On the Z1 is there a way to turn it off while the engine is running? I've tried everything I can think of soo far but it seems like once the engine is on that the unit is on for good. Is there any way to manually just turn it off so that the screen and buttons and everything are just totally off while driving? The closest I've found is getting a black screen by turning it to A/V mode... Am I missing something or has no one ever wanted to turn the unit off before? heheh.

I don't own a Z1 yet but have always had Pioneer headunits for the last 15 years...

Have you tried to hold the "source" button for a few seconds?

sorry...just looked at a picture and it doesn't have a source button

MY BAD

well, you can do two things

go into the source menu by pressing the squarish icon on the top left corner of the audio screen, press off, then press and hold the v button. this is the closest to 'everything off' as your going to get
