hi

i ordered a avic-z2 on ebay..

i just got it..

i tryed to test it on a POWER PACK *(like a battry booster )*

i hooked 12V and the Switched 12V on the +

and hooked the Hand Brake Wire with the Ground Wire on the negative..( the handbrake wire is To bypass the protection on the screen while in motion).

So..

It powered On and it show pioneer in red on a Blue Background...

i CAN'T Press any button and press the screen... It always stay on the pioneer picture.

I Can tilt the screen to Put a DVD OR CD but it does not read it..

So there is my problem...

THere is a Wire that it need to be hooked that i did not do? I want to test my unit..

THANKS ALOT ...I HOPE you will help me!!

Sounds like you hooked it up right.

Is your power pack fully charged? Are you waiting long enough? It may take a minute for it to fully boot.

My Z2 that I bought from eBay wouldn't boot when I got it either. I ran the most recent Z2 update and that fixed it. You might give that a shot.

 

Download Firmware Update

 

For some reason, the update wouldn't fully load on mine. It would go to 99% and then go into a reboot loop saying, "Updating System" and "System Update Failed". I had to go into the Service Menu and select "Force update system" and force it to update the flash, then everything worked great.
