AVIC Z1/Z2/Z3 Upgrade to 2012 TomTom Maps Released!
garrettoomey replied to mikemaan's topic in Hacks/Mods
I think you found your issue from the post in the other section. I responded to it there. Good luck. -
You are not missing any steps. Contact the ebay seller and request a replacement as it's defective or they installed software incorrectly on the drive.

There is a whole thread just below this one with details on the 2010 DIY upgrade. A link to the torrent is on the 7th page. If you are looking the "easy" way, you can still buy the upgrade from Pioneer's website.

They are about $40 each on ebay.

I assume you have an AMP, either factory or aftermarket... I think your system is not wired correctly. There are 2 blue wires on the back of the Z.

I have used epoxy to glue the rack back in place, assuming the gear side is ok, and only the small mounting ears are broken. -

garrettoomey replied to mikemaan's topic in Hacks/Mods
See if your avic will play any other discs to confirm your DVD player is not dead. Open the screen like you are going to change discs and you will see the HDD cover and 2 screws (torx t8) -
