osubucks Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Does anyone know when Pioneer will release the new 2008 Maps for the Z2? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djmixmac Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 They posted info about the Z3 upgrade disc for Z1/Z2 owners on the pioneer website. its named CNDV-800HD. Not sure if anyone has it in stock yet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrettoomey Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 You could also update your existing hd with the download available on the forum, or get a new upgrade hard drive for plug and play. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djmixmac Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 ^%^, yeah but many of us have tons of music on our HDD thats not only a hassle to replace, but no longer able to since it was either a borrowed CD or tough to find MP3, etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bogie Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 I agree... I wish I had upgraded my hard drive before I put so much music on it. When I feel like getting a hard drive to play with, I will check to see if I'm able to copy the music files from one to the other. Otherwise, I'm not starting over.

garrettoomey Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 You can save your music/address book and update to z3 maps and software. You would need to buy an unlock license to unlock the original drive. The License is about $43. If you are unable to do this yourself, I charge $50 to use the license to unlock the drive, turn off security, update the software, update the maps, and return ship via USPS priority in the USA. I will turn around in less than 24 hours. You will be without navigation and frills, but the AVIC-Z will still operate as an am/fm radio while your drive is being upgraded. You will then have the ability to upgrade to any future maps with ease once the original drive is unlocked and security has been turned off. I can also put your music on a new faster larger hard drive if you prefer, but your original will still need to be unlocked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djmixmac Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 Thank you sir, you definitely are an asset to our forum. I'm sure others will take up on your deal. I'm gonna order the disc soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whtcrxghst Posted June 10, 2008 Report Share Posted June 10, 2008 On the bright side, it looks like the disk is only $120 this year. Beats $250 last year Quote Link to post Share on other sites
djmixmac Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_133 ... 800HD.html Looks like sonicelectronix.com is going to have these soon. I plan on ordering it after finding out what the ETA is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Z1 newbie Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 ^%^, yeah but many of us have tons of music on our HDD thats not only a hassle to replace, but no longer able to since it was either a borrowed CD or tough to find MP3, etc. I thought buying the map update only replaces the mapping on a Z1/Z2. The music partition should remain untouched. No? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jwq Posted July 25, 2008 Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 Using the update DVDs, that's correct. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tripper_1966 Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I won't waste a dime on the new update. We did the 2007 map update and Teleatlas is backwards - there are SO MANY errors that DID NOT exist with the original map data that was installed with the unit. We contacted Teleatlas about all the errors that didn't exisit prior to the upgrade and they asked to send in information about the errors. There is just TOO much to deal with this. It's just a money grab! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mateojimmy Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 Update disks available http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/ ... CNDV-800HD Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tripper_1966 Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 That's nice they are available. So was the 2007 update that had about 20% errors in maping compared to the installed data on the Avic in 2006. Why pay for something that has more errors. They should be free until Teleatlas gets their data at least 95% correct Quote Link to post Share on other sites
