Updated Bypass Instructions for the Avic Z1, Z2, and Z3

[DiscoLad]

isnt the bypass supposed to be in the bottom right open space? this one is in the top left.

Hmmm no matter what I do, I can't get the bypass to work. It is a Z2 with a manufacture date of June '07. I am grounding the light green wire coming out of the black power harness, and also the bottom right pin on connector 2. But still those elusive Address Search and POI Search Buttons remain greyed out.

 

I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that I am trying to do this inside at my desk and none of the other wires are hooked up. Right now all i have hooked up are the power wires and those described in the bypass. I am grounding them by putting the other end of the wire into the grounding socket hole of a wall outlet.

 

Any suggestions at all guys? I would hate to rip apart my dash, get this installed only to find out I still can't bypass it.

 

Thanks in advance.

The 2 wires need to be grounded to the -12v (ie, the same as the black wire). "Grounding" it to the house wiring will not do anything.

Woo hoo! Works perfectly.

 

Garret, I think we need to get you some kind of AVIC hero award .

 

CHeers,

Oh sweet Jesus.

 

You are a brave soul, sir.

 

Information on this thread is fantastic though. I imagine a Z1 upgraded with a Z3 hard drive still acts the same with the 2-wire bypass?

Brave or completely clueless. Most likely the latter. The Z1 (or Z2) upgraded to a Z3 does indeed still work with the 2-wire bypass.

 

 

CHeers!

K. Download the file. Put it on your desktop. It should be called something like AvicBluetoothFix.ISO

 

Download a program called Active ISO Burner, its free. Install it.
