First of all, I'm not sure exactly when I'll have a chance to fix it, but my mute wire appears to be in rough shape and is not popping into place. Is it possible to put another connector on it, or what should I do?? Thanks.

Buy a new pin and put it on, or go to a car audio shop and see if they have an extra similar Pioneer harness and use one of the wires from it

Dan, you can use any of the unconnected wires as long as it's out of the whte connector blocks... "Remote Turn on" rings a bell as a spare I never used
to ground the Parking brake and Cell Mute wires, can this go into any ground? There seems to be lots of different grounds.
Im looking at tapping into PIN5 of the Connector 2. That seems to be ground too. Is this the correct method?

Ground should be ground...I took both the Parking Brake and the Cell Mute to the ground in the factory harness. When I first hooked it up (before I had the proper RCA #2 harness) I took my grounds right to a bolt that I put through a piece of metal behind the dash, that worked as well.
My Z1 shipped without the #2 harness, so once I finally got it, I went back in and cleaned everything up, and that's when I sent all ground wires to one common ground (the factory harness ground). Hope that helps.
I tried to reconnect the mute wire in the #2 connector harness and broke the harness near the #1 pin on the plastic. Anyone have a spare they want to let go of for someone in a pinch. Not looking for any freebies (unless you just want to let one go) but don't want to go overboard either with Pioneer parts dept.
HELP !

Brian,
You can get the #2 harness off e-bay for $34 instead of going through Pioneer.
i have the avicz1 08/06...and i got the light green wire and use solder wire to melt it onto the light green wire....then u wrap it to the grounder...put all them against metal
it should work
The bypass worked like a champ on my Z2. Dont be alarmed in the stats scrren under signal strengh as the parking brake will state engaged after the mod lol

I just updated my instruction page. Please feel free to read this and let me know if I could make something more "clear" or easier to understand.
This is officially my first post on this msg board... Hello everyone. I do not as of yet own a AvIC Z1... but i am looking to do so in the next few months... Just came here for info.. I just printed out the above link. Thanks for the info. One question- Does doing this bypass void warentee on the radio?

u know whats funny was that yesterday i did the bluetooth update....then i went to ground the line.....lol i grounded the tel/mute line and i was like wtf!??!!? and then i realized it wasnt the right connector....lol back to the rip apart phase of it! ok but the one thing i want to know is how different is the z3 interface from the z1? or is it just navigation differences? im thinking of doing the drive upgrade but if its nothing big i dont even care for it......the one thing i would like is upping the space on the drive. i have a few laptop drives that are over 100 gigs would they work?

not if you put the wire bak to its original slot before sending it in 
Hi all! I just received my Z2 and am attempting to do the bypass. I bought my z2 used, it seems a bit different than the harness depicted on the bypass instructions. The instructions say that the last four slots on harness 2 should be empty.
On my (used) harness there is a black and yellow wire coming out of the second pin from the right on the top row. Any ideas what this might be?
Thanks!
The picture is not very clear, but it looks like someone may have already moved the mute wire for the bypass.
isnt the bypass supposed to be in the bottom right open space? this one is in the top left.
Hmmm no matter what I do, I can't get the bypass to work. It is a Z2 with a manufacture date of June '07. I am grounding the light green wire coming out of the black power harness, and also the bottom right pin on connector 2. But still those elusive Address Search and POI Search Buttons remain greyed out.
I wonder if it has something to do with the fact that I am trying to do this inside at my desk and none of the other wires are hooked up. Right now all i have hooked up are the power wires and those described in the bypass. I am grounding them by putting the other end of the wire into the grounding socket hole of a wall outlet.
Any suggestions at all guys? I would hate to rip apart my dash, get this installed only to find out I still can't bypass it.
Thanks in advance.
Pete
The 2 wires need to be grounded to the -12v (ie, the same as the black wire). "Grounding" it to the house wiring will not do anything.
Woo hoo! Works perfectly.
Garret, I think we need to get you some kind of AVIC hero award

CHeers,

Oh sweet Jesus. 
You are a brave soul, sir.
Information on this thread is fantastic though. I imagine a Z1 upgraded with a Z3 hard drive still acts the same with the 2-wire bypass?

Brave or completely clueless. Most likely the latter. The Z1 (or Z2) upgraded to a Z3 does indeed still work with the 2-wire bypass.
CHeers!

Great! Thanks.
This AVIC z1 bypass worked great! Thanks 
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
I have tried everything and I can not get dick to load in my Z1.Everytime it just sits there and says CD rom inserted. Does any one have any ideas.Build date is March 06.
