DucatiBoy's Flasher is the funk!!!


Recommended Posts

So, I have a question...

I just installed my Z1, with the DC-BP1 (DucatiBoy ByPass 1). So how do I know if it's working?

What features would I not be able to do while driving that I would actually want to do (not watching DVD movies). What features does this enable in the NAVI mode?

Yah, I don't know the easiest way to describe this. But people who had it installed without it know instantly.

Easiest thing to tell people to do to check:

Turn on the car and let the radio boot up.

Hit the MAP button, then hit OK past the nav nag screen.

Then press the center MENU Button.

8 of the 10 buttons should be available and the two most right buttons are greyed out.

If you have the 8 buttons available, you are good to go. If you have 4 buttons (I don't remember which ones) it's not working.

Actually they are $30 not $25. And no there no other way other than manually flashing your lights. If you have HID's just flash the parking lights. HID's don't like to be turned on and off. LED's don't care, flash all you want. Those are your tail/brake lights, they go on and off 100's of times a day (every time you hit the brake). They should last for ever no matter what you do with them. In other words, don't worry about your LED's, just your HID's.

And really? You can't spare $30? You bought a $2K radio? Heck, my gas bill is $50/week these days. You really can't squeze $30? Really? :)
