i did reset and first time parking break warning didnt pop up, but when i was moving it poped up... so is there anythinkg that im missing??

That means that the parking brake sense wire is grounded and the second wire (wire #2 in connector 2 as seen here: http://www.sminntech.com/z1flash.html#newbypass ) is NOT grounded. You have to relocate a wire and stick it into that location and then ground it. You either did not do it or you did it incorrectly or the terminal on the end of the wire you relocated is defective. But what you describe is exactly what happens when you don't ground that second wire.

and can u play dvd when bypass??

Yes you can, all functions while moving or not... everything available all the time.

thanks ducatiboy!!! i will fix it and let u know it worked or not...

one more question... after updateing and when i use bluetooth phone system, people said that it echo's more the befor so is the update change some for the bluetooth stuff or not??? or is there any new update for the bluetooth echo fix??

should the 2 wire bypass be done before or after you upgrade the z2? or does it not matter?

once the bypass is done will the rear view camera work?

is it possible to hook up the pioneer vehicle dynamics processor?

thanks

It doesn't matter when you do the bypass.

Yes, the rear camera will work.

No, you cannot hook up the vehicle dynamics processor

man that sucks, i really wanted to get that. i wonder why it will work with the z1 and not the z2, maybe cuz we did the bypass it will work?

The vehicle dynamics processor does not work with any Pioneer nav systems...Only screens without nav.

hay guy i fix the 2nd wire and i try it and it good!!! it BYPASSED!!!! thanks for all the help u guy gave me!!!! once again thank you so much!!!!

Wondering if anyone can help me> I used Roxio to burn the iso on a cd-rom (data) and when i insert into the unit it tells me theres a cd-rom inserted and then when i hit "map" nothing happens at all. I checked the disc and the file is on there. So im not sure what im doing wrong

There is no doubt that you have done a lot of work to help us all solve the Z2 bypass problem. I want you to know that it is appreciated. After reading your post, I have some problems doing what you said I should.

Method One

1. I downloaded the zip file and extracted the file. The file is 20 mg. I am having issues with coping to a CD for some reason. That is my problem.

2. I don't understand the hard drive unlock. If there is a command for it I can't find it.

3. The rest, if I get this far should be easy.

4. One thing I noticed in looking at sminntech is that it is for the Z1. Is it also for the Z2?

Method Two

1. I downloaded the 30mg file and burned the CD.

2. I inserted the disk into the drive and pushed MAP, NOTHING HAPPENS.

So I can not go any further. Is there a place to push UPDATE which I can not find.

3. The rest is easy maybe if I get that far.

Maybe you could fill in the missing links for me and others.

Thanks much Mike

On method Two I had the same problem what you need to do is first make sure the you burn the download from here http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4T5MBJL7

onto a cd as an Image try roxio they shoud have something there that says burn an Image cd or something like that next when you turn on your z2 wait till it loads press the map button press ok on the disclamer and then insert your cd. That should do the trick.

I burned mine as a data disc, so I need to burn as an image disc?

Yup the data disc will not work your z2 will say cd rom inserted but nothing will happen use roxio for an IMAGE disc that will work.

The vehicle dynamics processor does not work with any Pioneer nav systems...Only screens without nav.

are u sure, i was on pionners website and was looking at the dynamics thing, and the avic z1 was listed as being compatible with it.

TY Ivan very much...I will try tonight and let you guys know.

Positive. Pioneer navs don't have an RGB input, and thats how the VD processor outputs its picture

o shit i over looked the NOT part, damn i really wanted to hook this up

Hey, just as a note... I just did an Z2 install for a friend, and the 2 wire ground trick did the job without even doing the software update / patch.... I've tested DVD's / NAV at full acceleration, even playing a DVD with the NAV directing me towards an address (it would flash over for a couple seconds before each turn and notify me, then flip back to the DVD). Drove around for about 5 minutes for the first test, and everything looks AOK (no warning messages, or video problems at all). Thanks guys for the awesome site, and great advice!

I was starting to get really worried about this unit when grounding the parking didn't completely work at first, but now I absolutely love this unit!

I have three questions. Has anyone had a problem with the bypass hurting the gyro? Someone had told me that at a install place. Reading all the posts it seems like that is a false statement. I live in Texas and it gets hot in my truck. This Z2 has been not been coming up until it is cool in the truck and you repower it up. The place who put it in is replacing it because it has been getting worse, but I was just wondering if anyone else had that problem? I just read a post about vehicle dynamics not working. Is that just a Z1 upgrade that it does not work on or do you lose vehicle dynamics with the bypass. Thanks.

The bypass has nothing to do with the gyro, you need to find a more honest installer. It also has nothing to do with Vehicle Dynamics.

There are other threads on here that talk about the heat related issues with Z1/2s

We posted this in troubleshooting forum, but I wasn't sure if we should post here as well. We've had severe issues w/ Pre-July Z2 bypasses where the navigation screens go into a qwazi Demo mode. This was confirmed by a pioneer technical representative to be a GLITCH or a bug in the update software where they were going to release a patch. Has anyone else run into this yet and does anyone else have a work around on it.

It's definately installed 100% correct and has happened to us on 3 seperate installs with 4 seperate units. Please advise if this 'bug' has been corrected on the bypass download?

I did the Update dick on my Z2 and I had the installer do the bypass on it when I had the unit installed.. I'm still get the parking brake error when i leave the switch on now... can someone help me!!

... well, that's one problem

Here's your answer: The installer didn't do the bypass correctly.

I'll take my car back in and have the installer redo the bypass.. and sorry about the type o ... I'm not really big on doing spell checks!!!

Thanks again
