Avic Z1/Z2 firmwave updates Instructions..

[Tundrav8yamaha]

There have been a few complaint's about the Z1/Z2 owners about there navigation unit rebooting during driving since it's Hdd Based (harddrive). The problem was first noticed when I received my unit back in Sept 06. I have contacted Pioneer Tech surport and went into a lot of detail resolving the problem. Pioneer has a patch surport and I highly advise Ts member's to receive this Update.

Right now I am helping a Ts member get his Z2 on his crewmax from the same problem's my unit once had. I'll post some picture showing the update's on the Navi screen and what to look for in your service screen menu to insure you have the lastest updates.

Cheer's Erik..

If the manufacture date of your Z2 is after April 07 then you have the latest Firmware with the locking and freezing issues resolved.

depends from Calling tech surport some of those updates didn't apply on a few batches and of coarse they didn't provide a cut off date so Im unsure about April 07 being a guideline.

This is what i found out today

The Z1 will have the fireware patch starting off with a 1.0000 and if this update was applied it would be 1.0500 or something like that.

The Z2 will have the firmware patch starting off with 2.0000 and if this update was applied it would be 2.0700..

This picture just taken now show's the older fireware and will be updated when I receive the patch from Pioneer and apply this to his 2007 Tundra Crewmax.I do know that my Updates which was for a Z1 will not Update the Z2 even thought it does not state that on the manual. I did call Pioneer before i tryed to load the updates and they insured it would work but it didn't and I called back and will be having the Cd sent out to my home and installed on his Crewmax.

Nero should work fine. You could also try the free version of Roxio the defaults seem to work well with all the data disks I created for my Z2

Background images, CDDB...

Be sure you are doing the following:

I can't get my unit to work on the updates just say cd-reading and stops.

I must be doing something wrong on the burning

[Tundrav8yamaha]

this is the errors I get when I burn..

First you need to get to the service info screen. Follow these steps:

Press the “MENU” key
Select the “Settings” tab
Select “Hardware”
Select “Service Info Screen”

You should now see the following screen:


Touch and hold the top left corner of the screen:


Then you will see this new screen pop up and it will show you the software version on your unit:

that doesn't work on Mine try it allready..

Erik


mine show this screen only will Not pop another screen like u suggested???
