URDONE Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 I am getting a Z1 unit installed on Tuesday on my 2003 GS 300. I will also be getting the Ipod adaptor, blue tooth, and the rearview camera. Is there anything I really need to know before then? I am reading about you guys getting these Ducatiboy bypasses, do I need one? Does this bypass do the same thing that the headlight flicker trick will do? What should I look out for? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ducatiboy Posted December 16, 2006 Report Share Posted December 16, 2006 I am reading about you guys getting these Ducatiboy bypasses, Yes, they were very popular. do I need one? Only if your Z1 was made before Mid July 06, if it was made since then you only need to ground 2 wire. Does this bypass do the same thing that the headlight flicker trick will do? Yes, my circuit told the Z1 that you flashed the headlights automatically every time you started the car, so you didn't have to. If you have a newer one, you can just do the 07/06 bypass listed here: http://www.sminntech.com/z1flash.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

URDONE Posted December 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 I should be able to watch DVDs with the headlight flicker trick correct? Or am I getting this trick confused with a different function? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

URDONE Posted December 18, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Gotcha. How can I tell when it was made? Hopefully the guys doing my install are willing to do the extra step for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ducatiboy Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 How can I tell when it was made? The date, Month and Year (so far all 06's), is printed on stickers on the box, on the unit itself and I believe on the warranty card. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
URDONE Posted December 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 Well the headlight flicker didn't work. So I need to do the 06/07 bypass. I got the wrong ipod adaptor, so I have to take my car back to the shop to get that installed. When I take it back, I am going to take the write up on the bypass and have the install guy run me through it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
