Ive read countless posts in the z1/z2 forum about people who need help with the "backyard bypass" that is currently being used by many people who cant wait for a true bypass for the z2. What strikes me as completely insane is that many of these people are installers and they are using this method on customer cars.

My question is this.... what the hell are you doing? Why would you even consider using this hack job of a method on a paying customers car? Is the customer fully aware of what this bypass entails? Or are you merely saying "yeah we can bypass it, sign this release and I'll do it..." If that is the case then how can you even morally provide that service? Knowing full well that this is NOT a true bypass. And then, when this method doesnt work we see "help! Its a pissed off customers car!"

Shady business if you ask me.

I don't think too many "reputable" installers who are on this forum are doing this or would even answer you. But I agree with you. They did it on the Z1's (even with a real bypass out there) and they will do it on the Z2's. Just got to get the customer out the door.

Exactly my point. And the "reputable" part was more sarcasm then anything else, as I dont consider these people reputable at all.

EDITED: And in other news this thread http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6450 is getting more and more interesting and looks to be quite promising. I say this with a bit of a biased opinion though, as I honestly believe the bypass solution is in the software as well as with the p-brake ground.

i personally would not do half ass bypass period. in fact i will not do the bypass for customers at all. only for people i know. if someone really wants the bypass done, i'll tell them how to do it and let them be responsible. too much liability. you know dam well if they have an accident and get sued, shit runs downhill, and your at the bottom of it

Yep I don't bypass anything. If I do it, it's done right and that's it. Now if the customer decides to do the bypass themselves that's their perogative.
