Pioneer sat nav over heating and shutting down (1 Viewer)

[Oinkoink]

I have a Pioneer AVIC Z2000 sat nav which is coming up with the attached message saying it is overheating and going to shut down. This happens after 40 minutes whether the vehicle is running or stationary. Quite inconvenient in the centre of Glasgow! Has anyone any experience of this remedies? My initial diagnosis is that the fan on the gadget is malfunctioning. If anyone has any suggestions would be greatly received.

Fan failure was my first (and only thought) unless there is insufficient airflow around the unit.

You have my sympathy… They (Pioneer) are a complete nightmare. There is obviously an inherent design fault in them. Ripped mine out and installed one that isn’t drawing loads of power and acting as a heat sync.
