It wasn't too fun. The car ended up being totalled - cracked condenser and radiator, a ton of trunk/rear damage, two busted bumpers. I've been in a rental and looking for new cars so I haven't gotten a chance to go to my car at the repair shop to check the fuse. I think what I'm going to do is just get the money, take out my Z2, buy a new civic (eyeing a 2006 atm), and then just install it and figure out what the problem is. If it's completely shot, I'll just buy a standalone gps and live without an iPod adapter

I got rear-ended at a red light by someone going ~40mph. I'm okay other than whiplash and a stiff neck, but my beloved Avic-Z2 literally went dark. I tried holding in the reset button on the front hoping that maybe it just shut down to preserve the hard drive when I got slammed, but no luck. I searched through the manual in hopes of an answer, but I found nothing. I figured I'd come here and ask you all before I tear my my dash apart to check for loose connections.

1) I'm thinking it is the wire#2 in the actual connector that is the problem because while I was doing the bypass I asked my Dad, who knows a ton about cars, if the steel bar running horizontally behind the dash was part of the chassis and he thought it was. That is where I drilled my ground screw. 2) The GPS is working fine now, so I don't think that message was causing the gps to not work - was probably just calibrating slowly from the reset. 3) I found this out late last night and everything works thank you 4) I also looked around and found that it is a blu/wht wire on the ECU

My uncle gave me a Z2, so I used my general head unit knowledge (as well as lurking on these forums a few times) and installed it in my 2003 civic LX. I had the GPS velcrod on top of my steering column, right behind my wheel and for a couple months it worked fine. During installing I accidentally connected the z2 illumination wire to my cars dimmer (knew because the dimmer knob controlled the brightness) so I decided today to fix it, as well as move my GPS to my trunk, and also connect my new sirius radio to the aux audio input. So I do all that fairly easily, and now I have a few problems and
