is there a way to disable the hd in the Z130 (built in) or is there a fix from pioneer on the way? anyone have any info on either of these issue's. Thanks, Joe

Ron and Jason, Thank you for ALL of YOUR help! I finally got it, I have some info that may help others that happened during this mod I will post later tonight when i have the time, this was a bitch, but what I found out the pin insertion will help other first "timers" doing it and waybe some vets. Joe

ok, Just picked up twins in truck with no dashboard and harnesses hanging everywhere just put em down for nap and threw cup # 4 in the nuclear chamber now its time to really get into it, I have zactly 2 hours once back together i will test out the vr as you have suggested. thank you for your help/input<--- no pun intended. Joe

no everything else works, I can get and make calls if dialed, they come thru the HU so mic is fine. I am actually out there now just took dash out and hu is next, gonna check the grounds and pin integrity if all checks out large hammer? m-80 or 10 good thing I stopped at dunkin dognuts and got 6 super large with three shots esssssspressso each helps me keep my hands from shhhhakking. will let you all know if there is a hu avail for spare parts later this afternoon. Joe

then some wierd road apple's be happenin cause it all worked fine before the mod, and as I stated I (really) did this by the book err vid. I cannot imagine it being a loose connect but them road apples are there and they are huge and smell real bad LOL I am thinking it may be a ground even though I get a partial work from it, but when it no wanna work right rip it all apart an start again. one last thought, could it be that the HU was hooked up first without bypass to make sure all worked (it did) should I reset it to factory in the settings area? or dissconnect the + side of battery and re

any thoughts on the VR could they and/or should they be related in any way?

def in the right pin and it did "click" when pushed in, I will dbl check it did not come loose, also may try ground directly to the chassis Joe

so what do you think my next move should be? any thoughts? also what about the VR not working? Joe

Hey Jason, thats good to hear, but why would it all work (except VR) when truck is going less than 5 miles an hour any faster ans it gives that message and goes blank screen? it cant be the pin or I would get nothing to work, right? I also heard the pin "click" when moved up one. Joe

mine three, also the way this radio tunes "seek" just the up arrow on the right and down on the left side one press at a time is a HUGE PITA.. Joe

Hello all, I watched and followed the video to the letter.. I moved yellow mute up one, connected the light green prk brake wire to it then window spliced it to ground,the ground from hu that goes into factory harness shrink-tubed and taped it all up nicey nice. tried it out BINGO it worked without the p-brake... untill I went over 2 1/2- 5 MPH then I got a warning that it is illeagal blah blah blah and the screen goes blank,I still hear the movie no vid, when you stop it all works again, also voice commands no longer work at all, for Iphone calls come in and that works, if I dial via

Joe, ya search around for carputers. I had a friend who made one back when there was only a few video car systems available and GPS units were the hand held ones for hiking. So there is lots of info and parts out now. Here is a good link for info and parts. http://www.mp3car.com/ Hey spolkyc. I saw that site after I posted yesterday, pretty cool stuff I also found a bunch of odbII 's and software for the dynamics all this stuff including upto date 2din vga monitors, and a super small computer intel duel core 2.6 mhz 160 HDD for under 700 it does everything your home computer does y

Ya that makes sense. I am guessing that performance meter setup would kind of help out but I would imagine that a DAQ would meet you needs much better. I have not tried it but I can think of what would stop you from using the video in. This would cost more for the DAQ system and sensors but you could get all sorts of good info. Just an idea. Edit. You may want to check this thread out, especially the second page. There are a few links to automotive DAQ like Magden. OBDII/Dash/Car stats / possible programs? spolkyc check this out http://74.125.47.132/search?q=cache:RiQ ... clnk

I read the post you linked to, about the threat of being sued and I am still Laughing. I also contacted the bozo over there via email, asked If I ordered it that afternoon when could I expect it at my door NO Response, I emailed again asking if they reply to questions and if this is how they start a biz relationship with a customer how good would the service be if I ever had a problem, I then get an email that made no sense and telling me that he did respond to the other email, (which he was lying I got no such email in any of my boxes) so I then fired back another email to them that lying
