me tremendously. I have the Treo 650 and have not had 1 complaint since I reset and repaired. I also have ALL my speakers playing at at loud volume with no echo. The key is the "listening volume" when you initially pair the phone. I hope this helps. Kleenkut13

I have a Cingular Treo 650. I haven't had any success making phone calls from within the Z1's address book. I can dial from my phone with no problem. I can transfer contacts via bluetooth easily. Questions: Is this unit supposed to be able to dial directly from the head unit via address book or only from the phone. Has anybody has any success with this and which phones.

03 Aviator, I totally agree because I haven't heard not one complaint about echo after my install and repositioning the mic. I have the Oct-06 unit which encompasses the bluetooth upgrade. I am very pleased with my unit thus far.

What will be the differences between the Z1 or Z2 besides updated maps?

This unit is now INSTALLED! It is no longer for sales! Sorry!

Can anybody shed some light on this?
