So I will be getting my Z2 next week. What are the the must have/best mods/hacks to do?

 

Sounds like the Z3 upgrade and a HDD upgrade, but whats the bypass? The tutorial is nice but not sure what it does Also want to be able to watch DVD's as the car is in motion. Maybe thats the bypass?

 

Anyways, looking for the best/must have hacks/mods.

 

Thanks guys

hard drive unlock

z3 upgrade

gracenotes update

xm channel logo update - vandal

remove pioneer banner and copyright from splashscreen

 

Bypass allows video, address input, poi search, etc while driving.

HD unlock allows me to add a bigger HDD right?

 

Whats the gracenotes update?

 

I have Sirius, so I would want to go with the Sirius adaptor rather then the XM.

the hd unlock allows you to access the hard drive on a PC to do the other mods.

 

Gracenotes is the database used when ripping CD's to identify song titles, etc.

 

The Sirius interface is very blah compared to the XM interface. You can get XM for $77 a year on promo.

I dont really care for XM, even though they're the same, I only listen to Stern and some music channels so the promo rate probably wouldnt apply.

 

Does anyone have any screen shots of the XM tuner and the Sirius tuner?
