what is with this password people are talking about with generating? Is that for people burning it on the cd? I thought you take out the HD if you already upgraded before say z1 to z3 with maps and just put the image on directly. will i lose my audio settings like the custom EQ? I know you can just upgrade your maps and keep your music albums still there.
also why would someone want to remove the copyright on the splash screen? If you already have a aftermarket unlocked HD and just need to copy a new image on there. how does one do that if hey have SATA HD, do you just unplug the CDROM drives that are IDE and plug in the HD? you can copy from SATA to IDE HD? I forgot how i did this when i did my z1 to z3
Check the sticky post at the top of this forum for upgrade instructions.
G35 Mass,
Just to let you know that your last uploads worked great...No problems extracting or converting...I only changed the two DATA folders which saved all my settings, screens, music etc. 
I'll test further today but all should be fine.
Thanks again
Henryj

Is this one of our trusted AVIC 411 folks? For cost, seems a better alternative than just buying the update disc.
It's not me. You may want to confirm the HDD model is MK6034GAX.
ok my HD was unlocked and the security was removed from the previous upgrade. With that said I've connected my HD via a USB hard drive enclosure. I can see and browse all of the folders on the Z3 HD but I'm having trouble getting this thing upgraded. Can I upgraded this way using USB? I take it that I can b/c I tried to replace the LDATA folder with virgin1 but it wants to start with virgin13, so I used virgin 13 for the LDATA on the drive. That's the only partition that I updated on the drive and I inserted it back in the the Z3 and it seems to work b/c now the version reads
Version: 04.0000
CDDB Version: 09-01-0020
But I don't see the following, were can I find it? and do I need to update the SDATA partition?
Platform: 3.000200
GPS Version: 1.200000
HDD App Version: 4.000100
ok this is what I have and the interface seems to be moving really fast. I guess I have to do the same steps but choose the SDATA partion and it will upgrade it to the numbers its suppose to be
Version: 04.0000
CDDB Version: 09-01-0020
Platform: 3.000200 mine is 3.000100
GPS Version: 1.200000
HDD App Version: 4.000100 mine is 3.100200
You are correct. You need to overwrite LDAT and SDAT for a complete upgrade.
I figured it out but thanks for a response Garrett
I saw on the pioneer site that there is a cddb update posted on jan-2010.
From what I have been reading the cddb in this is a little older. Can I install this and then run the cddb update disk or will that screw things up?
I have a z1 with the upgrade to z3 (thanks again garrettomy). I also have the bypass and it is all working flawlessly.
I want to update the maps/cddb without messing up the system.
Are there any warnings I should be aware of?
Thanks for everything,
Joe
Yes, you can burn the CDDB update from pioneer's website and install it directly over this update. It will not affect your system.
hello,
the rapidshare links are down. Can anyone get new?
Best regards
