Dramonb Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Nope, you're fine. but it didnt update I don't think. Just pressed 'OK' and no update.... Then you didn't need it. The bypass is working, right? no, because the software was older than what is already installed. It didnt install the bypass files. I went back and doublechecked everything. Only with the parking brake engaged will it respond to any user input or video playback in the front cab....Any ideas? Thanks in advance.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hyperite Posted January 6, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Did you do the 2-wire bypass already? Doesn't sound like it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dramonb Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Did you do the 2-wire bypass already? Doesn't sound like it. I cant do it that way. used your alternative route that involved the ISO..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
shagthedrummer Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Dramonb!!! If you get the old disc message.... you don't need to install it. Do the 2 wire by-pass, and you are done. That's it. No hack... just wires. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AFMagnum Posted January 6, 2008 Report Share Posted January 6, 2008 Did you do the 2-wire bypass already? Doesn't sound like it. I cant do it that way. used your alternative route that involved the ISO..... No matter what software you install, you have to do the 2-wire bypass for this to work.

Dramonb Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 No matter what software you install, you have to do the 2-wire bypass for this to work.Yup alright. i'll see who in los angeles can help. Disappointing as I thought the software angle would work. someone mentioned startronics at some point i'll see what they can do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
workindev Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 A quick suggestion for this thread. Having read all 43 pages it became quite clear how to do this bypass, but most people are probably not going to read all 43 pages, and reading the first page probably isn't going to cut it if they really don't know what they are doing. Why not edit the OP point out the following points that seem to be asked about multiple times per page: - All systems will need the 2-wire bypass regardless of the software version on the Z2 - Your system MAY require a software update to bypass, which can be either the .ISO download here or the latest Pioneer firmware update from ~Sept 2007. Newer systems probably won't need any software changes. - Symptoms of a bad 2-wire grounding job (I.E. works for 10 miles and then shuts off, buttons still grayed out, improper parking brake wire warning message even after reset, etc) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sssp Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 I am having trouble with the 2 wire bypass. The parking brake is grounded fine, but I can't locate wire #2. My harness does not have any empty connectors. All the connectors have wires running in them. Am I looking at the wrong one? My Z2 was manufactured in September 07 and is being installed on a 04 Subaru WRX. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogoevoMR Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 I am having trouble with the 2 wire bypass. The parking brake is grounded fine, but I can't locate wire #2. My harness does not have any empty connectors. All the connectors have wires running in them. Am I looking at the wrong one?My Z2 was manufactured in September 07 and is being installed on a 04 Subaru WRX. I have read this entire thread. I to have the same thing..... (I recall looking at the harness after reading this thread a few days ago)..... All pins have a wire in them. Not sure of Mfg date (at work) but I just received the unit as a xmas gift. Quote from the walkthru "The 4 right most locations in that connector DO NOT have wires in them. You need to add a wire to this position and ground it as well." Do I simply splice into that wire and ground it; or cut it then ground it? Another question I have and this may be relevant to SSSP's post, is, I am installing this unit in a Mitsu EVO MR. Some of you may be aware that these cars are very ridged and the ride comfort is very low. With that said (and I have read) that sometimes the unit will reboot do to shock. Does anyone have a successful install on a similar vehicle? And if so, are there any issues? Thanks for any advise... Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogoevoMR Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Disregard my first question. I went home for lunch and looked again and found the harness that has the four open slots. My second question still stands. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dawgbone Posted January 10, 2008 Report Share Posted January 10, 2008 Disregard my first question. I went home for lunch and looked again and found the harness that has the four open slots. My second question still stands. I saw a post on an e46(BMW M3) forum where someone installed it i their M3....I don't have an AVIC in mine, but they do ride pretty rough.... My truck rides pretty rough as it's got a sportir suspension, and a ton of miles on it(Silverado SS)...the Avic tells me that it's too rough half the times, but it's never rebooted or caused any issue so far...
