I dont see why it would be any different. It all depends on the laws in your country pertaining to this. The reason why all nav units have a hidden bypass is so the retail shops can demo the units in thier demo boards. However it is not legal in the US to operate routeing or dvd functions while driving your car. If the UK hs laws forbidding such hidden bypass capabilities in the units then it may not work as the US units do.

The European model of the Z1 just needs the parking brake grounded, so you may try that first. Simple enough to try

Most stores actually just hook the parking brake up to ground. That's all that's needed to have full functionality when "parked".
