Like I said, analog to digital can be tricky. Mix in a few other monitoring points and some logic and, well let's just say I agree... It could be anything. Could be the car, the components the electrical system anything. Of course when someone does figure this out we may all be kicking ourselves for not seeing the simplicity of it... Then again with all of the people involved in working on a physical/electrical/analog bypass I doubt it...

If you look over some of the Microsoft Automotive links I shared I think you'll quickly come to the conclusion that you are probably not dealing with just one DLL but an entire messaging and monitoring subsystem of the OS. I doubt its going to be as simple as replacing one file. If I were a betting man I'd bet on one of two scenarios. 1) A group of files representing the entire EDDC subsystem. 2) Something similar to a registry setting that provides the bypass. Now from one of the posts I read it appears that the European Z2 units do not implement EDDC. If that is the case I wou

Hopefully someone with the right skill set and the capability will pick up this ball and run with it... Any takers? Quite honestly this bypass or more accurately the lack of a bypass is what is driving me toward the Kenwood DNX7100... (much to the surprise of my local retailer who tried to temp me with a AVIC D3 - Javier you listening?) Well that and the ability to play video off of a USB HD, without an iPod...

OK that's possible but there's probably more to it, maybe. Then again it could be just that simple... Here's some more links based on what I shared previously... http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms858650.aspx Although the MSDN article suggests and OEM should select one specific system to monitor, it does not categorically state that the OEM is limited to one and only one vehicle system component to monitor. As far as the code for the driver or simply writing over the Z2 driver component with the Z1 driver component, http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms

I'm doubtful that its a file that is written to disk, I suspect that what ever that EDDC driver is using to determine operational vs. non-operational state of the vehicle may not be as fully binary as Pioneer might of hoped. Again, that EDDC driver is contantly monitoring the state of something, what that something is I can't tell you. Once that something reaches a certain threshold, the driver sets a variable from a binary 0 to a 1. Any other software that monitors the EDDC state will then change its operation accordingly. Now is it possible that some shim is monitoring several ph

Since I'm in the market for a AVIC-Z2 or similar I've been following a few of these bypass threads for a few days now. While the majority of the posts have been looking for some external physical bypass a few have indicated that the solution may be in the software itself. To lend some credibility to that (potentially), I'd like to point all of you to a couple of links that might spark a conversation or two...
