GPS, screen and bootup

Need help with the following please.

Finally got the Z2 installed and loving it except for the following problems I had today:

Drove to work, logged it in as favorite on my GPS.

Left work and when I started the car the Z2 started up but remained on the splash screen - no matter what button I hit, nothing happened. I could change volume but that was it. Hit the reset button and it finally came back. When it came back up, I was on the freeway and yet my location on the map was some other weird route no where near the freeway. It tooks some time before it "synched" to where I was.

1 - Stuck at splash screen - has this happened to anyone and what is the solution?

2 - GPS not synching - need advice

3 - Boot up - it seems to take long to boot up - what is the normal bootup time?

 

Please help.

Thanks for the info - I will download the update and try it out - I did do the bypass on it but I have checked the version and it is Ver 2. The update does say to do it if you have V2.

As for the time it takes to load - well I just timed it and it seemed quicker than earlier on - perhaps because it was hanging (takes 35 seconds from the time the unit is on untill the splash screen goes away)

 

One last thing - is there a way to turn off the unit while the car is on?

Finally - after wasting 3 disks, I managed to get the update loaded - will check it out tomorrow - hopefully it will be ok.

I know it sucks but no you can't.You can put a switch on the red(acc) wire to cut it off.

You can turn the AV source off, and you can turn the display off. You can not turn the GPS unit off.

Thought so, I figured out how to turn off the AV and display but was just wondering about the whole unit itself.
