Ill seed it tonight

Thanks Garret. I used the hdd I upgraded to last year from you, connected it to my PC, followed your directions and all is well.

I have a laptop and used a usb to serial connection. Since the hdd was unlocked I didn't have to borrow anyone's desktop. Copying the two sections using Acronis True Image was simple. Since it is the new version, I couldn't set it up to do it automatically back to back. Nevertheless, it worked like a charm. Thanks again!!!

When I get home I will set it up to seed again.

Hey,

sorry If I ask again but, is it useless if I install this image on my avic hd3? Im from germany, so the US maps wont be the right thing for me. I dont know if this are the US Maps or Europe or something else.

I just did the upgrade, thanks to all who posted. My questions revolves around the Gracenote upgrade. I took my Z2 to a Z3 with 2010 maps. Did Garrett's pack have the new Gracenote updates them?

If no, I need to install the firmware upgrade from Pioneer first, before doing the upgrade to the Gracenote stuff, correct?

If you have one of my drives, you do NOT install the pioneer firmware, just update as normal. I config always includes the newest gracenotes available at the time of shipping.

thanks,

I just updated my Z1 by following the guide. Thanks!

My only issue is that now it appears my address book, POI and all related selections are greyed out and unelectable? Am I missing something here? Kind of defeats the purpose of GPS if I can't enter a route.

Thanks in advance!

You must have been using a flasher bypass? You need to either 1) connect the parking brake wire to the parking brake, or 2) do the 2 wire bypass.

I did not purchase one of your drives, but did downloaded the torrent and used the Unlocker disk. I'm assuming this means I need to do the firmware upgrade, then the Gracenote.

Thanks! I will try this today. I was not using the flasher method before, but I agree something must have had it bypassed. I am unsure of the wiring as I purchased the car with the head unit installed. I do know that the parking brake must not be connected as I can't access the menus even when the brake is up.

Any thoughts?

You will only need the Gracenotes update, and NOT the firmware.

You definately had some type of flasher bypassed installed. You would actually see the lights flash, but the head unit would 'think' that you flashed the lights in order to bypass. Either connect the light green to your parking brake for standard install, or follow the 2 wire bypass directions. good luck.

I have a new hard drive, as I believe the partitions? please help

Hello,I have a 60 GB hard drive,How to create the partitions?, Is there any manual? Can you help me please ..thanks you.

You have to have a working image of a good drive. The image will contain the correct partitions.

After finally getting around to taking out the head unit I notice two things.

First you were correct about the auto flasher. The previous owner had one installed which is why I wasn't even aware of the bypass issue. Second, the two additional connectors required for the two wire bypass are missing entirely. I got in touch with the manufacturer and can order them at about $40 a pop. The question is can I simply order the one connector that you add the additional wire in and ground that with the parking brake wire leaving out the 'donor' connector entirely? I would take a wire from another socket on 'connector 2' as I will never use it anyways. Is 'connector 1' needed at all? I don't want to order both if I can avoid it.

Also, can I do the two wire ground method while leaving the auto flasher in? This would make life a lot easier if that would work.

Thanks in advance!

Yes, just order the 1 connector.

Yes, you can leave the flasher installed.
