I wanted to provide another endorsement of Garret's products and service. His responsiveness and attention to detial are unmatched and the hard drive works flawlessly. I highly recommend his update.

For anyone following this, I've tried all the combinations of accessory removal that I can think of. I sent the unit back to Pioneer (out of warranty since I bought it on Ebay) and they "aligned touch panel" (according to the receipt). I hope it was more involved than the user alignment I'd already tried several times! I reinstalled the unit, and had the exact same problem. I tried the unit connected with ONLY the main power (no accessories) connected and got the same result. I double-checked my power and ground connections, no change. Now I'm tying to contact Pioneer to return it yet AG

I do have the steering wheel controller and it has some programming issues. Is this a documented side effect, or a hypothesis?

It doesn't make a noise. It behaves as if the screen is being repeatedly touched. The map constantly scrolls south-west, if the DVD is playing, it beeps and the stop button behaves as if it is being pressed over and over ets (meaning the same portion of the screen is affected regardless of the operation being used). I generally make short trips, so it never fully warms up to be certain, but it almost seems like the warming is when it starts (that could be coincidental). What I was looking for is something like a 3d calibration for the touch screen. I think I need to lower the touch thresh

I've had a Z1 in my truck for about 6 months with no major problems. I have the steering wheel remote control interface, IPOD adapter, bluetooth, and backup camera installed (I have not correctly programmed the steering wheel remote yet). Recently, the screen has started behaving as if someone if constantly clicking it. The behavior usually begins about 5 minutes after startup (although it is not consistent). It always seems that the error is in the same portion of the screen ( roughly between the pause/ play and stop buttons while running DVD, but the behavior happens in all modes)
