so for the nag screen when starting app mode or watching video, it seems there will need to be another mod made to av.exe - will be some time before I can look into this one, but others are welcome to work on this puzzle also in the mean time

Hello Pionara,

I rencently did this soft parking brake mod....

It works excellent so i want to thank you for your efforts writing the instruction.

The only problem is that the video function will still be lock out while i'm driving. Would you please look into this issue and share the offset to hack it to us? Thank you again

does this parking brake hex code still work on the z130bt newest firmware or is there no video? any luck on getting the nag screen code or does anyone have it that they can pm me?

any help would be greatly appreciated

thanks!!

Hello, new to this forum.

I have an X950BH - when i purchased it I was chatting with the tech (told him I was looking at the hardware mod) and he directed me towards this site, since i had not seen a software PB bypass on this unit, I was prepared to do the hardware mod, I would REALLY rather carry out a soft mod if possible but I still cannot find one for this unit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated !

I disagree. Do the hard mod (harness) once and you are finished. With a soft mod, you will be in the same boat after every update and upgrade. Pionora is the only one who understands the (Z110/z140) code enough to do the hack. He doesn't even have the same hardware (Z150/x950) is totally different code) - so I wouldn't count on him coming to rescue every time there's an update.

I have a Z130BT with the 2013 maps and applied this mod successfully to my unit.

You have to search for the hex values and not the locations.

I have a Z120BT with the 2015 maps.

• Offset 15AEFC did not match the first post data, but I found the pattern at 15B02C.
• Changing offset 15B02C from 02 00 56 E3 to 09 00 56 E3 made the SAFE MODE menu button appear in the settings menu.  Safe mode button appears to retain the setting when the car is switched on/off but neither setting prevents the parking brake warning from appearing on boot up.
• Changing offset 15AEE8 from 01 10 A0 E3 to 00 10 A0 E3 made no difference that I could tell.
• There are many pattern matches for "01 10 A0 E3" so I guessed wildly --  The pattern for Safe Mode was 130 hex offset higher than the original offset referenced in this post.
• 15B018 = 130 hex offset higher than 15AEE8, AND it has the pattern we are looking for... but modifying this offset made no difference that I could perceive either.

Does anyone have any information about how to pursue this further?  I would like to avoid tearing my dash apart to find out what the installers did wrong with the parking brake wiring.  (The deck was installed several years ago for the previous owner, so taking it back to the installer and making them fix it is not an option unless I want to pay).  I don't care about watching videos... ever.  I would just like to have the radio just come on and work without having to acknowledge the parking brake prompt every time.  Yes, perhaps this makes me lazy... or just a quirk.    

Hi,

for me the hard wire mute move bypass is not working at all, so i want to try the sof bypass in order to get the parameter not greyed anymore !!

But i can't find the offsets mentioned but instead i can find 15AEE0 and not 15AEE8 for exemple with the correct pattern right after.

Do you think like mentioned by 8987846 in post 36 that there is a typo or a new seeting?

Thanks for your help,

Treker
