AMRguy Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I did searchbut I am still unsure of one part. My Kenwood was stolen and my insurance company is sending a mobile service out to install a Z2, Ipod, Bluetooth, XM, XM Navteq. It's a 2005 F250 crew cab, dual LCD monitors in the back seat. I had my Kenwood bypassed with a switch in case of police stops etc... I guess people are worrying about that these days. My question comes from me not knowing the build date of my Z2. Do I need to ask the installer to do the two wire ground and then just run the ISO ? I'm seeing ISO's that say Z1 and Z2, is there just one ? Thanks for your help guys ! Also, what do you think about XM and Navteq and ? GPS antenna on the dash. Is there 3 ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whtcrxghst Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Yes, just have him to the 2-wire bypass. If it doesn't work, download the patch and burn it. You will have 2 antennas, one for nav and one for XM/NavTraffic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
openendstraight Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 My installer said I have to do the patch then, he has to do the two wire bypass. Is this correct? I have an AVIC-Z2. I downloaded and burned the file. Put it in and pushed the map screen. After a while I pushed the reset button. After it came back on it said, something about udated already been done. Is this what I should see? He is doing the 2 wire bypass tomorrow. I don,t care about being able to watch DVD's while driving, but I would like to have all the phone and map functions working. I do not have two antennas, and I have XM traffic. My map does show if there is cons. or an accident. Thaks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites
installermarc Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 If you see the message that the update is already done, then Pioneer has done it for you. Do the 2 wire bypass and your set. As for antennas, you should have one for the GPS (for the Z2) and one for XM. Sorry, but no one makes an integrated one just yet (but an installer can dream, right?)

openendstraight Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 If you are refering to the Nav antenna fo the unit and the XM antenna, then I have tow. I thought they ment that you would have two antennas for the XM Navtraffic. My mis-understanding. Sorry. Thanks for the input on the unlock. Will see how it goes tomorrow.

mathew_g_99 Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 I just tried it two minutes ago and did not see an update screen. I burned the download to a CD-R with a two other photos for background and burned with nero. Then put it in hit map and nothing happened? Waitied a few minutes and hit the reset button. But it didnt work. So I tried it again. Now it working, I put the car in drive with the e-brake off and played a DvD and it is working but....now when I put the car into reverse the rear camera is not working. Also, when I turn on the car the blue tooth will see my phone but they is no phone opions anymore on the menu and when I call I can hear the caller but they can not hear me? Not sure if this has something to do with it but after the installed the CD-R I notice instead of a time there is just ***** instead? no numbers? Any help will be great!

openendstraight Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I am not sure about the phone issue, but the back up camera is more than likely fixable in the a/v menu. There is a setting for the camera power. Try that. I had the same problem after I hit the reset button, but this fixed the problem (thanks to this site). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Thumpermx113 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 So for the newer Z2s do we just do the two wire bypass and that's it? .. or do we have to also download and install this image stuff? I'm a complete noobie on this forum. I'm just trying to figure it out before I order my Z2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thumpermx113 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Alright Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mathew_g_99 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Ok, new problem. I thought I had successfully conducted a bypass but when I went to work today, I notice it wasn’t. 1. First when I turn-on my car the Z-2 loads and explain the Nav. system is only an assist screen, then, there is a warning screen that the brake wire is not properly grounded. 2. I put a DVD into the z-2 and tried to watch a movie but it would not let me. Also I do not have all the options available to be in the menu screen like you would with the e-brake on or bypassed. 3. I did not do the install or the grounding but I did ask the installer to do the double bypass grounding as in the instructions given to me in this form and he assured me he did so. So, I am new to the Z-2 or any other car audio for that manner, please help in any way that you can. I am going to burn the file to a different CD-R and try to do it again with the e-brake on and the care in park, and turn on. If I am doing something wrong please let me know?
