drozovs Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Does anyone know when the next AVIC-Z1 from Pioneer is expected to ship? I have mine on backorder and cannot get Crutchfield.com to tell me aything! Thanks David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JasonH Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 The Z1 is discontinued and is being replaced by the Z2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OSUV Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Yeah, I'm surprised that Crutchfield placed an AVIC-Z1 on backorderfor you. there are no more Z1s. I'm sure that you'll be getting a Z2 instead of a Z1. You should give Crutchfield a call to confirm this. Cheers, Kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drozovs Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 What is the Z2 going to be like? Why has Crutchfield not told me this? Should I cancel my order and get the Z2 if they are waiting to give me the Z1? Is Pioneer going to update their site? Sorry for all the questions lol. Thanks!

T Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 no the z1 is not discontinued yet there is one more shipment of z1's that just hit the country, in very limited numbers. then that will be it of the z1 till april when the z2 is here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drozovs Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 So should I wait for the Z2 or should I take my Z1 and be happy? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OSUV Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Technically tgrove is correct. The final Z1s were manufactured in December 2006 but I don't know that Crutchfield will see any of them. And even if they do, I would definitely hold out for the Z2. The navigation of the Z2 is suppose to be a substantial improvement over the Z1 navigation. If you do buy the Z1, you'll need to spend another $200 to upgrade it to the Z2 once the upgrade becomes available. I would suggest that you contact Crutchfield and ask if you can hold out for the Z2 and purchase it for the same price that you paid them for the Z1. I'm sure they will let you do this. If they won't, then cancel your order and holdout for the first Z2 that becomes available. You'll be able to buy a new Z2 at the same price that Crutchfield is selling you the Z1 for. Good luck with your decison. Kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drozovs Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Thanks Guys! Kevin, out of curiosity, has the availability of an upgrade been announced or is this just assumed? Thanks! David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whtcrxghst Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Its on the price sheet from CES. Haven't seen a formal announcement though, but they don't update their site all that quickly Quote Link to post Share on other sites
OSUV Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 drozovs, Yes the upgrade has been announced unofficially at CES and definitely will become available in the spring, around the same time the Z2 is released. I spoke to Ray at Pioneer US Headquarters in Long Beach, CA just last week and he confirmed this with me over the phone. So I heard this firsthand. The upgrade will make a Z1 become a Z2 in all aspects. Kevin Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drozovs Posted January 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Thanks Kevin! Im assuming the upgrade does not include the cost of new maps . David Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whtcrxghst Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 The upgrade is mostly new maps Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Egmont Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 I ordered my Z1 from Abe of Main (yes I know all about it), they have a good price, got the mandatory conformation call where they want to sell you accessories. He then started on a extended warranty for three years for $199.00, which I refused. Then he went to 145.00 and down to $99.00 which I bought including "faster" delivery. Like I said, I ordered 2 days ago and today it is with UPS out for delivery. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
