zdubsi Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 So I've been watching this forum for about the last week since I purchased a used Z1 off of a different car forum. I have done a ton of research, and aside from deciding that I am definitely going to contact garrett about that Z3 upgrade, I also really want to get the 2 wire bypass to work since I will be upgrading to the Z3 and the 2-wire bypass should work. Here is my problem though. In the instructions for the 2-wire bypass, it says to move the mute wire down one slot into the "bottom left" slot of the connector 1 harness. Unfortunately I already have a wire coming out of that slot, it is labeled "Wired Remote Control" and is blue/white. This wire is necessary for my car's integrated factory amp control, I get no sound whatsoever out of my speakers if I don't connect this wire to my car's factory amp wire. I tried looking around on here, maybe I'm not researching enough but if someone knows what else I could possibly do to get the bypass to work since the traditional 2-wire bypass won't work for me. Am I just SOL? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrettoomey Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 You don't "move it down one slot", you move the wire from RCA connector 1 to RCA connector 2. There is a chance that someone has already moved a wire into this position to bypass... RCA Connector 2 has FOUR empty positions. See the instructions here: http://www.sminntech.com/z1flash.html#newbypass Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zdubsi Posted June 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 oh wow... talk about foot in mouth, facepalm, etc. I read that like twice and totally did not catch you move the wire out of connector one and place it in connector two. I read the instructions on a different site, I think it was for a D series and since the pics looked very similar I guess I just didn't pay enough attention to the wording... duh! Thanks for the fast response! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
