Hello (My first post) I currently have a Z1 with the Bypass Module connected and it works fine, no turning lights off/on etc... I can watch movie and drive all my Navi buttons works. Now here's the problem I upgraded the hard drive to the Z3 HDD and now my Bypass Module doesn't work, I was told it only works on the Z1. My questions is, has anyone figured out how to get the Bypass Module to work with the Z3? I apologize if this has already been covered.

Read the locked stick post at the top of this forum. Updated Bypass Instructions for Z1, Z2, and Z3...

The Locked Stick Post didn't cover what I was looking for, maybe I didn't explain it right. Let me try again. I have a Bypass Module I didn't actually see it but I was told it was a box you connect to your unit (Z1) and you will be able to drive and watch DVD's and all your Navi functions will work while your drive, which is true I can do all of this. Now I have upgraded to the Z3 HDD and now this box (Bypass Module) doesn't work, when I took it back to the installer he said it only works on the Z1. So I was trying to find out if anyone was using this box and got it to work on the Z3 and if so how. Thanks

Reread the post (and link):

Your "module" will no longer work. You will need to use the '2 wire bypass' if you want full functionality again.

 

This is very common around these parts :)
