New units working with the z-1 bypass! Look for new units with yellow sticker by the serial number. Beware buying from the Internet, you have no way of knowing if it's new enough to have the sticker, or one of the old ones.
Bypass is the same as the Z-1 ground pin trick
Support your specialty store!
I have grounded the parking brake wire on my Z2 and get video and maping functions up to 15 MPH but then the internal gyro senses movment and greys out all mapping functions and turns off the video for DVD movies.
WHat does the Z1 bypass do that this doesnt?
The rumor is that the update to the Z2, this is the latest software that is shipping from the factory. These latest Z2's are supposed to be bypassable using the same 2 wire grounding method as the newer Z1's. There is nothing "different" in the bypass but the Z2's are supposed to be different. Have not seen any personally, but that's not saying much. Hope all this is true.
Great, now how do we know if any internet stores have the latest version and how do we know if they're lying? 
I wonder what are the odds of being able to use an image off of one of these new by-pass unit to by-pass the "outdated" Z2's.
I wonder how much a slightly used Z2 mark I can fetch on ebay? 
The yellow stickers that we found were only on the master shipping cartons that the distributer gets on the pallets. The Z2 that we got from those is bypassable. The sticker is a small yellow circle, about a half inch in diameter. The older ones had the same sticker in white. The shipment we got had no yellow stickers on the individual boxes.
By the way coocho...... he may be an idiot or he may just be naive. It's good to see that you are still a jackass like always though. You must be overwhelmed at how clever you are. It's always such a joy to hear your wisdom.
Coocho is on a role tonight
ok pass out the bypass file please 
I wonder what are the odds of being able to use an image off of one of these new by-pass unit to by-pass the "outdated" Z2's.
I haven't tried it yet, but I would bet that the odds are 100%. I'll bet if you unlocked both drives and stick them in a PC and then do a copy of all files from the new one to the "outdated" one, it will be bypassable when you put the drives back in the unit.
We just need someone who has one of these new units to unlock their drive and make a drive image and post the files for us.
OH, THE JOY! To think once and for all those god forsaken warning messages might go away???? OMG, I H A T E those things. Anxiously await an image!! Guess once I pull drive to load a new image on it, that's my opportunity to research a bit further on copying MP3s directly to the drive

ALL THE? No only the parking brake is not connected correctly message. All the other pop ups will still happen, but everything will work all the time (if this update is really true).
still does not sound good for those of us who purchased them as soon as they released........

I bet it will work on Z1s also.
how about selling us the new bypassable Z2, wellknown-n-da-biz?
I'll buy one heh.
Anyone know where the new ones are at
Any updates on this? I have a z2 from first shippment. Cant wait to get rid of the pbreak popup and get some nav functionality while im driving.
We are working on it... give it a couple weeks, and I'll bet anyone will be able to update their Z1's or their Z2's.
Trust me, when this comes out no one will miss it. You will know when it comes out.
LOL, i think you told me that back in April. Just give it a few weeks. LOL. I can wait, no problem.

Talk about bad timing! LOL... I just had my Z2 installed a couple of weeks ago, and my serial number sticker on the box says "May" - ROFL
I'll wait patiently for the more advanced to figure it out... and my installer is waiting patiently too!
So you want to save a little money and buy off the internet? You'll get the old Z2 pre-production june 07. It's the only dumping ground to get rid of the Z2's that can't be bypassed. The specialty dealers have the ability ( and you know who your dealing with) to look you in the face across the counter, when your giving over your hard earned savings, that this is the newest version and it will work. Internet Dealers for the most part are like buying sex on a busy drag during sting operations. You don't know who your dealing with, and they could care less if you get ripped off. After the cash is deposited, your just another statistic.
Seriously, what you saved on the internet versus bying legit, only gets you an overpriced doorstop!
Hey Wellknown-n-da-biz can you actually confrim the June units bypass. Also what store do you know of that have it already, because I have been to major sotres like Best Buy, Ciricuit City and others and they do not even cary the unit.
