I've been lurking around these forums for some time now, and finally finding conclusive information on how to bypass the safety interlocs on the AVIC Z1 convinced me to go ahead and buy one.

I especially want to send out a big thank you to ducatiboy for answering so many questions and putting out so much hard work to find the answers to so many different questions.

I wanted also to mention that I took ducatiboy's instructions from http://www.sminntech.com/z1flash.html and made a Microsoft Word document that can be printed and given to an installer as a set of instructions on how the AVIC Z1 should be installed to bypass the safety interlocks. I revised ducatiboy's instructions a bit to be more like an installation document you'd actually get with some electronic equipment.

If anyone is interested, and ducatiboy has no objections, I can post the DOC, or perhaps provide it as a PDF. I see it being used by anyone, like myself, who isn't comfortable installing the Z1 themselves and is having it done by a professional installer. Let me know

If you would like, email me the doc at one of my email addresses: http://www.sminntech.com/contact.html and I would be happy to host a file and I'll post the link. I'm all for a better written document. If it cuts down on the questions and helps people understand what to do, I'm all for it. I don't always come through clearly... at least this is what I gather due to all the questions I get :)

You guys feel free to read this and tell me what you all think:

You might need to right click on that link and do a "save as" and then open it after you downloaded it. Maybe a PDF file would be more "clickable".

Sorry, still getting the "Not Authorized" error.

How about this link?

Well of course your link works. But the doc and pdf files should work too. They work on mine, I can re-download them and view them. Don't know why you can't. Anyone else have problem with the links?

I also uploaded the DOC for anyone who wants to download it.

I had no problem accessing the link on Ducatiboy's page.

DOH! I found the problem, it was on my end. My security software was being a little too over zelous and not warning me about it. Fixed, everything is working as it should.
