I have a Avic Z1 that i bought as refurbished. I have done the two wire bypass, but the software show that it is the old version, so i tried downloading the updated disc from Pioneer, and nothing happens when i put it in the head unit, so i am downloading the bluetooth update off your website now, and will try that. Next, my illumination is not working. I have a 2007 Chevy silverado, and bought the 130 dollar wiring harness to keep all my onstar, and chimes, and everything works except the illumination. So i cannot try the flash the headlight trick. I called a radio shop around here, and he said that since some vehicles actually send a current through the illumination wire, it may not ever work, and i should not hook it up, because it may mees up the unit. Help this thing is blinding me at night.

Can't help you with the ILL, but since you did the 2-wire and are updating the software, you don't need to do the flasher trick.

I tried to download the bluetooth and the update disc from Ducatiboy's site, and also pioneer and am not having any luck getting any of the discs to work. They either tell me unreadable disc, or it does nothing at all.

What burning program are you using?

when i open the bluetooth update disc, it uses roxio automatically, but the one from Pioneer, i am downloading and just copying it to the disc.

whats up guys just bought avicz1 need help to bypass my unit it sucks to be parked to watch movies i know its illegal.... thanks....

You need to see if yo have the old version software or not, if your illumination works, when you fisrt start the vehicle falsh the lights three times while the head unit is starting up, and this would bypass it, if this does not work you probably have the new software and need to do a two wire bypass, which you can find the directions on this site by searching two wire bypass. good luck

i bought this unit from my buddy he he got it when it first came out in 2006 so i think it is the old version

if that is the case, you would need the wired bypass that ducatiboy sells, or you can do the light thing everytime and it should work for a couple of hours that way from what i am told. or you can update the software, and do the two wire bypass.

is there a website for the 2wire bypass and software...thanks....

Here is what I did and it worked the first time. Download Magic ISO...its free. Download the bluetooth update and save it to your desktop, it should be in an ISO format. When it is done and on your desktop, double click on it and it should automatically open magic iso and ask you what speed you want to burn it at. Burn it on a CDR, not a DVD.

Turn on your deck, press map so you are looking at the map. Insert your CDR, and follow the prompts.

when i open the bluetooth update disc, it uses roxio automatically, but the one from Pioneer, i am downloading and just copying it to the disc.

will the 2wire bypass be in the web site you gave me
