About how many seconds is it before it's booted up? And does that mean it can't play music for that long, or just nav?

After a few seconds my radio comes on, but it probably takes about 30 secodns or so for it to fully boot. If I'm going somewhere that I need to program the nav for to begin with chances are it's going to be a long trip anyway and the extra minute will not effect me.

it will play anything but the libary (of course) about 2-3 seconds after u start up, but a full boot is about 60-90 seconds..

today i tried XM, Sirius,and even TV will all play moment key is started.. others work after boot up.. maby needs a firmware update..

Are you able to change channels on the radio or Sat radio before it's booted, or do you only get to hear what it was previously tuned to? Is nav the only feature that isn't available until 60-90 seconds? I wonder if it's just the GPS waiting to acquiring satellites?

I am glad someone showed me this site, i was getting ready to return mine because it take 30sec+ to boot up i thought there was something wrong with it.
Does anyone know why or if they are going to fix it? I assumed that it might be the HD spinning up or some thing but i had a D1 before and it would come on instantly and that has nothing to do with the source of Software so why is the Z1 so slow?

By the way hello from the FNG :D

I'm fairly certain that the difference between boot up times from the D1 to the Z1 is the fact that the Z1 has a HDD & th OS is stored there, rather than being read off of the discs the way the D1 did it.

What the OS for the D1? Z1 is Windows Mobile and almost anything from Microsoft is slow....

I think there are some guys here who determined it is NOT using Windows Mobile.
