Uploading images to the Avic-z1

Sometimes the units are really picky about file extentions and whatnot. Try multiple combinations, eg: background.jpg background.JPG background.jpeg background.JPEG I think they have to be in a folder called BG. Also, they don't like to read CD's unless they have a lot of data on them, so throw some random stuff on the CD to get it to at least 250MB. If that dosn't work, you can allways use the pim converter and burn a dvd from www.avic411.com

don't know what happened to the thread about the video feed, but, fyi, my avic-z1 is now playing dvd's while in motion!  :-) it can be done.

Yep, I have also employed this easy method. It really works!

Yeah that Is strange since I had a post of how to do it, now after a week it's gone!! Oh well.

green wire grounded (no connection to e-brake) :start car and at "starting pioneer navigation screen" flicker your lights :you have to hit "okay" to confirm connection is legal :you also have to hit "okay" to confirm the e-brake isn't properly connected :the dvd will then play regardless of the position of the e-brake :you can switch in between navi, dvd, am/fm, and library green wire properly connected to e-brake :e-brake must be off :start car and at "starting pioneer navigation screen" flicker your lights :you have to hit "okay" to confirm connection is legal :the dvd will not play if e-brake is engaged and then released (must restart car and redo the whole process in order to get dvd w/o e-brake on) :you can switch in between navi, dvd, am/fm, and library when i say "flicker", it means the first initial screen will show a message at the very top stating the pioneer navigation is initializing and at that very moment you turn your lights on and off.

someone had the same problem here http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=118
