What's the better unit and the difference, Z1, 2, 3 or a nex
jwq replied to Strokin393's topic in General
The reason is probably that practically nobody bought the maps, everybody just copied them..... -

There is no difference, it's just a matter of software. Z1 and/or Z2 can be upgraded to Z3 via software update -
Though I don't agree with the Pioneer policy (I'm in the same position as you), I guess one of the reasons is that practically no one actually buys the updates, but majority of the people use pirated copies......

sounds like a defective GPS antenna

Maybe better chance in the z140 forum part ? http://avic411.com/index.php?/forum/45-z110btz120btz130btz140bhz150bh/

nope, bypass is same with or without Vss ....
-
with it connected, it also reacts faster regarding turnoffs, direction changes etc....

Only if you pay for it (it's a package together with the last version of the maps....), see http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/archive/CNDV-1100HD/page.html alternative is to either download it somewhere (you have to unlock your harddisk etc, instructions on this forum), or take the easy road and get it ready installed on a new harddisk, in that case it's just a matter of exchanging the harddrive, see f.i.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2012-MAP-UPGRADE-PIONEER-AVIC-HD1BT-AVIC-HD3BT-AND-AVIC-HD3-II-TOSHIBA-60gb-HDD-/301589285834?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item46381f4bca

hardware between the zx and hdx is diferent and not compatible, i.e. different radio tuners, presence of RDS and TMC, etc. difference between z1,2 and 3 is just software. Same for diference between the hd1, hd2 and hd2-II Z units are for USA market, HD units for European So z units come with USA maps, HD units with European maps (in general, there's also Australian and Russian HD units...)

on the satellite status screen, are you receiving sufficient satellites ( 3, preferably more) ? On some cars with uv/heat blocking glass the glass has a thin metal covering, this glass also blocks gps signals.... As a test you could move the antenna outside, top facing upwards
-
I'd first see if it works when you get it back, before running the risk of an update going wrong.....
