SWEET its about time

There is a new Gracenote CDDB version released.

Does this update affect the Ducatiboy bypass?

No

this update will bypass the Z2

LOL

no for real

I dont know if this was posted before but for some reason I was not able to bypass the unit till I updated it two days ago with the gracenote patch released back in march. I didnt know that was supposed to affect the unit in any way. Can anybody confirm this? Thanks.

actually the update applied on my unit is the one listed by the thread starter. it is dated march of 2007.

and what did you do to bypass the unit? Is it the 2 wire ground?

We know an update can change the bypass and it's absolutely easy for them to add a bypass update to this disk. But is this true?

Maybe Pioneer wants to get the bounty we started.

But seriously.... if this is a joke, it's not real funny. People read this stuff and take it as gospel. If this is a joke, please edit your posts, or I can. If it's real please tell people so. Otherwise all this is doing is generating confusion.

Just a little heads up on the GN update, make sure you've got a good 10 -15 minutes for this thing to do its stuff. So, just having the vehicle on without the engine on, might not be a good idea.

An interesting thing I found though, theres a text file in the update that refers to Z1 something or other. Not sure if its a huge deal, but I thought it was interesting to see that reference in software thats supposed to be for a z2. For those that dl'd the zip file, the z1 reference is in that .txt file thats part of the dl.

I was wrong. the bypass did not work. I actually paid someone to do the bypass for me but I guess my unit doesnt work well with it. sorry everyone for any confusion.

Your bypass guy prolly screwed up if you have a Z1 and it's not working right.

what about the built date. maybe mine is not bypassable. right? i have to check into it.

All build dates of the Z1 are bypassable, but to do it you need to know what the date is and if you have installed the bluetooth update cd. All instructions are here:

If you follow those instructions, all Z1's are bypassable and the bypass is VERY reliable.

I did the patch above and was going to do the bluetooth as well. Im going to check the built date. Thanks.

ok. i received the bluetooth update in the mail today from pioneer and gave it a try. After that, I decided to the reset the unit and its been working pretty good ever since, incluiding bypass. Now I have a question do I need to flash the lights every time I start the car? And what happens if I dont flash the lights at one time, will I have to reset the unit again? Cause that sucks.

BTW: mine was built in june of 2006.

Thanks again guys.

June 06 you needed to flash the lights before the bluetooth update.

After you install the bluetooth update, you ground 2 wires and that's all you have to do. No more flashing.

awesome Mr. ducati

i think it works like it should now. couldnt be happier

I did the Gracenote update and now my 2 wire bypass is not working on my Z1, I also get the parking brake error at startup and does not go away with soft reset?

Anyone else have this problem?

try a reset

Oh I cant believe it but yeah, after bluetooth update everything works just great, voice/bluetooth & bypass. Awesome.

Can anyone else confirm or deny this?

I installed the update today and all my Nav menu options are still available while driving. No Parking brake error either. It seemed to take longer than the previous update, about 20 to 25 minutes.

Is this latest update for the Gracenote, for the Z1 or the Z2?
