BenBrown Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 I just bought a Z110BT for my 04 Tacoma. I ran all the wires last night and assembled the harness including the bypass. I am quite anal when it comes to wiring a car stereo so everything was checked and double checked, soldered and heat shrinked. This morning I hooked up the unit and turned her on for the first time. Everything worked wonderfully except for the screen would not open. I did remember hearing something when it was first powered up... sort of a whirrr-click whirrr-click whirr-click then the splash screen came up. I remember when I heard this sound the first thing I thought was..."this doesn't sound good" I reset all factory settings, even unplugged all power for 10-15 minutes then tried it again. I never even had a chance to reinstall the dash bezel back in place. I even removed the brackets from the unit and let it just sit in the hole and tried it....same sound and same problem. I can bring up the eject screen and press open or insert SD card and both of these functions light up when I press them but nothing lights up when I try to tilt the screen. Any ideas? I already talked to the people where I purchased it from and will be returning it first thing tomorrow morning. The worst part of it is I bought it from a vendor in California and I live in Maryland. I did get a really good price on it though... $899 for the unit and $30 for the genuine Pioneer iPod cable and they threw in the Toyota harness. Bummer! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pogigreg Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 Sounds like you got a dud. Happens. I had one as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Grestorn Posted January 2, 2010 Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 My F10BT, which was installed on Dec-23 shows the same behaviour: "Open" does nothing at all and the two tilt buttons are greyed out. My dealer called Pioneer for a replacement unit, which should arrive any day. If it's not a faulty installation it sounds like an error in a whole production line...

BenBrown Posted January 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2010 Well I hope it's not a faulty production line as I imagine the stock which the vendor most likely came from the same batch. I should have my replacement next Thursday. We will see. All we can do is hope... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
