abergdc Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 I don't have the unit (yet?). I can see my wife being very irritated if we have to wait for half a minute when we start the car. I assume that if we just start moving right away, then we can eventually "accept" the usage warning and begin navigation when the unit is ready to go, right? Sorry if this is a silly question, but I saw some very big complaints about start-up time in various places and for me this would not be an issue if the above is true, as I almost always know the basic direction to begin moving.

madmanfrommars Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 Yes. You don't have to wait for the unit to completely finish booting up before you can start driving. Just hit accept whenever you want. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tillithz Posted January 7, 2007 Report Share Posted January 7, 2007 and the last music selection begins playing rather immediately, you have control of volume but thats it. So you can drive right away, and press ok later, and even have control of the last audio source rather quickly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jobewan Posted January 10, 2007 Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Also, if you're backing up and have a camera installed, the unit displays the rear view instantly. I think you can also instantly adjust the volume. Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites

By the time I put it in drive there is music playing and I see the "ok" screen if I look down quick cuz my kids are very fast at hitting that "ok" every morning.

mikek Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 and the last music selection begins playing rather immediately if it's from the hard drive then the music won't play until after boot up. Radio and CDs play immediatlely. Probably Ipods too, but I dont own one. -mk Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think the fasted to hear sound is: Ipod Followed by Sat, Radio, CD Hard drive library seems to take the longest to start playing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tillithz Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 mikek if you dont own one, how do you know? not trying to be smart but reliable info might be best coming from someone who knows. But either way, it doesnt matter much to me... I dont use the library. The boot up time is a big to do about nothing in my opinion, it is a little longer then the average, but your suppose to warm up your car prior to driving anyways.

I just figured (correctly) that Ipods would play immediately because you are not accessing the Z1 hard drive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tillithz Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 ohh ipod you dont own, not a z1. have you tried the library to see how long it takes? like i said i dont use that at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Once the Pioneer startup screen goes away then you hear music from your library. Since you don't use the library, can I have your 10GB? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
