thanks, i left the guy a message to see if he can fix my problem as its not listed on his ebay description...... but if anyone else has a solution that ti can do my self that would be grealty appreciated.

no one willing to help a brother z1 owner out ? what gives... someone on here must have the knowledge to get my screen to slide open.............

ok, i tryed everything including takiking the unit almost completely apart but still no luck getting the screen to slide open:( Does anyone know the pin configuration on the back to electricly open the screen ?

ok, I pryed out the top of the screen assembly to access the small screws but I still cannot open the bottom, ie the gears wont open the screen, I have tryed the method oninferno99 sight but it does not work, I dont know if its because mine is a z1 and his instructions are for a z2. But I think if I could re hook the ribbon cable from the buttons the unit may work ? any help would be appreciated.

Looking threw previous post it seams that maybe the ribbon cable ging from the z1 to the touch screen came undone or broke, how do i acess this so I can determine if thats the problem ? thanks and please come back tonight crook, I got a little supprise for you

how do i acess the ribbon a z1 that will not open ? and the bottons do not work ?

some looser or looser's tryed to pry off my face plate last night and managed to break loose the right bottom from the screen, they also got the wheels of the track on the top with a keys? or a crew driver. I got the wheels back in the track by force ... and the right front bottom buttons back on but the touch screen does not work at all and the bottom buttons do not work at all.... the unit powers on to the map wich is blocked by the warning message and the unit did have sound before i unpluged everything trying to get face plate back in the track and the bottom benzel bak on....

it might finally be time to upgrade from my z1

is there a way to upgrade the z2 software without using the original hd ? I want to get a new hd and load the z2 image on from the ftp site provided, what are the steps involved to do this if i am not going to use the z1 hd ? or is this not doo able without unlocking the hd and a making a image of the original ? thanks.

thanks bdmpastx for providing the files. 700.iso file and the track 1,2 ,18 .at3 files on the ftp site, do I need to un rar those files too ? and what are thoses files ? or do i just un rar the .01 threw .09 .rar files and follow the instructions ? thanks in advance.

any update on the maps for z1 upgrade ?

i only need to flash the headlights 1 time for the bypass to work and i can flash it anytime during the entire boot up prosess with a 100% sucess rate. should save a little ware and tear on the unit and vehical lights..

[quote name="aziator"]My timing must suck, I still cant get it to work...[/quote] when you start the car the lights illuminate on the z1....do nothing. when the z1 sarts its boot sequence it will look something like this 21314efdsfe35453 1321453254554435 134343525545345 thats when you turn on and off the headlights..... next it will display the pioneer logo.... you can still turn on and off your lights during this time. i usualy get 1 on and off during the boot sequence and 2 durning the pioneer logo and i do all my flashes within about 2 seconds total

[quote name="Anonymous"]Is anyone willing to write up a quick step by step procedure to grounding the e-brake and getting the bypass to work by flickering the lights, to include those with daytime running lights, if the lights should be kept on or off.....or does it really matter? This is the only bypass method I have seen that has worked and I'll be installing my Z1 tomorrow. I'm a newbie at this, so all the help would be great! Thatnks to everyone and their input too!! 8)[/quote] just ground the pb wire to the chassie ground, then turn on and off the headlights 3 or more times af

[quote name="imoveteeth"]Mine didn't work with parking break grounded. I had to disconnect the parking break ground in order to make it work. I also found that if you ground the break while you are watching DVD's in motion, everything stops.[/quote] you must ground the parking brake, try it again and i bet you make the bypass work.
