I'd say, judging by the broken English and the fact that there are references to the 710 & 910, that it is unlikely to be anything that will work.

However, with that said, if you want to give it a try, by all means do. If it works, I'd be glad to split the cost with you so can you recoup some of your investment.

same here ,I am willing to split that cost as well .

BTW ,how does everyone like their Z110BT ? those who already have theirs up running should post a quick review

Well,

I was going to try to remove the mute wire/pin and move it to each of the empty pin-out locations, and ground it with the parking brake. I'm sure it is probably something this simple--and just a process of elimination.

However!!! I can't figure out how to get the stupid pin to come out? The plug is not like the old series, or the F/X where you can just lift up a little clip and slide the pin out. This one is much smaller, and I can't figure it out.

If someone can tell me how to do it, I'll test each of the 7 empy slots and see if any of them give us the result we're looking for.

you lift up the center plastic peice as far as you can. You can't take it all the way out because the wires run through it. Once you have the pressure released from that center plastic piece, push a single straightened out staple into the small hole above the bigger of the two. It will go in about a third of an inch. That will release the catch on the pin and you can then wiggle the wire from the harness.

I have not had a chance to go over every option but so far I really like my new unit, So much faster and a new touch on the nav with the turns kinda of nice. Over all I am very happy and will post a more in depth report.

Ok, ladies & gents, who wants to bypass their AVIC-Z110BT? I'll sell it to you for $1,000,000.00. Bwahhahaha! Just joking!

Unlike some of the folks who would screw us outta our dollars, here it is, in all its glory.

Step 1:

Take the MUTE wire, and move exactly one position over.

Step 2:

Then, as before, take that wire and tie it & and the green parking brake wire to ground.

Step 3:

Enjoy your Z to its fullest potential!

Special thanks to "daddy" who helped me out on figuring out how to pull the pins. And of course, this was the 5th of 7 open pins that I tried before I hit the gold-mine...but well worth the effort!

BTW, I used a super small jewelers screwdriver to pop it out, made it fairly easy, but still takes some effort. A heavy gauge staple (not the paper kind) would work also, but you're probably going to draw blood that way!

I've only tested to 45MPH since everything was still loose in my car, but I think we're good to go.

good work

i love you!

Dbnichols,you da man!! I am heading out to try it

SD,

Man, my car looks like shizzle right now with everything hanging out, but it sure was sweet to thow on an iPod music video while cruisin' down the road on my test run. Now, I've just gotta get it all put back together....

Of course, it would be awesome if I could have gotten one of the MSN Direct dealios to put in before I close it all up...apparently they're lagging behind on shipment.

Let me know how it goes on your end.

I have moved dbnichols' bypass instructions to it's own topic and made it sticky. Thanks dbnichols!!

I'm just glad I was able to contribute. This board has been a great resource for me over the years, and it feels good to be able to give something back.

-B-

I followed Dbnichols' instruction and the trick works !! I drove around for 30 minutes and brought the speed up to 70mph ,video played just fine .

Thanks again to DBnichols and others that has contributed to this tread.

And Z110BT rocks !! what an unit ,Sound Quality is awesome ,Navi is spot on accurate ,no glitch nor bugs on the OS after playing for 4 hours ,sound quality on bluetooth audio(paring with iphone 3gs) is surprisingly good as well.

Start time on this unit is about 10 seconds for the music ,25 seconds in full operation mode.

I'll paly with it more this weekend and come up with a more detailed review on it.

Way to go Dbnichols! I cannot wait to get my unit!

SD,

I tried pairing my iPhone with the 110 this evening, but it never seemed to see the phone. Were you able to get yours to work?

Yes,but took me couple tries ,I had to swtich bluetooth on and off on iphone when the paring wasn't succesful

OK,

Can anyone help me? I have tried this a few times but no luck.

I moved the pin over on,

I clipped the mute wire that is now in the moved pin to the Green Parking Break wire and clipped the green parking break wire to the ground.

I did not do the below but I am wandering.

Do I need to hook up the mute from my system to the mute wire I used?

What else could I be missing.

As far as I know the system resets every time I unplug it.

HELP

I really want ot get this fixed.

here is another bypass video I found

pretty much the same instructions

ok is it me?? I cant get the pin out for the life of me. I dont want to yank on it too hard.

whats the magic trick????

ok update, I got it out and reinserted on over.

How far in should it push. I see a little bit of the connector sticking out. Should it be further in or is that enough

It need to be pushed in further. It should look just like the other wires/pins.

the best I could do was to get it so the connector is even with the white part.

Any other ideas on how to insert it further?

You need to lift the plastic white bar on the top.

ok now I feel like an idiot..that makes sense!!!

aleicgrant,

Did you get yours working?

unfortunately it will be several days before I know. I had to send my harness off to be customized as a plug and play for my Audi.

will certainly post when I get a chance to install which should be mid to late next week
