AVIC Z1 G35 Coupe Images

Guys everyone thought the D1 couldn't be modified to play DVDs while driving. There is a hack for it though where you insert a wire into the unused slot on the harness and ground that, along with the parking brake. Voila, you can do it. I'm guessing the Z1 has some sort of similar way to do this. Usually you want it for technician reasons. Check to see if the harness has an open slot without a wire in it in the corner. If so, ground that and the parking brake and you are in business.
I'd love to migrate to the Z1. I have the D1 in my car, which I installed and is able to play DVD while driving. Do you use the same Ipod interface as the D1 or is the Ipod interface built into the Z1?

I have a Z1. There is no movie watching/PS2 player on the head unit itself while the car is in motion. If you have other screens though, you can still watch it.
The only downside about not watching movies while the car is in motion is I can't program the nav while the car is moving either! Booo!

The z1 needs an interface to access the I-pod. The one I used for the D1 works with the Z1, but pioneer is making a new model for 2006 head units.

Perhaps you could convert the OEM Nav system screen to display video from the Z1.

Yeah I agree. I'm looking forward to following this thread to see when the crack comes out. It's just a matter of time. Last May when I bought and installed my D1 there was no crack. Now there is. Pioneer will leak it. Otherwise it will slow their sales.
Good to hear my Ipod interface will port (figured it would since it is IP Bus). As soon as someone finds a crack for this (and after the price drops a little) I'll be switching over to this deck!

Inno is right... eventually somebody'll figure out the crack for the Z1 too, just like all the other ones

Quick question guys do I need: http://www.discount-electronic.com/s...&PIONEER-NDBT1 this and a separate blue tooth to make the blue tooth feature work? Thank you in advance.

I am probably one of the biggest fans of keeping the stock HU... but I want this. Only thing stopping me is the override to play the DVD while moving. Like others said, I have NO (zero) desire to watch anything while driving. I want my passenger to be able to watch it. If anyone can find out if this can be bypassed for sure I'd appreciate it.

The background image can be customized unlike with the D1. This is a stock image:
Ipod interface is light years better:
DVD:
I also have a TV tuner installed:
Music library for songs burned directly from the CD player:
XM interface is better:
It still has the meters:
And navigation with regular veiws and this dual view mode:
It's a much better system even though the D1 is good. My old D1 is making its way into my RX7 now.

Pair up to 5 bluetooth phones
Make/receive phone calls from the Z1's front panel (using the onscreen 10key feature and utilizing the Z1's voice mic)
Display caller info on the screen
Import your cell phone address book to the Z1.
I'm looking forward to not having to take my phone out of my pocket and sticking it in the cup holder everythime I get in the car. Hopefully I didn't sound too excited...I'm just really anxious since I already paid for the thing!
