gus738 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 have we tried old methods (temporarly flashing heads ) or as simple as grounding the unit? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
weberjam Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Yep. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gus738 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 someone here well 2 people have said that they have a current bypass on the z2 , one is doing a bounty (150) so far and other has limitaions to the bypass Quote Link to post Share on other sites
palacios Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 someone here well 2 people have said that they have a current bypass on the z2 , one is doing a bounty (150) so far and other has limitaions to the bypassThere is no bypass at this time. There is a back door but it disables the GPS. That is not a bypass. The other you mentioned is a search for a bypass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SPORK Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 Has anyone tried to ground the other three pins in connector 2 or tried applying ground to the z1 bypass pin then removing from ground the reapplying ground to it? Just a suggestion for some z2 owners to to try but I do not know if there will be consequences to doing that as far as damaging the unit. Thanks let me know if any work.

gus738 Posted May 29, 2007 Report Share Posted May 29, 2007 coudl be a fraud but if someone has the guts to tamper with the pins assemble it back and exchange it if unit goes bad? Â i know i wouldnt but then again its just a thought for those who willing to take the risk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gus738 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 so has anyone tried soliding some pins? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just a suggestion for some z2 owners to to try but I do not know if there will be consequences to doing that as far as damaging the unit. Thanks let me know if any work. Â I was meaning pulling the mute wire out and re pinning it in different connectors. you can test the wire after pinning it with a D.M.M. and see if it reads any voltage or ground also turning on your parking lights (if your illumination wire is hooked) to see if there is a voltage jump just in case it is a output. I would try thees methods myself but I am trying to recommend some methods to see if we can bypass this z2 so I don't have to try to find a z1 and pay more for it.

gus738 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 i didnt fellow you on the last sentence someting about paying the z1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ducatiboy Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 so has anyone tried soliding some pins? Â If you mean like the N2 I believe (putting solder across 2 points that are on the board and exposed) someone tried that and it causes the Z2 not to boot up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gus738 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 damn i guess we still stock with temporarly bypass c'mon pioneer reps just send a email with a friends email receipent ;p; Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rander1 Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 For those that are interested I did some testing with swapping the CPU's between the Z1 and Z2. Â I was unable to get a Z1 CPU to work with a Z2 HDD (because I did not hack/unlock the drive). Â So what I did was swap out the Z1 CPU and HDD and put them into the Z2 chassis and I was able to bypass. (so I have a Z2 with a Z1 CPU and Z1HDD). Â If you are able to unlock the HDD and load the Z1 data onto your drive and put it into the Z2 without removing anything and it becomes bypassable then ignore this post. Â If not, then I am guessing that anyone with a Z2 can just make theirs a Z1 by hacking their Z2 HDD, loading the Z1 image, and buying this CPU form pioneer parts. (again assuming that loading a Z1 image and placing it into the Z2 doesn't work) Â Â http://parts.pioneerelectronics.com/part.asp?productNum=CWN1582 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Â That was tested on a few people's systems and did seem to work. No hardware change needed. Just take the Z1 image and overwrite the Z2 image and it worked. I believe physically swapping hard drives also worked on the tests as well. The bypass followed the files/hard drive. A bypassed Z1 with a Z2 drive was no longer bypassed. A Z2 with the Z1 files on it was bypassable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hyperite Posted June 1, 2007 Report Share Posted June 1, 2007 I believe physically swapping hard drives also worked on the tests as well. Yes, but only if the drives are ATA unlocked. A Z2 will not be able to unlock a Z1 drive, and vice versa. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
