ajgonzales Posted May 12, 2007 Report Share Posted May 12, 2007 My Z1 plays normally in AM, FM, and iPod modes... but in Library mode, the volume is really low and staticky. The beeps are really low in volume too. CD mode is the same way. Any ideas on what the problem could be? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ducatiboy Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Works in AM/FM and Ipod but not the others? You sure ipod works? My first guess cause a lot of people have this issue is that you have amps in the car and they are not being turned on due to the fact they were hooked to the power antenna and not the amp turn on signal. This usually manifests itself as no sound at all, but it's possible with no power the amp just sounds like crap and there is no amplification. Go into the sound AV settings then system settings and and look for auto antenna and it should be settable to all the time or just radio, switch it to all the time and see if everything else works better. But Ipod should not work if I'm right, but maybe it doesn't work as well as you think. This is a long shot but it's super easy to test and is a very common problem.

ajgonzales Posted May 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 The iPod mode definitely works perfectly. The AVIC-Z1 was dealer installed, and there aren't any aftermarket amps. I'll check the AV settings in the morning Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ducatiboy Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 Not aftermarket amps, sometimes some vehicles have amps in the car from the factory and need to be turned on to work correctly. It's possible, you didn't list the car it was in and what I mentioned was a very common problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ajgonzales Posted May 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 I guess I failed to mention some crucial info. It's a 2007 4Runner, and everything was working fine before I installed the iPod adapter yesterday. I will check all my connections again today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted May 13, 2007 Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 JBL system in there? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ajgonzales Posted May 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2007 No, I'm almost positive it just had the base system in it. The dealer installed the Z1 before my parents took delivery of it. I sold the factory head unit for them on eBay a while back, and it didn't have anything that said JBL on it, and neither do the speaker grilles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ducatiboy Posted May 14, 2007 Report Share Posted May 14, 2007 Well, did you try pressing that button and seeing if that fixed your problem? I know you are answering lots of stuff about your truck... but it's a 5 minute without tools. Did you try it.? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ducatiboy Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Super high voltage and some messed up sound? Sounds like it's time to ship it back to Pioneer for repair. Reporting 265 volts is not right. So it's either a problem with the vehicle or the Z1 (or the installation of the Z1). Most likely sounds like a Z1 problem. If there is a sound problem in some modes and not others, that's limited to the Z1 (unless it works in AM/FM and no where else). And with the high voltage, sounds like it's time to send it to the experts at pioneer for repair. Other than that, I got nothing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
action Posted May 30, 2007 Report Share Posted May 30, 2007 Reporting 265 volts is not right. Although wouldn't that be great? You could bring your dryer with you when you went camping! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
