I went out to my truck this morning and started it up and looked over and the screen was stuck on the Pioneer splash screen. I tried to cycle the ingnition key a couple of times and even did the master reset and it still locks up on the splash screen. I am getting sound, but none of the other buttons seem to be working except the volume.
Any idea? I do have the bypass done, but its been working for several months since.
No one?
I must have missed your post... sorry about that. You have a known bug with the Z2 firmware. This can be fixed by upgrading the firmware (if the hard drive has not failed). This is free way to try and fix it:

If this does not fix your issue, then you may be looking to replace the hdd (I don't think it's the hdd that failed).

I just found this in another thread a little while ago and have downloaded it. I'll try it out tomorrow and hopefully that takes care of the issue. Thing is that it's been fine since I did the bypass almost a year ago.
The freeze up issue does not come up right away, and it does not have anything to do with the bypass. Pioneer blames it on "heat" issues, but I think it has to do with the system using up temp space on the hdd causing it to lock up. that is why it only happens after a long time, but once it starts, it will continue until you fix it.

That makes sense then. Thanks for the replies.
okay so it appears now that i am having simliar issue...
it started last weekend with the inability to use the hard keys on the bottom nor the touch screen.... but it would fade in/out... after a while i would be able to, but then it would almost go immediately back to being inoperable.,.. Stuff like the map screen just shooting off in a westward direction all by itself... and/or when trying to enter an address it would select various numbers or selections all by itself... kinda like someone was touching the screen.
At any rate, now i am at the point where there is an address in the GPS which i can not cancel, and that is awfully annoying.... and cant do anything but change volume...
NOW in full discloser, i have had the Z1 for apprx 3 years and havent had this issue until this past weekend...
SO is this firmware the fix i need? and how do i install? just burn onto disk and load into player?
maybe i should look at the link provided... going there now... in lieu of that, any help/input/suggestions/confirmation(s) are appreciated.
pls thx

I would try a couple of things. First would be a level 1 reset, followed by level 2 and 3. If you do not need to dave any data on the drive, go for level 4 reset. The reset procedure are in the manual. Then i would try the firmware update. Keep us posted.
doing a firmware update- will that put me in a position where i will not be able to take advantage of the ducati lockout device...or IOW will it become inoperable?
pls advise.

Yes. You will need to do the 2 wire bypass for full functionality after a firmware upgrade.
Doing resets will not effect your bypass.
did you fix it?
firmware didnt take... it ended up not being a problem after about 2-3 days...was good for a cweekor so,then back to not working again
I think it is the ribbon cable perhaps, ie maybe loose connection, or cracked wire in ribbon causing it to go in/out from time totime....also notice if it is over 40* it has no trouble-
so could very well be the ribbon or some connection thereof

Hi... I have exact same issues for a year+ now... Imagine how annoying it has been...haha wen it does occasionally boot up it's hit or miss....sometimes it works like normal for a short period of time n sometimes my library jumps songs like a mofo..... I'm goin' to try the update firmware.... One question to the pros that have tried it..... After performing this firmware does everything get deleted? Songs pics etc etc? I just wanna know if it the memory will store or will I be workin with a clean hdd? Ideally I would like to keep my songs that's why I ask.... Please fil me in so I can start on the update
many thanks
You do not lose your data during a firmware upgrade.
U r awesome!!!! I've been waitin years for that simple answer.... Thanks a lot...!!!
Does anyone still have a link to the firmware update that is not dead? The pioneer site no longer shows that update. 404 error
