crimpy Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I just did the upgrade, thanks to all who posted. My questions revolves around the Gracenote upgrade. I took my Z2 to a Z3 with 2010 maps. Did Garrett's pack have the new Gracenote updates them? If no, I need to install the firmware upgrade from Pioneer first, before doing the upgrade to the Gracenote stuff, correct? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrettoomey Posted December 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 If you have one of my drives, you do NOT install the pioneer firmware, just update as normal. I config always includes the newest gracenotes available at the time of shipping. thanks, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madonionrings Posted December 2, 2011 Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 I just updated my Z1 by following the guide. Thanks! My only issue is that now it appears my address book, POI and all related selections are greyed out and unelectable? Am I missing something here? Kind of defeats the purpose of GPS if I can't enter a route. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrettoomey Posted December 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2011 You must have been using a flasher bypass? You need to either 1) connect the parking brake wire to the parking brake, or 2) do the 2 wire bypass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'm assuming this means I need to do the firmware upgrade, then the Gracenote. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was not using the flasher method before, but I agree something must have had it bypassed. I am unsure of the wiring as I purchased the car with the head unit installed. I do know that the parking brake must not be connected as I can't access the menus even when the brake is up. Any thoughts? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You would actually see the lights flash, but the head unit would 'think' that you flashed the lights in order to bypass. Either connect the light green to your parking brake for standard install, or follow the 2 wire bypass directions. good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
