For Customers using AVIC-Z2 or AVIC-Z3:

The other operations are essentially the same as those at the time you purchased the hardware. Use the Operation Manual included in the hardware package as your primary reference.

You can reintall your old drive and it will downgrade back to the 2008 Z3 maps/software.

The 2 wire bypass still works fine.

Maybe Garrett will post the drive image with the map update installed and save us all 120 bux I personally like the newsgroup idea w/supporting .nzb for hosting but might be too high tech for some...

I'm not entirely sure what you are talking about, but if i can figure it out, I'm down!

Please be patient.

have u noticed any flaws or issues with the 2009 map updates? have noticed some good improvements on the way the system gets you from 1 place to another with the new maps? or is it about the same when the 2008 maps where applied??

I am only noticing new roads, but I don't drive the vehicle with the Z3...

Can't wait to see the new image hosted somewhere.

Any volunteers to host it?

I helped host it last time and the demand was huge. I am trying to think of other possible alternatives.

Maybe we could use something like http://www.filedropper.com to host the pieces. It runs pretty damn fast.

what about a torrent?

what kind of demand was there? I found a hoster and have the ftp info, but he is asking what kind of traffic it will see

Last year it was about 10T over a couple of months... It's ALOT of traffic.

How about like rapidshare or netload?

DO NOT POST OR SHARE THIS OUTSIDE OF AVIC411.

You can download the torrent file here:

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=UNBVL5S1

The file you download above will give your torrent client the information it needs to download the image.

Torrent is file sharing, so if you download the 8.31gb file, you need to commit to uploading atleast 8.31gb. If you are not willing or able to seed it, then DON'T download it. That is the only way to make it work. It will probably take a couple of days to DL and a couple of weeks to UL.

To install the image on the drive, all the details are in the sticky post in Hack/Mods:

viewtopic.php?f=20&t=9446

Also see the attached PDF.

Do not ask questions that have already been answered in the sticky posts. Search and read before you post.

PLEASE DO NOT PM ME FOR PERSONAL TECHNICAL SUPPORT REGARDING THIS UPGRADE. I MONITOR THE FORUMS.
