I HAD A AVIC Z1 IN MY LAST CAR AND NOW I AM THINKING ABOUT THE Z2 IN MY NEW ONE. BECAUSE OF THE BETTER NAV, BUT DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY THE Z1 WAS RECALLED, AND WHAT DO THEY PLAN TO DO? I KNOW THE UNIT HAD PROBLEMS HERE AND THERE BUT NO UNIT IS PERFECT, I LOVED IT, ANY INFO?

I don't believe the Avic Z1 is recalled. If it was I have heard nothing of it. If you have a new article or link to pioneer's web site explaining these claims you are making I would love to read them.

Ummm, I would check your sources on that bit of info.

 

I can't find anything on a Z1 recall.

maybe he is confused since the Z1 has been discontinued, not recalled. the Z2 is the newest model.

WELL WHAT I DO KNOW IS THAT I JUST QUIT MY JOB OF AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND THE REP SAID IT WAS RECALLED AND I ALSO FOUND SOME SMALL ARTICALS ON THE INTERNET SAYING THAT AS WELL. BUT I HAVE NOT SEEN ANYTHING ON PIONEERS WEBSITE, BUT I DUNNO I WOULD IMAGINE IF THE REP OF PIONEER STATES IT THAN ITS TRUE... BUT I DUNNO I KNOW LITTLE ABOUT THIS TOPIC

it isnt and wasnt recalled. they just stopped production of it as the new year model has been released, which is the z2. so lets go ahead and let this thread end with the rumor squashed. enjoy

Were the "ARTICALS" printed in all caps?

What doesn't make sense is why Pioneer would say that an update disk will be available which will turn a Z1, essentially, into a Z2, and then turn around and recall the Z1.

 

However, if they want to take my Z1 and send me a Z2 instead, I won't say no (I might wait until there is a bypass leaked/found, tho' :) ).

In case you missed the other 5 posts or so, it wasn't recalled.

Nah, I didn't miss it. Just pointing out how you could figure out that it wasn't recalled without "confirmation" from Pioneer.

Ummm how could someone say it HAS been recalled if no printed statements or press releases say so? You think an item can be recalled, and noone whatsoever notified, Pioneer just thinking "Hey, let's do a word of mouth recall! No need to issue public statements!"

I didn't say it had been recalled. Guess I was just adding to the argument that it hadn't been recalled. I suppose since none of us has heard of a recall we can definitely be sure that it hasn't been. Sorry to waste your time.

We should lock this thread since there is no recall... IMO
