If I'm understanding this correctly, I should be able to do this 2 wire bypass on my Z2 without any firmware updating as long as it's not the earlier version right?

My CD/DVD reader doesn't work so I have no way of hacking firmware. How do I tell which firmware is on it or how can I tell this 2 wire bypass will work for my unit? I'm getting ready to pull it back out of the dash in an hour or so to do some other work to it. Figured I'd look into this bypass info as well.

Yes it should work if you have a late model Z2, or if the previous owner did the update. You have nothing to lose by trying. I can also upgrade your firmware for you, see the classified section.

Does anyone have a link to the image file for the CD that works? Megaupload was killed by the US government.

ive been away from this forum for a long time and i miss alot.
since megaupload is shut down, is there any way you guys put the file in different server?
and also, my unit is z2 but upgraded to z3, can i still use this method.
thanks alot

[garrettoomey]

If z3, you don't need this file.

[justjager]

All the links for the files on Megaupload have been removed. Does anyone know anywhere else to get these files? A link would be great if one is available...

[miraculousboy]

You don't need the file.  Just do the wiring bypass.

wire bypass does not work if i drive over 15 mph it kicks the video off after the warning screen that says something like "the system has detected an improper connection...etc-etc" and only sound comes on... =(
