the manual list it as working... a pioneer tech said it would work... but everyoen says it does not work right with the z1 and the display is needed//// is that the same case for the z2?

Yes, you need the AXMP8000 too. Not very user-friendly

thats sucky.... i talked to some pioneer tech and hes like oh ya it works like a champ.... i have engine whine with my unit i was hoping to elminate it this way i guess ill try and just swap it then
