so has anyone had success with the CD-SR1 remote and the Z2? What is the trick?

Check the battery. And put it on the right side of your steering wheel

I have always wondered where the IR sensor is...on the remote and on the AVIC.

 

Any ideas? LOL!

the battery is good, it is a brand new unit. have you been able to use it with a Z2?

It may use RF.

I use it all the time with my Z2 (that is when the unit is not too hot). Yes, it does need to be on the right side of my steering wheel. The IR sensor on the Z2 is between the 'V' and 'Vol' buttons.

so you didnt have to do anything fo the radio to recognize the remote? i wonder if i got a bad remote

you probably just have a dead bettery, mine also came with a small piece of plastic between the battery and the connector so that battery wouldn't go dead in the box.. maybe that is still there or it came out, letting you battery go dead.

It doesn't. It's ir. The problem is if the sun is shining directly on the avic, the sunlight will block the ir signal from the remote.
