OK, I just got a hold of that disk. But haven't tried it yet. From what I

understand if you stick it in to a Z2, it will take 10 minutes and make it

bypassable and nothing else changes. If you stick it into a Z1, it will take

hours and make it into a bypassable Z1. But I don't have a Z2 to test this

myself. I wanted to backup my Z1 before updating my personal one.

I know you haven't done the upgrade yet but do you know if you're gonna need to insert an activation code during the process? I hope this hasn't already been answered. Last I read, only the Z2 does not require activation. If it will require the activation, we can probably write a Z2 image into the HDD and then do the update, right? In theory that should work. I still have the June Z2 image I downloaded from rage2 last week if you would like to go this route after you find out about the activation for Z1s.

I'm going to try it tonight. If it needs an activation code I'm stuck. I have a Z2 image I can stick on and then do the update if I wish, I just might do that too. But I was told no code for the Z2's.... will check when I try it in my Z1.

If Im understanding this correctly, will this work on an upgraded z1? My bypass stopped working when I upgraded. (flashers upgrade) I hope so.

Upgraded what to what?

1st Gen Z1 - > Bluetooth Updated Z1?

Either Z1 -> 1st Gen Z2?

 

If you're asking if this disc will allow a unit to bypass by flashing the lights, I'm gonna say 'no', even though I have no direct evidence of that.

 

I know it wont work I upgraded from z1 to z2 and the bypass for z1 doesn't work anymore.

 

Everyone knows the flashers bypass won't work anymore because it puts the bluetooth update on the Z1.

 

After you use the Z1 to Z2 upgrade does the 2 wire bypass still work?

 

That is the only question still left unanswered.

oh ok I don't know yet I'm going to try it next week.

So I have a question. Would it really be illegal to share the image with current Z2 owners?

The disk is to update Z1's to Z2's. Those of us with Z2's aren't gaining anything, except the bypass (hopefully). If they are controlling pirating by requiring a key to update Z1's and no key for Z2, then I would think that they don't really care if you use it to update your Z2.

I posted up on isohunt to see if anyone has this dvd

More confimation pls... Wondering whether I should buy my Z2 yet or not.

also does audiovideodimension.com sell Z2s with the disc installed, is that correct? If so, anyone have any experience with them? They seem to sell em pretty cheap too

I just heard from a Pioneer rep that the upgrade software is gonna be posted on Pioneer's website real soon. That's from a Pioneer rep..... Keep an eye on the site.

Wasn't already posted under upgrade disc or are you talking about something else?

The disc I was told about is the one that you supposedly have to buy for $250. I'll post in here when I found out more. I'm sorry to tease, but that's all the info I have for now.

This is GREAT news! can I hear you say YEEEAAAYAAAA!

didnt we have a bypass bounty going? why dont we pool that money together and by a DVD and burn an image for everyone? everyone that offered money can just pool together for that DVD. just a thought, chew on it for a bit and let me know what you think.

ummmm we alredy have the DVD

now we just need to crack it so Z1 ppl can use it

Another Pioneer rep on another forum that I frequent just confirmed that the upgrade disc will be available from Pioneer's website as a FREE download. He said next Thursday it should be up on the site.

Hmm.... I dont think thats entirely accurate. Maybe a free download for z2 owners, but for the z1 guys, I think they would still be required to pay for some key of some sort. I mean, look at the fellas who have already shelled out the 250 - 260 dollars for the upgrade disk.

This thread is about the Z2. That's the model I speak of

Oh, well in that case, cool. I would hope they would give the current z2 owners the update for free.

Me too. Especially since they're selling $1,800 head units that freeze up when they get hot, then say NTF.

Does this work on the US of A disk

probably, but that disk number will only work once. after that it won't generate any more numbers unless you have a new disk number. but i bet the disk could still be used for the bypass..... hhmmm

Hey jonyb if you find out anything else or find the update on pioneer's site let us know

This is the US site to generate the password.
