Check your satellites! You need a minimum of 3 to lock on. If you have less it will appear lost. The vss is only for speed not location. Where is your antenna mounted?
i never hook up the vss wire on pioneer units. It is very accurate with all 8 satellites. And the vehicle dynamics is dead accurate on the speed of the car without the vss. Just a preference for me.
which pin is it. I will be going to check the z2 before it leaves the lot on monday and will be able to experiment tommorrow. If anybody has any info i will try them so we can crack this.
z2 bypass seems to be the same. I did a z2 yesterday and it works the same as z1 but still gives parking brake message but does not lock out nav or dvd
The z1 is the best unit out right now and the most reliable. I sell the z1, d2, and, d3 and install them. I have never had an issue with one unit. Nothing compares to the Z1 and it blows OEM equipment away.
Instead of wiring the t cover to the radio fuse wire it to remote turn on from the z1. You can change the settings for the remote turn on to have power when the car is turned on.
As to your post on the focus. The best way to install that unit is to use a f150 kit metra part 99-5807 and make brackets to support unit. I have installed 4 or 5 of these in a focus. The kit that the car calls for is only single din with a pocket and this way the unit looks clean and flush.
