I'm having issues with my z1. Recently I can't access any of the gps menu features that are cut off while driving even when I'm sitting still. Basically the only way I can use the fully functional gps menu is to hit the reset button on the z1 and then flash my lights. Without reseting (rebooting) I am limited to the "return home" button even when parked. What is annoying is then everytime I need to look up an address I lose my radio presets. Have any of you ever heard of this happening? I'm hoping it is something dumb that I can fix without pulling the hu out and sending it to pioneer.

 

It worked fine at one point so I'm confused.

something is wrong with your bypass and your in the wrong post category

Oh my bad. I think things are more organized here than the last time I was on. As far as the issue goes I don't have a bypass installed.

Does the unit show that your parking brake is on when it's applied ?

No it shows the p-brake as off regardless of its possition. The thing that puzzles and annoys me is that without rebooting and flashing my lights I have no functionality from the gps even when I'm sitting still. It has me locked out no matter what unless I reboot and do the flashy.

It sounds like your parking brake wire connection came off . Check the wire at the parking brake switch and the back of the unit . If the unit thinks the P brake is off it will lock you out.

Damn it I thought I got the right forum. It's kinda hard to tell since the list just say s the same thing for all of the different troubleshooting sections...
