tillithz Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 you wont need ducatiboys bypass, you have an oct unit, on top of that the update negates that anyways. youll have to ground the two wires as described in other posts and on ducatiboys web site.

ducatiboy Posted December 14, 2006 Report Share Posted December 14, 2006 kleenkut13, before the update or after the update, you will just need to ground 2 wires. The only difference between pre-update and post update is for units made in June 06 and before. You can ground the 2 wires before the update if you want to or after, what ever you want to do. You might want to try wiping out the phone and repairing it with lower volume on the headset, that helped mine before doing the cd update. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kleenkut13 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Cool! Too busy to do it tonight. I will 2 wire ground and upgrade this weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
digxrayguy Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Great input from you all but I've been on the squeamish side because I don't have the time to mess around with this too much so I called Pioneer for a CD (800-421-1404). They very quickly said "Yes" and didn't even ask for my serial number, just my address. That was two days ago. It came today and I followed the instructions (attached in 2 JPEG's for two pages). High hopes were dashed by the update not working but I will keep at it. My issue with the Pioneer supplied CD is that I hit MAP, stick in CD, get the "checking disc.. please wait" and then a screen with "Start Update?" and a YES and NO button (only) comes up, both available. I hit YES and it breifly says checking disc and then displays the screen in step 5 of the instructions with "Start Update?" along with the other text in the screen shot of the instructions but the YES button is grayed out. I waited 20 minuyes the first time (got my car cleaned up) and it stayed there so I hit NO and it went back to the map. Tried the process again without the long wait and same thing so I'm calling Pioneer again tomorrow to continue the adventure. Â Later, Â Digxrayguy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
digxrayguy Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 Another quick note, I just compared my Pioneer supplied CD to the DIR DucatiBoy posted and it's exactly the same. Just an FYI. Â Digxrayguy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

digxrayguy Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 No lack of respect intended. Leon is the one who came up with it first - agreed. I was just referring to the DIR of Leon's post. Is that better? Â Digxrayguy Quote Link to post Share on other sites

WhyteSTI Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 For those who can't get the update to work, even after following all the steps: Â That was me. I tried everything - different media, different burn speeds, different programs (Nero and ISO Burner)... nothing seemed to work. Â I ended up getting the update to work by doing a combination of things... so I'm not sure which of the things I did actually solved the problem. Â 1) I burned the data to a DVD-R 2) I used Roxio 3) I used a different computer (different brand of CD/DVD writer) Â So, one or the combination of those solved my problem. Â I have a September 2006 unit, and the 2-wire bypass still works, the Bluetooth echo is greatly reduced, and the Z1 is as good as ever. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tillithz Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 my money is on the dvd-r, I didnt even think of using a cd at the time of upgrading, guess I am glad I didnt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kleenkut13 Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 I just installed my 2 Wire Bypass and it's a awesome! The installers had it initially wired it the "proper" way and it sucked bad (locks). I rewired it myself following Duccatiboy's directions. I hated having to pull over and press my parking break everytime. Â BLUETOOTH UPDATE: Â I did a level 3 reset (to clear out phone) first then I just tried to update and my Avic Z1 and the unit said that this update is already installed. So I then lowered my Treo 650 listening volume and repaired phone. Sounds great. I guess it is safe to assume that the Oct-06 units have already been updated coming from the factory. I hope this info is helpful. Â Kleenkut13 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bigtruckZ1 Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 The Software update is a "ISO" file. This is an image file that needs to be burned to either a CD or a DVD using any CD/DVD burning software that allows for ISO files. Â I used "My DVD" software application to burn the files to a CD. That's right, a CD. Load the CD into the Z1 and hit the menu key, The Z1 will boot it up from there, follow the Z1's on-screen instructions. The Z1 will automatically shut down and restart by itself, then reset the unit one more time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tillithz Posted December 19, 2006 Report Share Posted December 19, 2006 LeonPhelps is the original files from a cd or dvd, pioneer sending dvd's? I will know in a couple days as I got pioneer to send me an original today. But thought it would be neat to know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
