Avic Z1 question
Does anyone know if they make a surround sound processor for this unit? I love the way it sounds but surround sound would make it awesome. Thanks.

well - kind of ..
It will not work unless you get the controller with it ...
Made the mistake ... had a customer who loved the Z1 -- wanted the added processor ...
did all the work ...
Then ..
NADDA ...
Pioneer then says, ohh- you need the controller to go with it .. and then you'll have to use it for all the functions ..
Took it all out ... and Promptly shipped it back to them- for credit ..
Lying dirtbags ..

I heard with the illumination hooked up, turn the headlight switch on and off 3 times, while in the loading screen immediately after turning on the ignition, and it will bypass the safety feature to watch video... heard any thing about that?
I know it's off topic, but since we are talking about the Z1's...

I ordered the AVIC-Z1 but haven't gotten it put in yet so will have to try that trick when I get it!

Yes it is true -
I also carry a part that does it with out having to flip the lights on /off.
It does depend on the build date - before July/06 no problem ...
After July/06 you need this part ..
simple 4 wire hook up

I have bought this unit as well. Hopefully by December everything will be finished.
On the bypass part, how much do you sell them for...I have seen them on ebay.
