Has their been a office release for a update yet with instructions on how to use it and etc? And does it correct the daylight savings time and etc? God Bless

Here is the avic s2 http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v ... 19,00.html My only question is, why hasn't the avic s1 received more updates, like a update for the daylight savings time? Pioneer really needs to look at companies liek garmin and try to keep up with them.

Man thats great whtcrxghst! I hope navteq utilizes the same feature! Seems like teleatlas is doing pretty good. God Bless.

Hey everyone, hows that new Tele atlas multi net database feature? When you enter an address or POI on the D3 with the new tele atlas maps lead you almost right to your destination when you enter your address? Just wondering, I saw no one talking about this. God Bless.

I still want to know why the update isn't listed on the avic s1 page on pioneer electronics.com? Also, to long time users who installed the update, what differences have you noticied? Did it add anything? I need to find out why it isn't listed with instructions on the pioneer avic s1 page. God Bless

Hey thanks, I don't know how you found that either lol. But did you install the update, if so, what does the update add or fix?

Anyone know if there will be an update for the avic s1 this year like the ability to add new features like a phone number under POI and etc. The avic s1 really needs a update.

Hey whtcrxghst, I was wondering if you had any information on the new garmin nuvi 670,680, coming out soon, like features etc. Thanks and God Bless.

Hey whtcrxghst, have you heard anything about the avic s2? Will the avic s1 be upgradable to the avic s2?

What does the avic s1 update do? I still haven't downloaded the european version of the update, just don't trust it, has anyone else down it?

[quote name="sanco"]Could ANYBODY help me PLEASE!!! Nedd the firmware of Avic S1 Mine is dead because I erased the system. Only the winceimg.bin helps - a copy from original S1. Please! Plesae! Please! send me a pm, or to sanco@hotmail.com[/quote] Sanco, why don't you just call pioneer and tell them your problem, if sure they will tell you to send your unit in and they will do the rest. God Bless

I called pioneer about the europen firmware upgrade, and they told me it can't be used for the american avic s1.

Why don't you check out the nissan altima 2007? Comes out in a few weeks [url]http://www.familycar.com/RoadTests/NissanAltima/Photos2007.htm[/url]

Yeah I'm probably getting the garmin nuvi. But if you put "avic s1 user reviews" in google, I see many excellent reviews of the avic s1, so I guess it's not doing that bad.

[quote name="Aerothermochemistry"]The European version uses TeleAtlas 2005.1 maps which people want to update to the TA 2006 version. The US version uses Navteq maps. According to the manual you can restore/update maps if damaged. Soooo question is if you can overwrite the Navteq maps with the TA maps and make the US AVIC-S1 work in Europe. And more importantly can you then subsequently over write the TeleAtlas maps with the OEM CDs supplied with the US version to restore the full US functionality again. Any help is appreciated![/quote] Hmmm I don't know? I know you can do that with th

Okay thanks a lot. I might go with the Garmin 360, just don't feel like paying a lot for the avic z1 when a garmin can do the same thing or better navigation wise. Also I like how they constantly update the device on their site and you can upload travel guides, and POI loaders and etc, and the excellent reviews on the garmin. But I'm still going to shop around. I might get the indash at a later date who knows? But why if the portable does the same thing? Thanks and God Bless

[quote name="bdmpastx"]If you want a REAL navigation, get something from Garmin. You will not find anything better in my opinion. However, I do like my Z1 in the car. It does a very nice job. There are gripes and bitches when people own a real GPS and go to the Z1 or any other in car navigation. Some are that things don't work the same. Like being able to find an intersection, planning your own routes and such. The Garmin is nice cause you can do a lot of stuff on the computer and download it to the device. You cannot do that with indash systems. I wish you could. I use my Garmin when I go in

Hello everyone. I'm comparing a portable vs. a in-dash navigation system, I strickly want a navigation system for [u]navigation purposes[/u] don't need anything else. So I was wondering why pay $2000+ for a in dash navigation like avic z1, when a avic s1 for 400 can navigate the same way, or some other portable device, and I can put it in other cars. Would a in dash navigation system be more reliable? But overtime I still will upgrade to a indash because you can add rear view camers to it and etc to a indash but just wondering for navigation purposes is it worth the money? Thanks and God

[quote name="knicks0819"]Hey guys, I'm considering the purchase of an AVIC-Z1 and was about to buy it until I came across a post here about it being possibly obsolete in about a year. How often does Pioneer make new systems, or does anyone know what's coming out next year? I'm just concerned about getting the Z1 and then something crazy comes out a couple months later.. lol. What do you guys think.. should I get it or are there rumors of what's to come in the near future?[/quote] Well I talked to a pioneer rep on the phone and he said they usually start production of new models in J

[quote name="FiremistSLK"]Hi again ALL! Well, Thanks alot for all the replies to my first post and question! It looks like the majority of 1 owners really like it! So, I will be out to the stores this weekend to look for a good price for the Z1. I am a trained aircraft mechanic (worked for Eastern Airlines) and have usually done all my own auto repairs, so I think I will install it myself with the help from all the great people here! Thanks again!![/quote] Don't forget to consider the avic s1, it uses navteq mapping data and seems fine to me, not to many complaints at all about it,

[quote name="BearGator56"]I drive about 3000 miles a week. It's pretty rare that the tracking cursor leaves the road. There's only 2 places I know that it does this: US-27 between Carrolton and LaGrange, GA, and US-280 between Opelika and Birmingham, AL. Both of these roads have been re-routed in new construction. My VSS wire is not hooked up. The cursor has never shown the vehicle travelling in a direction that I wasn't going-unless I take off before I have given it a chance to get it's bearings. Sometimes, if the truck has been shut off for some time, it may take it a second. I hav

[quote name="hasher13"]As I walk to my car this moring, I see a few odd looking car parts and wires next to my car. As I walk closer and look in the window, angryly noticed that someone finally did it. They finally stole my AVIC Z-1. After taking a quick glance to see if anything else was stolen, I called the police. Yes they also took my bluetooth adapter and navtrafic receiver. They did leave the CD changer, game port, and other quite valuable items (I guess not valuable enough). So I filed a police report and the forensic fingerprinting unit came by to investigate.
