  1. Check-out www.cubbycam.com I have one of his cameras and the quality is great! Service was also excellent.
  2. I've done a search on the forum but can't seem to find anything on the Zip Code searching? I am just wondering why this feature is not there? Wouldn't it be easy to add for Pioneer? It's often faster and easier to search a destination by Zip Code, isn't it? I know there is a telephone search which is ok, however telephone numbers often change and it only works on buisnesses. Wondering if anyone has an opinion on this?
  3. Hi all, I have just purchased a 2005 Chevy Avalanche Lt Z71 with the bose system and Onstar! I have an AvicZ1 unit which I removed from my trade in vehicle. I have the following questions? 1. Can this unit install with all functions working properly in this truck? (it has the Bose system) 2. Will the Onstar still work? I noticed with the factory radio that the Onstar is displayed on the radio screen when using the phone etc... 3. Will the stock chimes work? (Reverse sensors etc...) 4. Can I upgrade my Z1 to Z3 before re-installing the unit? (Does Pioneer offer this service?
  4. Can anyone tell me where to find the new bluetooth upgrade download? Thanks in avance!

    Back Up Cameras

    Yes Silveradojeff, Please let us know what you think about the quality of the image once you have installed it. I also have bought the same one you did and i hope the image quality is ok?
  6. How old is your car and what is it? Are you saying you don't have a VSS wire on your car? Why buy the adapter if your car might have the VSS wire?
  7. gotta get that flasher unit in. It's really awsome and works well! Also really have to get that VSS wire hooked up otherwise some features won't work! post your pics when ya get a chance!
  8. wow, that wa very helpful. i have the shop manual and electrical shop manual which i bought from the dealer. Just looked at everything carefully just now and i see a wire which is in the harness which is called (antenna B+) on connector pin 23 in the shop manual. And in the electrical manual it labels that connector number 23 as the diversity antenna wire! I am assuming that this would be the wire I need to connect onto the blus Z1 power antenna wire? Wow i was so disappointed with the reception, This all make so much sense now. I owe you a beer! Thanks so much Guest!
  9. wow, thanks so much for the info! What is that wire in your Sonata described as? You obviously don't have a power antenna! And was this wire you hooked it up to in the orinal wire harness's cable?
  10. Hi all, I have installed the AVIC Z1 in my Entourage minivan and i do not have as good a signal strength for the radio stations. My original stock radio was able to get stations which my new Z1 is not able to lock onto or which now give very poor reception? Has anyone else noticed this? Is this normal? Anyone's input would be greatly appreciated? Below are a few pics of my install!
  11. HUm very weird indeed! Like i said mine did it once but when i restarted it was fine? Let me know what they say!
  12. nope i'm sure that's not the problem! It also happened to me once and i checked all the volume levels. Evertything was high. All i had to do is restart the car and the guide volume came back!
  13. Is is still not working? If it is now after restarting your car! I'm thinking its just a windows thing. It is a windows based hard drive and we all know windows can do some funky stuff at times. I'm thinking not everything loaded up properly when the unit booted up! It's only happened to me once and never again although I have only had my unit for a bout a week now!
  14. Nope, unfortunately you cannot stre any pics on the hard drive! You must keep that disc handy for the background pic changes! I'm not too crazy about that feature as well!
  15. thats really weird! Tha actually happened to me as well once! I just simply restarted the car and everything was ok again! Do you have the Headlight flasher kit installed?
  16. Hey guys, Finished my install last week end! I love this unit. I used the roiginal radio's mounting brackets, only have to add a couple extra holes in them to align it all perfectly! Install took about three hours. Alot of dash to remove!
  17. Hey ducatiboy, Thanks for that info. I just dimmed that and its much better! Yes it dims with the lights but it was still very bright. Now that i dimmed it way down when the lights are on its pretty good. I still would have liked it to work with the screen right off! But this is ok! By the way thanks so much for the headlight unit it works great. I did the whole install myself and it worked perfectly! Thanks a million.
  18. Hey Aviator thanks for responding! Yes i am holding the v button! I read what you told me to in the hardware manual and understand why the nav does not work in this case. But does anyone know if it is possible to shut the screen off another way but still hear and get the directions to your destination without actually seeing it on the screen. That screen can be quite bright and get on your nerves after watching it for 6 hours at night when on a trip!
  19. Hey guys, I'm not sure if this is how it should work? BUt if it is i think it should be different! When i set a destination at night especially i sometimes like to drive with the screen off! It seems that when the screen is off it will not give me directions. I realize that when you are listening to the radio and you set a destination you can have it to radio screen and when a new direction comes up it switches to the map and shows you where to turn which is great but it would be nice if it could tell you where to go as it does by voice without using the screen! Is this how all these u
  20. Hey Ducatoboy, Just installed my Z1 today with your headlight flasher circuit board and al is great! Your instruction went awsome without a glitch. I have it all installed in the new Hyundai Entourage! Looks great! I will be posting my install tomorrow when i get my camera back! Thanks again bud! Your the best, i cannot imagine this unit with all the locks on it! Would have sucked without this unit. Thanks again and have a great week end!

  22. does anyone know if the unit is bought in Canada if it would have the same 23 cities loaded in there?
  23. i beleive this is meant to hook up the stock steering controls that some cars have!
  24. Hey Ducatiboy, Got my circuit in today here in canada so i guess getting through the border wasn't much of an issue aterall. Thanks again. I'll be doing my install myself on friday i'll let you know how it goes. But i'm sure its gonna be A OK! Thanks again for shipping so promptly! Have agreat day!
