Heads-up! The Navigation.com website now has the new 2017 maps for Z130BT, Z140BH, X930BT, X940BT and for earlier models Z110bt, Z120BT & X920BT. http://www.navigation.com I suggest reading the installation instructions found on the above website before installing. Note: I posted the same message in the X series forum and requested that they post any discussion on this update here. The F series guys (which use the same firmware but EU maps) usually are ahead of us on finding hacks, so keep an eye over there.

They call it "map scale" in the manual. See image below. Setting to .1 mile will give the most detail but may be too close-in for you. Try pressing '-' to gradually zoom out enough for your needs. There's threads on the 2015 US/Can map update in both the Z and X series forums. The same update works for both. They are long threads and much obsolete info is at the beginning. You might want to start at the end and work backwards.

Zoom-in more. Is there a reason you didn't install the 2015 maps (the latest for the Z and X series).

The only way that makes sense is if your wiring is totally messed-up. Start with checking the Mute wire, backup wire, and parking brake wire. Was this a used unit? The previous owner may have moved the mute wire to do the Parking Brake Bypass. Do you have steering-wheel controls connected? BTW, please stop spamming the same post. Your questions won't get answered any quicker.

TestMode is much safer and easier to use than Hackmode - which installs and modifies your system. Sometimes the install goes awry, leaving your unit unable to boot. To get into TestMode on most X and Z series units, download this file supertestmode.zip to a PC, unzip it, put TestMode.key on a FAT32 formatted SD, and insert it in your unit. IFAIK this file doesn't work on x950 & z150, but if it does, or someone knows one that works - please post to this thread.

No, I don't. Save yourself much grief = don't install Hackmode. It can brick your unit. Use Testmode instead. Once you get into File Maintenance, its the same process. To get into TestMode on most X series units (except x950), download this file supertestmode.zip to a PC, unzip it, put TestMode.key on a FAT32 formatted SD, and insert it in your unit.

Create one on your PC, then copy it to the SD. Make sure it is named PRG.FLG Then in TestMode, select it on SD, then navigate to /USER and paste it. BTW, this may or may not fix your problem. But it won't hurt anything and is easily reversible.

That's not how you get into TestMode on a X930-BT. Download this file supertestmode.zip to a PC, unzip it, put TestMode.key on a FAT32 formatted SD, and insert it in your unit.

There's not enough information here to begin to diagnose this. My first thought is that this is a signal issue. That could be caused by an antenna issue, or a sensitivity setting in the headunit. If it isn't one or the other, its a hardware problem in the headunit. That usually means sending it to a technician. If you've got a manual, look at the FM tuner section. If don't have a manual, download one from Pioneer. First question I have is what station frequency does it keep returning to? Is it 87.9 or 107.9? (assuming a US unit). That might indicate that the tuner could not find a

This is a long thread. Which instructions were you following? I hope you didn't install HackMode.

Could be several things. I almost never use my radio, so you might need to look-up in the manual. Sounds like the tuner is seeking a frequency lock. There is a setting that affects tuner sensitivity. It might be accessed through the gear (settings) icon on the bottom of the FM screen. Do you get any stations while it is seeking? Any sound from the radio? Can you manually tune? I don't mean presets - there is a manual tune up/down. Also could be a problem with the antenna. Is yours amplified? Could be the power or coax wire unplugged. Or your tuner could be shot. Before tearing it out,

Auto-eq has nothing to do with the bypass. Where I was going before with my question (until he started jerking me off) was that many menu options are inaccessible (grayed-out) if the parking brake is not set. This would not apply if he had the parking brake bypassed.

Yes, I believe it is necessary to support Lightning cables. uCom is the microcomputer software. I believe that would include low level drivers. However, as I said, I never manually updated my unit. After installing 6.0, I now have uCom v8.12. So I assume that the v6 update loaded it. I'll let you decide whether that means it is safe to go ahead. Maybe someone else has some experience with this.

On the uCom Forced Write screen, what version does it show under uCom? Oddly, the instructions don't ever say to do anything other than check that version 8.05 is installed. BTW, I have never been able to get forced write to read from an SD. But I don't use a Lightning cable for my old iTouch.

OK, so it looks like you have some hardware skills and equipment. I'm not much use with diagnosing hardware problems, but here is a Z110BT Service Manual that might help. http://avic411.com/files/Z110BTServiceManual.pdf

That happens occasionally. Standard fix is to do a hard boot by disconnecting all power for a few minutes. Easiest way is to disconnect the battery.

Just to verify, are you saying that those hard buttons are never working? Do any work? (Vol +/- or Trk < >) It sounds like a hardware problem. It has nothing to do with the parking brake bypass. You might ba able to get parts, but unless you have pretty good electronics skills, you'd need to send it for repairs. Without the eject button working, you might not be able to run the diagnostics in TestMode. I've never tried it, but maybe you can run TestMode from a USB jump drive. In Testmode, there is a way to test the buttons. To get into Testmode, download SUPERTESTMODE.ZIP, then u

For those that don't speak French, that would be even and odd. In English - pair and impair have totally different meanings.

Try setting the parking brake.

Do not install anything - especially Hackmode. You'll have a 50% chance of bricking your unit. Search for and download to your PC supertestmode.zip and extract testmode.key from the zip. Put that on your FAT32 SD and insert into the headunit. This procedure erases any password in X and Z series headunits. The basic steps are: Put SD into HU Boot into Testmode Go to File Maintenance Navigate to USER\SYSTEM\SECURITY Delete PASSWORD.DAT Remove the SD Restart the unit As I have noted in many posts, don't password protect your unit. It won't stop a thief and will just be a big PITA in the fu

Several. What file did you clobber? Have you tried switching to the reserve program directory? Does /USER/PRG.FLG exist? If so delete it. If not create it. Have you tried installing the latest software (v6 2015 maps)?

Have you tried installing the map upgrade (2015)? http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/82391-avic-f10f20f920f9210f9220bt-evrope-maps-update/
