Hi all

I got new Avic Z2 system, Sorry for the noob questions.

How can I load mp3's into its internal HDD?

Is it possible to replace the blue theme color for menus?

Is it possible to bypass the system without wiring? Just use cd for bypassing?

Thank you very much!

Welcome!

 

You can not rip MP3's to the HDD. Standard CD's only.

No ther 'themes" for menus.

No, you must do the 2 wire bypass for full functionality while driving.

Thank you for the fast response,

 

While searching the net I found available upgrades for the Z2:

Is it a Hoax? Or it's possible to upgrade the the systems firmware & maps?

 

 

 

I found the recording info in the manual, thank you again for your help.

Recording a CD manually

You can record only your favorite tracks in the CD.

1 [REC Mode] is set to [Manual]. âž² “Setting the CD recording mode” âžž Page 158

The REC Mode cannot be changed during recording.

2 Play back the track you want to record.

3 Touch [REC].

The track being played is recorded.

When recording finishes, the system returns to the normal playback screen of the CD in the end of the track.

To cancel the recording, touch [Stop].

The difference between the Z1, Z2 and Z3 is only software/firmware, not hardware.

So any Z1 or Z2 can be updated to a Z3, with latest maps etc.

I will give you a small piece of advice. Stay away from eBay for doing anything to your unit. Once you buy something, you got no help if something goes wrong.

 

If you want to update/upgrade your unit, Mr. Garret Toomey is the SOURCE for all things AVIC. He has some services that you can do and he WILL help you if anything goes wrong, and prices are awesome. PM him any questions you may have, he is #2 in this thread.

 

I am a repeat customer of Garret's and he in no way asked me to endorse him in anyway.
