Is this the first Pioneer to use Windows shell as the engine? If not, have any of the other units been hacked to access the underlying shell? The reason I ask is because my Magellan has been hacked to show the underlying windows OS and install a DivX player, just curious if this would even be a possibility with the Z1.

Anything is possible, especially with windows. :roll:

However, someone will have to figure out how to read the Z1's HDD.

Perhaps, but on my magellan it was a key suquence to reveal the underlying OS. We can only hope it will be something so simple!

Really? Thats great!
Maybe it's something like the N1/D1 Service Menu.

On the N1, to get to the service menu:

HOLD Eject, Press Reset button.
Screen will go in, and come back out with a black screen and a message about pressing the reset button.
You can releae the Eject button.
Now enter the code using your joystick: UP, Right, UP, Right, Down, Right, Down, Right, then Press in the joystick.

What a coincidence, that's the exact same procedure to get all the weapons in Halo on the xbox. :D
