Just read the first post in this thread: http://www.sminntech.com/z1flash.html

The secondary master location, I'm pretty sure it doesn't matter for MHDD, I think it only matters for the AF Repair station. If memory serves.

I don't know what this movie is but I want to watch it!

I thought they were very clear. I had never used MHDD before and followed his instructions to the letter and it went exactly as was written. Once the Z1 drive is unlocked and you can see it in windows, you shut off your PC. Pull out all drives except for your Z1 drive. Reboot the machine with the MHDD boot disk in the drive. You boot to the MHDD boot disk, you are in the DOS window. Then from the instructions: http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic. ... 28&start=0 The only drive in your system should be displayed. In my case it is drive number 3. Press 3 and enter. If

chidoc, is a smart person! And I'm not making fun, it takes a smart person to see something like this, want it and walk away. Please people, I can't stress this enough, if you read over this and don't feel confident to be able to do this, DON'T DO IT. It takes a very smart person to understand their limitations and realize they are over their head. I really want to avoid a mess of people posting they messed up their $1500+ Z1 cause they wanted it to be a Z2 and wanted to save the $250. Always better to be safe than sorry. AFMagnum did a great job writing this up, but if you don't feel co

Kurt's Dad: My son's a homosexual, and I love him. I love my dead gay son. J.D.: Wonder how he'd react if his son had a limp wrist with a pulse. Or Miss Scarlet: Maybe there is such a thing as life after death. Mrs. White: Life after death is as improbable as sex after marriage! Or Mrs. White: Yes, I did it. I killed Yvette. I hated her so... much... it... it... the... it... the... fee... flames... flames... on the side of my face... heaving... breathless... heaving breaths... Or Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: Igor, would you give me a hand with the bags? Igor: Certain

Yes, the unlocking tool needs the drive connected to the secondary master position, or else it won't find the drive. You can't get that kind of access through the usb interface. If you want to unlock your Z1 drive that's what you need to do.

What do you think of this: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-9ga91SyOOF ... 500CDA9887 This says you can make the buttons glow red. There are a few people on the BMW boards who list radios, but most are old and not for sale anymore.

Even one of these? http://www.bavariansoundwerks.com/produ ... 8/_cid=282 It looked pretty good. Stock radio has a red glow. Any ideas what might be a good single din radio, similar look (red colored if possible) ipod and sat radio capable. I went to crutchfield and looked but there are 100's of single din radios, don't have any experience with any of them really.

Nope manual transmission. That was one of my first criteria. Notice that AWESOME stock tape deck! Debating what to do with the radio, it sounds good and has the updated speakers and sub, but I don't know what I want to put in there in a single din radio... maybe just an ipod/aux adapter or something.

Just in time for summer to be over, but I had to do it, it's very fun.

Mainly cause I didn't know a server which would be appropriate for hosting this. I have a few FTP servers but I didn't want them to get slammed with traffic. It still ends up with a single point server and with the number of people who want this image, I guarantee you that there will be 2 dozen people downloading it as soon as it' up. I was thinking more bittorrent or newsgroup for the distributed hosting, instead of just one point. FTP is great, but did not have a good place to put the files and wouldn't want it on my server and no one I knew wanted to host it either.

Yes it is a new feature in the Z2, but I think it allows you to put a new background image, but still puts some pioneer text over top of the boot background you choose. Not without unlocking the hard drive and editing the files, I did this a year ago and love the fact it doesn't say "pioneer" when it boots up. Yes, it will make you Z1 into a Z2.

This is where I send people to learn about them: http://www.slyck.com/ng.php Don't know if the link helps at all for anyone, but one of the better write ups.

stryk3r, that's a very good thought. I don't know if anyone would necessarily flame you for this. I actually think it's the best way to distribute this... to other internet savvy people. I would say that 99% of the internet users out there don't even know that they exist and it would turn into a maintenance nightmare with the number of posts of "What web site do I go to in order to download from these news groups?". I have enlightened some friends as to the newsgroup world and many of them just don't get it. Those who do get it, this would be the perfect medium to share this dis

If the disk was burned correctly, when you stick in the disk if you are in AV mode I think it will say "CD Rom" or something and just sit there and not do anything. If you hit map or on the nav screen, it will bring up a screen automatically to say "do you want to perform this update? Yes or No" and if the parking brake is not on (or the parking brake sense wire is not grounded) it will have the "yes" grayed out. But it's pretty automatic. I think you can see the nav screen in a 1/4 inch outline behind the box that asks if you want to perform the update. The most common problem I would

Well, that sucks. That should not work very well. You need to relocate a wire in connector 1 or 2 and insert it in there. The cell phone mute wire is a yellow/black wire. I don't know what yours is wired too. But you want to take a wire from connector 1 or 2 which you are not using, it doesn't matter which one. Extract it from the connector and re-insert it into the location I specified. Then ground it. Jerks. I wish I could tell you where it is in the pilot, but I can't. Maybe someone here can. Usually for the firewall, I would find something else that goes though

Or img burn http://imgburn.com/ It's free!

You are very welcome. Let us know what you find in case someone else ever runs in to this.

Unzipped it's 17 gigs. Fully zipped it's 7.8gigs ish. It's still a lot to distribute.

Is OP short for Other People? My guess is the installer is focusing on the end of the wire which is connected to a ground wire and not at the end that's shoved into connector 2. 99 times out of 100 even with installers who have DOZENS of years experience when they have problems, it's problems inserting the wire and terminal end into connector 2. I don't know why, but it seems that's by FAR the biggest problem with people and it causes the unit to be unlocked while stationary and even sometimes works for 50 - 100 miles, then will start locking you out while moving. If that's what's hap

skep, since the clock and position is taken from the GPS antenna, my first guess is the GPS antenna is unplugged. Have the guy hit MENU - SETTINGS - HARDWARE - CONNECTION STATUS And look at the GPS antenna signal line. How many sats does he have? What color are they (yellow or orange)? If he has no sats, maybe the GPS antenna is just unplugged.

Well, not to be an ass either, but I really don't care about your credentials. And I was not trying to make you out to be stupid. I have had 100's of PM's and emails from people with way more experience than you (or at least claimed as much as you did) who couldn't figure out what's wrong with this bypass or needed help with this bypass. I'm sorry if you didn't like my response, but that was due to a very short and less than descriptive post. Now that I read this one and go back and re-read the last one, I understand what your problem was. I guess I didn't back then. But don't fee

"bypassed correctly" only works as a description if you are moving and everything still works. It's not bypassed correctly if it's locked out while moving. If it's UNLOCKED while stopped but it's LOCKED while moving it's not BYPASSED. The bypass will have it unlocked all the time. Don't mean to be a stickler for definitions but it will help everyone understand what's going on and possibly point you in the direction of the solution. If you have access to stuff while stationary but not while moving it's 1 of 2 things: 1. you didn't load the hyperite iso disk in there but you

And you can only make 1000 CD's. It will only take 1000 and I think you will run out of room on the drive with less than half that. So at least you don't have to make 800 million.
