So I've had the newest software installed since I last posted and am running toslink. I have not had to unplug the unit at all. Sound is present every time I start the vehicle. The new adjustment interface is really cool!
Sounds like you might have a bad unit. Since you said the unit doesn't boot up properly, I don't think it's a handshake issue with the JL amp.

My only other option is to swap this out for a JL Fix or one of the Audio Control units but I hate the idea of trying to “polish a turd signal”
thanks again!

Another update: I went through a pretty substantial re-tune this afternoon using my new AudioFrog RTA instead of my trusty UMIK-1. Totally different tuning process but a very welcoming change. I definitely recommend reading this process from Andy at AudioFrog. A Straightforward Stereo Tuning Process and Some Notes About Why it Works
Good news- Truck is sounding better than ever. I am continuously becoming more impressed by this build, it just keeps improving with no limitations thus far. Even more excited for my next speaker upgrade
.
Bad news- I got in the truck tonight and had no sound. Dsp and amps were on. I had to unplug the navtv unit. As soon as I plugged it back in, everything worked again. I'm still using toslink for signal. Looks like there is in fact a software glitch in the most recent update. I'm going to give Tony a call on Monday. Now that there are two of us, we have evidence that there is an issue. We will get it fixed soon enough. I suggest you downgrade for the time being. That will solve your problem until a patch is created. Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Aslo, when you have no sound prior to cycling the Zen power, does the volume increment indicator display on the touchscreen when you turn the ****?
Thanks for the update. Do you think your issue is related to the software update? I only had mine installed for a few days but everything did seem to work before the update.
Happy thanksgiving to you as well!

Yeah. Ok. Maybe I’ll downgrade and see what’s up. I only upgraded so I could adjust the chime volume. Hopefully it’s software related but I heard from some others that had this issue with the gen 1 hardware.
