AVIC-Z2 Pre/Post-June Bypass Files

[whtcrxghst]

You have to be stopped to get to that menu. In other words, put on your parking brake...or do the bypass

 

Thanks bobmun!!!! Will Try!

 

Also one more question when i press the "v" button next to the "open/close" button it should bring up a screen where i can control the dimmer, brightness, etc. I was able to that before on the z1 but when i converted to z2 i can not do that.

 

ANY THOUGHTS????

 

Thanks

I have problems with mine locking up as well.. Does anyone know if we do the firmware update that pmason718 got from pioneer whether it will have any affect on the bypass update that I already installed?

[whtcrxghst]

Doesn't effect the 2-wire bypass at all

I can't say thanks enough for all you guys that worked on the bypass. This forum was a life saver, not just for me but also for pioneer. EVerything was a success.

Just to let everyone know, I hadn't done the software bypass because I wanted to get the locking/freezing up issue resolved. Well I did the Z2 update for the locking and freezing up and after a couple of hiccups it updated and my deck works like it should. So I thought I would be brave and do the Z2 pre/post bypass with the ISO image that was so generously made and given out. Everything was going like it should til it rebooted after the update. I got a "Starting up Pioneer Navigation" or something to that effect and nothing else. Just a big black screen. So I waited about 30-60 minutes and then started up my vehicle and the deck hung at the same spot. So I thought what the heck and put in the Z2 Freezing/Locking update disc and my system went through updating yet again. This time it was flawless and I didn't get the update failed but got the update completed and the deck came right up. Being that when I got my deck installed I had the installer do the 2wire bypass back in March hoping that it might work alone. But it didn't so I already had that 50% of the process completed. So I thought that I would take it out for a test drive and see if my DVD's would play right and see if I could use the Navigation while moving. And low and behold everything works like it should. So I give big props to the guys that brought this release. I will be donating some money to the cause out of my next paycheck, fo sho.

So to clarify? Does the new firmware update for the Z1 or Z2 locking issue disable the 2-wire bypass? Also, has anyone had success updating an upgraded 60gb drive?

 

I don't want to kill my perfectly working image with some firmware update I don't really need.

NO. The 2-wire bypass is unaffected

Hey guys. I downloaded the file, burned it on to a cd. I have my z2 already installed with the 2 wire bypass. I insert the cd into the unit and when I hit map it just brings up the map view options. I don't know if i'm missing something, please help.

[whtcrxghst]

Did you try it without pressing the map button? What burning program and media did you use?

I used a riDATA cd and I used sonic burning software.

 

I tried it with inserting the cd , pressing map, then reset.

 

I also tried without pressing map

I have two headrest monitors that worked perfectly before the bypass. After the bypass (which otherwise worked great) they say "no signal" and I can't find anywhere in the Z2 to re-activate them. Any suggestions????

I have a Z2. Effectively did 2-wire bypass and ISO update. DVD works magnificently, BUT my navi is all screwed up. It shows me going at a 45 degree angle away from my current direction and only shows half speed. GPS antenna signal is high, VSS speed sensor is connected and showing a signal. The unit will update my current location approximately every 10 seconds (GPS?) but still shows me going off course between updates.

 

Also, it seems as though the unit is only showing me going about half the speed I currently am. Only had the problem since I updated. Any suggestions, besides the obvious resetting the system and checking grounds (which I've already done). Thanks guys!

Go to the source menu and change the setting for 'Rear Monitor'

I thought my z2 deck was fixed with the bypass. But my wife said the next day that she couldn't see the dvd or use the nav while driving over 10-15 mph. Anyone have any ideas? I mean I did the update and drove the vehicle that night and drove perfectly, now nada.

Check your grounds on the bypass wire and parking brake wire. Also make sure that the pin you moved is in the new location securely
