Avic Z1/Z2 firmware upgrade

I know this is old and may even be a repost of sorts, but I just found out about it today.

There is a patch out for the Z1/Z2 that will correct a lock-up problem. Reportedly, the units will lock up due to heat. I'm not sure it's a heat problem since it happened to my wife's Z2 today and it was *MAYBE* 60 degrees when it happened.

Anyway, the units will power up, play, and you can control the sound via the audio controls/ steering wheel remote (if you have one), but the display will only show the boot up splash screen.

If you are having similar issues, there is a patch to download from Pioneer as well as instructions on how to install it. It can be found here:

Z1/Z2 firmware update

I have a D2 in my truck and haven't experienced any of these issues, so it looks to be a Z1/Z2 problem only.

Yes this is old news but if you just found out its ok. Pioneer emailed me the link for the firmware and installed months ago. So far so good.
