I just installed the FTP image with the new part 1....no problems!!! Thanks to everyone. 
I didn't use the entire image, instead I used the instructions provided to maintain my music and settings from my old Z2 image and just applied the new maps and software partitions. This was all done on the original Z1 unit. Oh yeah, no reboots from voice command. Hopefully everything stays stable. 
Thanks again! Just put HD back in. Got it from FTP, redownloaded new part 1. Works like a charm. I just did the first 2 partitions so I could keep my music and settings. No issues with voice command on booting. Went from z1 to z2 now z3. Thanks 
so pretty much the mega upload image is a fail for voice command
The second software partition on the mega image has 365MB of data and the partition on the FTP is 428MB of data. This is where the problem lies i believe.

Whatever, no use in wasting time trying to figure it out. I removed it from the first post.
FTP - This will be very fast...
Holy crap, no kidding! I'm getting 9.3mbs down!
So, FTP d/l finished in about 3 hours. Waited for a lunch break to drop it onto the Z1's HDD (took about 20 minutes) and took it to the car.
Thank god my Franken-Z (Z1, upped to Z2, upped to Z2/Z3 Mash-Up) took the firmware update and is now a true Z3. Voice commands work perfectly (not that I use them).
Current versions:
VERSION: 03.0000
CDDB: 07-01-0030
PLATFORM: 3.000100
GPS PROGRAM: 1.200000
HDD APPLICATION: 3.100200
Wait a minute... The FTP Z3 image has the old CDDB? lol. At least that can be updated.
wow thats crazy with grace note
here for lazy ppl
Waiting for a new Toshiba HDD to load the new Z3 image.

Nope, threw mine on an 80GB Toshiba today. Working like a champ.
So with the bigger harddrive, do you have extra space for songs I assume. I am just nervous messing with the components. If I buy an 80 gig will someone upload the program for me? Or I will even just pay someone to get the 80 gig for me. Thanks for my ignorance...I just dont wanna mess up my system.

Has anyone noticed if the voice commands are better recognized by the system with the Z3 update applied? I know on the Z2, no matter where my mic is, it's sometimes a pain to get it to understand me. I hope this was somewhat improved (at the least) with the Z3.
And I would test this myself but I don't have a spare hdd lying around... yet.

I think Pioneer only gives you 30 gigs for music, regardless of the size of your drive.

Nothing appears to have improved. In a nutshell, the bitch understands the basic commands that are listed on the screen and as far as understanding anything else: Your chances of winning the lottery are better.
I D/L the image from megapath and i have a Z1 that was upgraded last year to Z2 and now Z3 with this image and I can confirm that when hitting the voice command button my unit reboots.
I am currently D/L the image from the FTP and will try with that next.
The map update from megaupload is GOOD . You just have to redo the second partition (SData).
so witch image is good and were

the only one you're currently able to download
I have completed the upgrade walkthrough. This will show you how to upgrade your exisiting avic-z hard drive to the latest maps and software while retaining your existing music library and phonebook.
Hi,
I heard that you have a Z3 image cloned on the HDD, helping AVIC411 by selling them at cost. Do you still have any? If so, can I have the specs of the HDD, I mean size/speed/brand? Please advice, how do you prefer to make this transaction.
Thanks for your help!

Someone should be able to send you the files for that partition only (SData, right?). It's only a few hundred MB rather than 10 gig. I had to do the same thing... huge waste of bandwidth.
I'd collect the files myself, but don't have access to the resources at the moment. Anyone else want to step up to the plate and offer a "megaupload fix"?
What version of Acronis Home. I've got 10, but it says the FTP image is corrupt. The file sizes are correct and done in binary mode. I'm working on getting 11, just wondering.

Worked fine with both 10 and 11 for me
I posted the torrent link in the first post. Those who have grabbed the image from the FTP/HTTP, please help seed!
