lol we dont know any more then you do

but ill bet you that bypass only worked for 1 day and now ur nav is calibrated and no more bypass for you

Ya its not working anymore. What do u mean by no more bypass? How can i get it bypassed then?

there is no bypass for Z2 yet

So if i downgrade to a Z1 will i be losing alot? Or cud i upgrade the Z1 so it wud be just like the Z2?

I roll my eyes because this information is readily available if you'd just take a couple seconds and read. Look at the stickys for crying out loud. Or even search..... its so annoying seeing posts like yours asking questions that are asked and asked and which the answers to such questions are so easy to find if you'd just do a little leg work.

BUT!..... to answer your question... YES you can upgrade a Z1 to a Z2 but the software is NOT out yet.

And to answer your question...

So if i downgrade to a Z1 will i be losing a lot?

You would only lose 1. Z2 - 1 = Z1.

But they are very similar. There is some features and map updated to the Z2, but most people, if you downgraded their Z2 to Z1 software before they were given the Z2, they wouldn't notice. But you can bypass a Z2 if it thinks it's a Z1.

Or could I upgrade the Z1 so it would be just like the Z2?

You can now by taking the files off a Z2 hard drive and writing them to the Z1's hard drive. There is no official pioneer update yet, that's coming some day.

Alright appreciate the help. Ya i didnt want you to answer the question again cuz i already read the information. That question mark was for the loser that posted the smiley face.

LoL, yeah im the loser but yet I knew the answer. Go away, life is too hard for you.

Oh ya it definley is. Thanks for your input.

Ahh man forget it. Alright dude, mybad for not reading it. Forgive me.

My e-brake cable broke a few weeks ago, and I still haven't gotten it fixed. I plan on buying a Z2 within the next few days. Can I just drive with my brake up and use the NAV/DVD? The cable is completely snapped, but the sensor still works.

Just curious.

That will work for, at most, 50 miles. Than the Z2 will realize that you are moving due to the GPS antenna and the VSS and internal gyros and lock you out and also pop up a warning about your parking brake not hooked up correctly and not only will it no longer work, you will get an extra pop up warning message about your parking brake every single time you start the car (even if you disengage the parking brake) until you reset the Z2. So no it really doesn't work.

I would be happy with 50 miles, lol

unfortuantely, mines pop up in less than a quarter mile..

It's 50 miles from brand new. Once it pops up the first time, it will pop up every time after that within about a quarter mile. It only works when the unit is new for up to 50 miles or so.

Well, I just bought my Z2 today. Hopefully I can get it installed within the next week, but has anyone found a way to bypass this thing yet!

I keep seeing all these people selling instructions on ebay saying they know how to bypass it, but I don't really trust people on ebay. Opinions...?

Read any of the last 28 pages.

....hmm never thought of that

Guess not.

my rep said it would be available in a few months, but will require a cd-key attached to serial number on the unit itself and that we would have to generate the key via new pioneer intranet only accessible to authorized pioneer dealers. price set at 250 plus shop labor

keeping in mind the only difference between z-1 and z-2 is the software someone should really go through and read ALL the software and compare differences in software concerning both models if we can isolate the lines of code refering to "lockout functions" we should get a software bypass from re-writing the code

That simple, huh

meh lets do that again

btw did any of you just try to copy the map partition from Z2 on to Z1

i think that may work did that with my N1 before

Is this anything new:

or does it just unlock the DVD video and not the navigation?

Anyone try this?

He gets all positive feedback for his 2 different methods.

Is this anything new?

Thoughts?
