ok 55 times.. 12 seconds between times, laptop in car and hoping that everything will work out.. haha, see how desperate I am??

worked for me on first try

Thank you

ok while I am updating I can tell you that I did do 1 little thing before this. There was and update to the gracenote that I installed, would this make a difference??

To those of you that have successfully updated yours, did you have a previously unlocked drive? I'm looking for someone that has a stock Z2 that was able to successfully update theirs...

Thanks,

Dave

Shouldn't. As far as I know this disc doesn't have any gracenote information on it to conflict with.

Did you try hitting the reset button?

I installed that gracenote update when it first came out and I had no problem at all with the update not 1 retry! I would try downloading it again on a different computer.

ME <<<<

rite here

with no problems

stock Z2 only updated the gracenote database.

Hyperite, you are the MAN! Thank you for figuring this out. I vote you get the bypass bounty for packaging this in a way that's easy for us Z2 guys to update... even if it is technically Pioneer's bypass.

Thanks again! Going outside now to update mine.

Dave

ok, so I am going to be doing this tommorow.

one question,

I already have my 2 wires hooked grounded on my Z2, should I worry that doing the update with them grounded could screw something somehow?

or am I just thinking too much?

Nope, you can either ground the wires before or after running the update, but before the bypass works you just need to press the reset button on the faceplate.

ok now for the funny part, we just did this in my neighbors.. It loaded right away.. now just to do the 2 wire bypass mod.. yeah!!

sorry but does anyone have the direct link to the 2 wire bypass mod?

nm did a search and found it.. thanks again guys!!

The update went flawlessly. It took less than 10 minutes. It rebooted and the time and volume settings (beep, guidance, etc.) were set to defaults, but all other settings were retained. Do I still need to hit the reset button? It seems like it reset itself. I can't test the 2-wire bypass until tomorrow when it's light out.

I just did thye update from Hyperite's download and instructions. My Z2 is an Apr 07 build. Can't remember if my software was Version 1. but now it's reading Ver 2. However, I couldn't tell if it updated or not because it never said one way or the other. After I inserted, it said CD-ROM inserted and nothing else. Checked Service Info in Settings and now says Ver 2.

I don't have the 2-wire installed yet, so can't say it's bypassed. Any comments?

Did you hit map, and answer yes to the update question? It goes through some gyrations that take about 10 minutes. if you didn't see that, it's not updated (yet).

If you start driving and it says the parking brake is improperly connected, you need to press the reset button. If not (and I'd be surprised if not) then you're good to go!

I think you skipped step 3 of my instructions

Ok, then I guess it's back outside. Thanks Dave!

Thanks Hyperite! I am so much happier to have functionality while driving!

Just wanted to post another sucess story!

Stock Z2, MFG April 07, used the posted ISO, drive is still locked, went flawless.

Can anyone confirm whether or not the June Z2's will require this update to be bypassable or if they already contain the updated files that are necessary to allow it to be bypassed? My Z2 just got here over the weekend and it has a June 2007 build date on it. I've read where people think they might be but I haven't read where anyone has tried to bypass a June unit.

I can confirm that it is required, that's why the subject of this thread even specifies Pre- and Post-June devices.
