Pioneer AVIC-Z1 Install

[f5fstop]

I have full range of volume control, from nothing to blow your ears (and speakers).
You can use the low level outputs from the radio; however, you will have to use adapters and not sure what would happen if the signals went through the adapter.
They are lower level outputs, but it appears it does not affect the Monsoon amp.

No, it is just another AE spreading sh*t and screwing around with decent threads.
If we are lucky, her crabs will finish her off some night.

I am new to this and need much help, I want to install a in-dash DVD player, but do not want a Nav or camera. It seems to be that Pioneer has this market locked in. What unit has been used and fits without major work. Is the AVIC-Z1 my only choice?
Thanks

[f5fstop]

You might want to start a new thread since the AVIC-Z1 is a NAV player. As for the install, it would be almost identical if a double din unit.

F5 you are unreal. Great technical reference for when ready for Nav!

Nice installation and the installation details are great.

Does this unit identify the radio station info that is being broadcast?
Can you play a DVD while driving (if you've already spoken about this I missed it)?
Will Ipod video play thru the unit (I'm guessing yes, but have no experience with the setup)?

Thanks again for the details...

Can you play a DVD while driving (if you've already spoken about this I missed it)? Never tried it, but the Z1 bypass I installed allows a DVD to play while driving, and to also bypass the point of interest lockout while driving.
Will Ipod video play thru the unit (I'm guessing yes, but have no experience with the setup)? Not sure about video, it will play an ipod with another adapter.
Thanks again for the details...

According to the box for the AVIC-Z1 there is not camera included. I know pioneer makes a rear mount camera that can be purchased extra. Is that the one you went with.

By the time you buy all parts it appears that this is going to cost aroun $1800.00 There is no way I can install it myself so I'll have to pay for the installation. Any guess at what that should run? I am your typical soccer mom and have no mechanical skills whatsoever but don't want to get ripped off as some dealership sees a woman and just sees $$$$$$$$$.

Thanks, mstgvic

F5,
Have ordered the avic-d2 which has 6.5" rather than your 7" screen. Question, do you think it will need to be shimmed up to appear normal in the opening. Your picures look like the 7" is a good fit. Have not recieved it yet to hold in place but wondering your wise opinions

I have the D1, same as the D2, and it fits great.

Hummer Nubie,

Sorry for the late response, but never noticed this thread opened up again.

Yes, I went with the Pioneer camera, but almost any auto camera should work.

WPAGE:
can't say the D2 install would be the same, but I would guess it would be. The wires from the rear of the unit should be the same, interface should be the same, only difference is the Z1 may need some wires changed around to bypass the system.
You can find information on the bypass on www.avic411.com, under Z1 threads.

Between the D1 & D2, yes. They are the same unit, just updated software.

hey, kinda off topic, were the D1s upgradable via software to D2 or would one have to purchase the D2 unit upgraded?

The reason im asking is because there is a rumor about Z2, so im truing to figure out if the Z1s we got could be upgraded to Z2 via software.

Thanks.

FWIW - I upgraded my N2 to an N3 just by putting in a newer map disk. The user interface and maps anyways.

There are rumors there will be a Z2 sometime in the future, and there are rumors there will be an update for the Z1 to cure some of its problems; hopefully, bluetooth. But nothing to say the update will make the Z1 a Z2.
Big rumor is the Z2 may operate on a Windows type platform to allow communication between a laptop and the Z2.

The D2 is a S/W upgrade.
