i was wondering whom has the best update package and why cant you exceed 400 albums/artists?

which is the fastest?

i should be buying a z1 with ipod adapter today for 700. good deal?

Not sure about the hard drive stuff, but I just bought a Z1 with Sirius, XM w/NavTraf, TV Tuner, Bluetooth, and iPod Modules for $500 from a guy on a Toyota Forum. Not sure you are getting the best deal, but who knows. Maybe this guy is just hard up for money?!

And before anyone says "Stolen!" - He has the original box and manual and all that Maybe he got it from the back of a Semi?! Lets hope not.

BTW - 1st post for me! Glad a great forum like this exists!

I have great upgrade options. Check my ad by clicking the link in my sig bleow. Also check the Z forums, as I have an excellent reputation on avic411.

been looking for it for 500 but cant seem to get one over here in nyc.

garret can u answer my question as to which is the fastest hd? and the topic of the limitation of albums/artists.

The fastest drive that will work in the Avic Z is a 5400 RPM Toshiba PATA drive. The 400 album/artist limitation is established by the Pioneer database that tracks the music locations on the hard drive. The stock drive will hold about 160 full cd's. That is the reason that Pioneer set the limit so low. They never assumed that anyone would be able to add more music. With a 60gb drive, you will be able to hold the full 400 albums with room to spare.

pm me price for the 60gb hd with shipping to 11378 area code.

overnight sounds good! your ad says 145.

does it also unlock it so u can watch a dvd while u drive?

also any advice as to how to see if it works im going tonight to see the unit anyway i can power it up? its out of a car.

You found the pricing in my ad. The drive is unlocked so that it can be connected to a PC, but you will still have to perform the 2 wire bypass if you want video and full nav functions while driving. The unit can be powered up by using a battery + to the Yellow and Red wires, and - to the black wire.

what kind of battery?

Car battery, or a really big power converter. Jumper cables will work, just be really careful.

lol i dont think the guy would let me do that.. problem is this guy is off craigslist because every ebay auction i seem to not win from last second buyers. he said it works and theres no scratches on it..
