I had to go through the reprogram process around 10 times before it worked.... it was being VERY finikey with the programming... but it's working now thankfully although I love how they call the orange green wire the "yellow green" wire... when it's clearly orange... only way I caught that was because of their pin out saying that it was yellow/green on pin 3

I've tried pairing smart phones to it to get it to go away, but it still shows it...... probably because I have a phone that's not on the "approved" list of phones....

Just upgraded my old AVIC-Z2 to the 8100 NEX... yeah huge change... but now some questions 1) I keep getting a red bar on top saying connect a smart phone, what if I don't want to? is there anyway to suppress that message? I get it once per startup. 2) I have an ASWC-1 which has been in this car for about 2 years now, worked great with the Z2, but after switching it to the 8100NEX no wheel buttons work... is there anything special needed to be done? It's connected the same exact way it was before... this is a 2008 grand prix base, the orange/green (they say yellow green in the instruc

Any idea on when 2009 map's will be out for the Z Serise?

I have one on ebay right now, brand new... its up to almost $80 though http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... :IT&ih=016

Is there any problems with just doing the $5 HDD Unlock wizard and not the repair station? I have the entire Z3 Acronis True Image Image I dont care about what's on the drive, nothings stored there yet... So if I ran the $5 one and blanked out the drive then restored the TIB image to the drive everything should just work? or do I absoutly have to use the Repair Station unlock and preserve something? Thanks

Oh a friend wanted the Z2 maps because they have a Z1 and roads are missing but Z3's maps have the roads wrong... so they wanted to take their Z1 to a Z2... but we only wanted to tackle it if we could just download it.. thanks anyways!

I know it's old now but does anyone have a torrent up for it or anything that I could download it from? thanks!

Well Pioneer is supose to have these disc's up here soon... for Z-1 and Z-2 users.. anyone have any idea if this does the firmware and software upgrades also or do we still need to do the hard drive upgrade to get that also?

what type of drive did they send you? a standard laptop drive or an automotive drive?

Is there anyone out there that can upgrade my factory hard drive with the Z3 image and guarantee that they will give me the same exact drive back? Already had one joker claim I could send me the drive they'd "upgrade it" to Z3 and send it back... well on ebay their feedback says they dont send the original automotive drive back... which I WANT! I want the low / high temp ability of the drive... 4 degrees above zero to 160 degrees is a major range compared to 41 degrees to 130 degrees (not so great for a car in the winter or summer)... anyone out there that can do this and return the same exact

I'm a Comp Sci person so don't tell me this is too complex for me to do but here is my problem, has anyone did this on a dell system before? All the systems I have are Dell and they all require cable select mode! none work with master/slave you have 2 choices in the BIOS setup for the hard drive controller... OFF or Auto Cable Select... I tried the drive as master on its secondary IDE channel but it didn't detect it at all.. thought wierd... so tried the systems main hard drive in master mode and it wouldn't detect it either... only in Cable select mode would it ever work... so rejumpere

There is a picture somewhere in this forum about how to replace the flex cable, that document also tells you how to take apart the system. Might want to search for that.

Is there any way to tell if the flex needs replaced? I am looking at it right now and dont see any cracks in it. doesit have to actually rip to not work? or is there cases where the wires inside break and you can't really see it?
