I have an iphone4 so I can't speak to the 5. Did you install the appradio app from the appstore and launch it?

Been a member since the avic-z1 days and even posted the first bypass instructions on pulsing the illumination wire (I didn't discover it, read it on the12volt, but just happened to be the first to relay the info here.) Been inactive for quite a while but checked in to see what tricks were available for my z110. Read in the instructions and followed them without issue other than the "radio error" so I disconnected the msn traffic receiver and all was good to go. I must say the appradio feature is far more valuable, to me anyway, than the map updates. It's like an entirely new head unit and far

Checked the connections again. All is ok but still no xm. Also updated to latest firmware. Anyone?

Cables are in correct order. Unit was working fine, then just stopped.

All, Intalled my z120 yesterday with MSN, HD radio tuner and xm920 module. All was working fine, XM and HD Radio. Today randomly the XM went out. I pulled the XM module out and disconnected it. HD radio comes back. I swapped the 920 module with my old 10xmt module, same issue, HD Radio disappears. Unplug it HD radio comes back. Here's the odd part, if I just plug in the IPBUS cable to the xm module, HD radio stays on screen, as soon as I attach power to the xm module (either 920 or 10xmt) the HD Radio and XMRadio icons disappear. In none of the scenarios does XM show up anymore. Do I have

Thanks! Attached is the nzb for anyone who's interested. z3_2009.zip

From everything I've seen, nothing. You should be able to hook it up and have decent functionality. What I find interesting, is with an optional cable you can hook your ipod up to this device. I wonder if it navigates faster than the primary ipod adapter. http://www.crutchfield.com/p_130CDUB100 ... ailed_info *edit* actually, according to some of the reviews it only displays 8 characters http://www.crutchfield.com/p_130CDUB100 ... tab=review I can't tell though it those are screen based units or single din non-nav units. But for $30, it's worth a try.

Thanks. I took the whole dash frame off and it still won't open. looks like I'll need it serviced.

Just curious if anyone else has had problems with the motorized screen not coming down? I really wasn't too concerned at first as I never use the dvd drive (mainly listen to XM and iPod) but I now want to do the z3 upgrade. Before I yank the unit and send it in for warranty I thought I'd ask if anyone else has any suggestions for troubleshooting. The screen will occassionally work, but for the most part pushing eject yields nothing.

I have a Z2 installed in multiple vehicles. Both are running what's called Simple Mode with no VSS. The only issues I have is when I am going up an down the hills where I am located, my position is off the road due to sat signal loss. With the following observations stated... Question: With the VSS connected it is only going to simulate your driving based on the last position in a straight line and your speed, if you make a turn the VSS does not help you. Would this be a true statement? Thanks. The unit has a gyroscope built into it so it can detect turns, uphills, down hillis, s

this sounds like a pretty good idea..please post your results! thanks! You should replace it with text that says "LoJack Tracking..." lol.

If you are somewhat technical, this really isn't that hard. In addition, when this method came out, the upgrade DVD's were extremely hard to come by.

ahh that makes sense.

btw, you *might* be able to find an adapter for it here: http://www.pc-mobile.net/gpsant.htm I *think* its this one http://www.pc-mobile.net/gacb2x.jpg but by no means take my word for it. Confirm the connector before buying.

According to this thread: http://www.mp3car.com/vbulletin/gps/753 ... nna-2.html it can be done how you mentioned, but you will kill some onstar functionality unless you splice them together...and I have no idea if that would even work.
