I got a call yesterday from Pioneer that the update for the maps for the Z1 will be coming out soon but it was delayed do to other software MODS that they are working on. I asked what she meant she said she was not a programmer but that it would update the software side of the Z1 and not just maps. So I think they know how to lock us out and keep us out. Seeing that no one has been able to break the Z2 yet.... Anyway she said maybe August we will see the update... Sucks....

As with every other update/new product from Pioneer, we won't know till it is released. We can speculate all we want, but only time will tell.

you know a company the size of pioneer should do a better job supporting and updating its customers. They should want loyalty....

Looks like August is the release date for the upgrade disk. This is right from the website....

New disc CNDV-70MP arriving in August!

Be notified when the new discs arrive by signing up on our waiting list.

Just look in the "Upgrade Disks" section....

i think they removed it already.

Do they charge for the update disc? Or will it be free for customers?

Or do I have to hunt it down on the torrent sites when it comes out.

it WILL NOT be free. Also, I dont think a torrent will work this time, because supposedly (not confirmed) we all have to go to an authorized installer, and have them generate a code for us.

It will be 200$ + installer fees

The CNDV70MP is the update disks for the N and D series, not the Z series

^^ Word...

This delay is pretty concerning. Still, I'm not stoked about the upgrade. It will kill the current bypass anyway so I probably wont end up using it.

update manual (not yet in English I'm afraid )

Wow I just checked out the link and yes Pioneer already has a web based system to unlock any future updates to prevent pirating!

See! Even I couldn't make that stuff up

I hope you won't need an installer to do this. It will be all self-install including the code via the website. Why should I have to pay an installer a shitload of money to push a disc into the slot and type a code number in?? Its bad enough discs are $250 a set!

In Europe you can just buy the disc, generate the password and self install. According to the update manual, install takes approx 3 hours....

cool. I knew they wouldnt make us go to an installer for something so simple. Great news.... well, minus the bypass

I looked at the Pioneer site and whtcrxghst's comment appears correct. I see no reference to the Z1 in regard to the systems updated by the new update discs.

3 Hours!?...looks like I'm going to have to break out the battery charger.

Reading the manual, it's a 2-phase approach. Fase 1 is updating the maps etc., this takes approx 3 hours. Phase 2 is updating the system software. This takes about 10 minutes.

Again according to the instructions, you can interupt the map updates, where the unit will continue with the update where it left off...

For the system software update to work, you HAVE to be in a specific screen (map screen, displaying your current position) for it to work. This last update procedure must not be interrupted....

So does this mean you can update the maps without updating the software (ie. bypass)?

Possibly, but looking at other threads the US update would actually allow you to continue using the Z1 bypass. However, note that in Europe we do not have this problem . Over here it's enough to simply ground the handbrake wire.....

the update is out,i just got this email.
