tbyrne1 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 So the bypass wiring is the same as doing the Z1? Just a matter of getting the upgrade disk or downloading from Pioneer's site if they put the "upgrade" on there this week, load that disk and then do the two wire upgrade and we're good to go? Sounds easy enough! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

racerx80_99 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 One problem with my bypass maybe someone can help me with. I installed the ISO software update, I grouned the 2 wire bypass using the mute(yellow with black strip) wire in #2 and grounded it and the light green wire grounded. Now the Nav systems works fine while moving, the DVD plays while moving great. But I have a AV input (archos) that used the AV Input function on the Z2 that is non-selectable now. Now I can't use it to play music through the Z2. Any Ideas???? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whtcrxghst Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Go into the initial/setup menu and turn it back on. Probably became set to OFF when you reset it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Donovan Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 If you have have one, You may want to turn your backup camera back on while you are in there..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
racerx80_99 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Thanks Donovan, its worked Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bongus Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Great work everyone. I tried the bypass on a friend's Z2...all is good. I currently have a Z1 and I'm anxiously waiting to see a solution for the Z1. It has been mentioned that have a Z2 image on the Z1 would allow the Z2 bypass to work. My question is, how hard is it to get a Z2 image on a Z1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ducatiboy Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Great work everyone. I tried the bypass on a friend's Z2...all is good. I currently have a Z1 and I'm anxiously waiting to see a solution for the Z1. It has been mentioned that have a Z2 image on the Z1 would allow the Z2 bypass to work. My question is, how hard is it to get a Z2 image on a Z1. If you unlock both drives it should be pretty easy to copy the files from one to the other. I have some acronis backup images which, when I restore them seem to put my Z1 into some weird lockup reboot mode (software update failed messages). I think if you do it at the file level, it's ok, but I'm having trouble with the whole restore image. But people have told me you can do it. I just haven't gotten to it yet. Or you can pay pioneer the $250. OR wait till someone tells you how to crack their code for SN/install codes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jhyland87 Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Any way I can get this DVD for less than $250 Anyone wanna sell me a copy of it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mcgilbery Posted July 27, 2007 Report Share Posted July 27, 2007 Bypass and all who helped are superb. I had to go through 3 burns to get a good disk that would take but that's common with the disks I've been getting. Thanks again to all who made it possible. Pioneer may have done part but they did it for marketing losses. You guys put it out there and spoon fed a lot of folks how to do it. That's admirable and impressive by any standards.

sparqui Posted August 2, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 2, 2007 I said I would come back with an update... You will be happy to know that this bypass has worked flawlessly for well over 3500 miles and two weeks! This is personally tested by myself! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sinkoumn Posted August 6, 2007 Report Share Posted August 6, 2007 VERY NOOB question, but if you have the Z2 do you need to unlock the HDD to bypass it? Or can you just bypass it by doing the two wire ground and using the ISO image (never touching the HDD)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
