appreciate the upload! much easier than trying to find a seed 4 years later

Thanks again Garrett.. That is the reassurance I needed.. I went ahead with the CD upgrade with the confidence that it wouldn't lock my drive somehow.. I burned a CD via Nero9's Data Burner (right within Start Smart) Pioneer's instructions state: "Please note that the CD you record must be in one of the following formats using Mode 1: ISO9660 level1/level2, Joliet, or Romeo." While I didnt see any options to set a specific format using the app within Start Smart.. I went ahead and added the 6 files provided in the 09-01-0100.zip folder.. hit burn Took the upgrade CD out to my AV

I suppose I can give it a shot.. my only concern with that was that i have an unlocked HDD.. If I tried to install the CD would this somehow lock my drive again.. I think I might just take the "scenic route" and pull the drive.. I wouldnt want to risk any future map update's for a new CDDB.db speaking of map updates.. has there been any word of a release date for the new map pack?

Rubbish.. damn Commie bastards!! thats not fair.. I gotta rip out my hard drive, boot down my machine, attach a rediculous cable in a hard to reach spot in my tower.. attach my drive.. boot.. back up.. replace my files.. shutdown.. put my HDD back in my car.. and see if it worked.. which i assume will take no more then the 20 minutes that the CD update claims to take according to Pioneers site .. I'll just chalk it up to some busy work instead of waiting im my car for 20 dull minutes

garret I know your familiar with the z1/z2 --> z3 upgrades.. I successfully upgraded my Z1 -> Z3 back in April. again, thnx for your support!! I see the latest Gracenotes Release (09-01-0010) is limited to Z1/Z2 according to pioneers site http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/Navigation/AVIC-Z1+AVIC-Z2+Gracenote+CDDB+Database+Update Would this work considering I sort of have a Z1? Or does my new Z3 software mean the only resemblance to my original Z1 is that of the stamp on the faceplate. If a Gracenotes update is at all plausible via CD, do I risk "locking" my dr

orig post has been removed for stupidity I have just updated my phone with AT&T old phone: Cingular 3125 - was able to connect and send contacts 1x1 ** the incoming Voice was barely audible despite the Z3 mute settings edit --> This was actually a problem with my front seat woofers New speakers are now in place which fixed all of my audio problems lol water damage is a bitch.. lesson learned.. dont smoke in the rain with the windows cracked new phone: LG Inci

I am still awaiting my new hard drive and and 2.5 -> 3.5 HDD cable in the mail.. Seeing as how I hate creating frisbee's with corrupt CD-Rs and a huge pile of proper CDs gathering on my desk. I will take Garret's approach.. and simply drop the latest Gracenote release (Oct_08) into the folder LDATA/AV/CDDB while it is connected to my PC.. seems simple enough props out to Garret btw.. He is an extraordinary resource and a very patient man!
