Although the sticky post is VERY informative on taking apart the AVIC Z series, all the pictures are broken and overall just years old. Today I got bored and decided to try my luck and take apart the unit so that I can fix the plastic gear slide. It really only took about an hour to disassemble and that is ONLY because I striped 2 screws and had to dremmel them off. TOOLS NEEDED screwdriver bit kit, must contain the really tiny Phillips, Flathead and torx bits. Dremel; ONLY if you're like me and stripped the screw heads. STEPS Follow this sticky thread EXACTLY. http://avic4

whats the file for the most recent map update? i posted in the tomtom thread that i torrented some files but not sure if they are correct to the z series

has anyones Z units show any problems mechanically sliding? when i turn my car off it now forces the screen to slide out, when i turn the car on it sometimes clicks (sometimes not) before sliding half way back up and i am forced to assist it all the way closed, where it then 'catches' and proceeds to function normally...everyday...for like the last few days (i CANNOT floss filthy with this disability, it looks ghetto). with that being said i did look under the slide with the screen out and i did notice on the right side their is a white plastic gear tab on the right side slide that looks

i just found a torrent labeled "pioneer 2012 us-can maps upgrade" but the readme.txt says its for the z1xx and xxx models, is this not the right one? ..btw i havent posted here in years lol... glad to see so many new options now for hacking the hdd

im in the 951 hit me up and ill check it out. i just installed my second z unit the other day

so i picked up a z1 reflashed to a z3 with a 60g hdd. (i previously owned just a reg z1) and so i searched a few pages already and cant find the diy on how to upload pics for it. after reading the z3 diy im guessing theirs no way to do it off boot cds?

from the plug. you know the blue/white switch wire that turns the amp on yea that one! i know it goes in the last row but i dont know if its the top or bottom..... hellppppp btw... does anyone know where i can get the lil mounting screws that connect the headunit to the pioneer sleeve?

im in riverside... if u wanna drive up. im actually installing another z1 in my car rite now.

no but it never fails that everytime i come up on extra money to save somthing happens to my car... and this is case and point.anyways anyone have their stuff jacked and has progressive ins?

after owning my pioneer avic z1 since the first month it debut' this morning bad guys finally took it... now i talked to a progressive policy person about what exactly my policy covers and their only gonna cover up to 1000$ worth of aftermarket stuff. and my deductible is half that...maaan this is gonna be a long day 2marrow the adjuster to get them to cover the whole price (since i hvae the recipt... or at least replace it with a refurbished z3) ill get pics up as soon as i figure how to take them off my phone.

coudlnt someone just buy the dvd then just rip copies of it?? how long will it take before it comes available to download freely?

anyone have a link to where to buy the antanee

ok so my car got totalled and the insurance is letting me part evertying out...my only problem is the audio shop that installed the unit some how managed to route the wire behind my dash so taht it comes out infront of the front window (in the pic u can see it routed on the far right) anways will it affect the signal if i were to cut the wire and just resoder it together then shrink wrap a sleeve over it?? i need to know asap since im going to the body shop in a few hours... thanks!

ok so now taht summers over thank god...i dont have to worry about the whole over heating issues...but now lately my navi location has been spazing out every so often...on the map it always has me in the wrong location than i really am. ive tried turning the car off and waitinf for it to readjust but nothing...anyone else?

wat is this software you speak of?

not to rub it in...but i bought mine brand new for 1495$ shipped when they FIRST came out....goes to show the value on these, but i loooove mine

alot of people seem to be having trouble with this... 1. make sure your jpegs are 1000x480 2. use nero burning software 3. dl/l this program http://www.mynikko.com/dummy/ 4. put all your pictures in a folder called PICTURES 5. create a 100mb dummy file and put it in a folder called STUFF 6. put both of those folders in the burning software 7. burn away!

ive tried and tried and searched and found a few options but whats the best eq custom setting for "rap/hiphop" & "rock/alternative" ???
