Probably a bad burn on the update. Try burning it again or call Pioneer and ask them to send you one
i tried doing the bluetooth download and the 2 wire mod... i had the installer do the 2 wire mod. but when insert the cd it just says there is a cd in it... and nothing happens.... i reset the head unit and the bypass worked for about 20 mins then came up with the parking brake message... can anyone help me out?
Parking brake wire, not reverse wire. Its the light green one
I am unclear on this (sorry). I have read several post...
I have a May 07 Z2.
I downloaded Z2BypassUpdate.iso and ran that. Was successful.
I took the cell phone mute wire and moved it to connector 2 in the corner and grounded it along with the reverse wire.
As far as I know it works except I still get the warning when popping in a DVD. Is this normal?
I am running it on the bench and would like to confirm its right before installing.
If the above is correct, should I do anything else? Does the BT update apply to this one?
Thanks !

Sorry was thinking about the reverse wire. but I meant parking brake.
So update done, and the new pin on connector 2 and parking brake grounded and I should be good to go?
Is the warning screen normal when starting a DVD movie?
Thanks !
Yep

yes....
K. Download the file. Put it on your desktop. It should be called something like AvicBluetoothFix.ISO
Download a program called Active ISO Burner, its free. Install it.
You will now notice that the avic file on your desktop looks like a CD. Double click it. Hit 'Burn ISO'
Thats it
Anybody have a diagram of what wire is the cell phone mute one? I lost my manual a while ago.

Is that actually written in there or are you going off of the picture? Also, is that grounded or do you have to pull it out of the connector, hook it to the new spot, and then ground the other end?

It's written in the service manual. These are pinouts as viewed looking into the sockets on the head unit.
AV connector 1 is on the left, Connector 2 on the right.
You can see the black/yellow cable in the upper-left slot of AV connector 1 (pin 20) Below. You need to take it out, move it to the bottom-right of connector 2 (pin 1) , then ground it.

You're a saint man, thank you. Any answer to my other question? I'd go check myself but I dropped the car off at the shop this morning.

I'm sorry I wasn't clear. One end of the yellow/black wire should go in Connector2,Pin1 and the other to ground -- you have to ground it yourself (i just soldered it to the black ground wire along with the e-brake wire).
Nah man, you were totally clear, I just completely overlooked the text between the pin diagram and the picture. Thanks again, I'm always impressed with how helpful the people on this forum are.

You're welcome! Good luck =D
Well after the frustration of realizing my installed decided not to connect connector 2, but the relief of finding it in the box, that was cake. Pull wire from one connector, move to other, extend with butt splice, bolt to chassis with e-brake wire. Money.
hi i bypassed my z2 and it only works for about 10 miles then it locks out again then i have to reset it is there any way around this??????????? or do i have to keep resetting it , thats sucks because i loose all my sound presets . Please help me out thanks
Then you did the bypass wrong. Re-read the instructions and double check your wiring

...so after all that reading, I still have a question... 
May 2006 refurbed Z1, just bought on e-bay...if I get Ducati-boy's circuit I should be good right?
So where does the Bluetooth update come in to play? Or is that just for the later 2006 units?

You don't need the circuit. Do the 2-wire bypass and run the bluetooth update .
Thanks Hyperite. I was getting confused because the circuit was recommended, then others said do the BT update...then I read that the BT update w/2wire bypass could hose some units and render them useless...I'll take your advice
