I was just browsing through the AVIC-Z Series service manual and I noticed that there is a setting in the service menu that says: HDD shipping flag setting. I wonder if this could have anything to do with drives rebooting that are not toshiba or any other non-oem drive that is inserted. I searched the forum and saw no mention of this menu so I was just wondering if anyone has investigated it.
It is on Page 2 of the service menu, under Mode Setup
This is from the service manual:
3-9(4-9). HDD shipping flag setting
• Set HDD to the shipping status. Contents of HDD will not be damaged.
• Push down "MAP" key, and HDD shipping flag setting (HDD mode change) will start.
• After setting HDD shipping flag, use [AV] key to go back to the main menu.
How to get to Service Menu:
Fold the screen down by hitting the eject button on the front. Make sure there is no disc in the unit. Once the screen is down press and hold the inner EJECT BUTTON while taking a small pin and pressing the small RESET BUTTON on the front panel. You will see "Push Reset button or Restart Engine" at this time release the EJECT BUTTON.
Enter the following password sequence:
P. List Up
P. List Up
P. List Down
P. List Down

Service Menu Will Appear, Hit the outter face close eject button and you will be in service menu.
Use arrows to move between options and pages, use AV for back button, and use T for enter button. To exit push reset button or turn car on and off.
