2 wire bypass only. No update required for the z3.

i just tried method 2,

however, it says update disk already updated

is there any other way besides doing method 1 now?

You could try the two-wire method. I just did mine and it was assed-out easy (lol hyperite).

"Already Updated" doesn't mean anything to you?

doesnt mean anything to me since it doesnt work

4. Press the recessed reset button once, and your Z2 is now 2-wire bypassable.

Make any sense now?

did that, doesn't work still

Then you did one of the wires wrong, probably the mute wire.

Mute wire Mute wire

How much you wanna bet the mute wire is the cuplrit? That's what had me hung up for a day or two...

AzNGR81,

Make sure that connector has been inserted all the way in to harness #2 and you should be good.

Ok yell at me all you want. I did the 2 wire bypass, light green grounded, inserted mute wire into pin and grounded it. I DO NOT get the ground wire installed improperly warning(did but fixed the ground). Copied disc as decribed and I also got the update already installed. I cannot get video even when sitting in my driveway in park with parking break and engine off, and I am locked out of nav control when in motion. And I assure you it is not the connector on the mute wire.

joey0909:

I know you think that you grounded that wire correctly, and most likely you did. Where most people have problems is in the connector itself. Either the terminal is not oriented correctly or it's not inserted all the way or something. But check and double check that connector. That's where every single problem I have seen has been. Trust me this procedure works and it works well. If it's not working then double check what you did. If you are still getting the pop up message, the only way to get rid of it is to press the recessed button to the right of the eject button (the button the opens the face of the Avic-Z1). This will lose your AM/FM radio presets but not much else.

Hello Friends, forgiveness by the question, probably already tired of it, but I am a bit dizzy.

I have a pioneer AVIC Z2 + pioneer ND-BT1. The AVIC z2 is July 2007.

When you install, I put a cable to the AVIC believe that the parking brake was activated, this time missing.

Then, unexpectedly stopped working, when you turn the unit said "was incorrectly identified a connection of his handbrake ...".

Specifically I have to do in order to view video while handling? without affecting the bluetooth and others?.

Already done that:

------------------- METHOD 2 (assed out easy )------------------

CDROM ISO!

1. Download this 30MB file: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=4T5MBJL7

2. Burn to CD or DVD as an image, not using built-in burning windows.

3. Insert in Z2, press Map, and run the update! (e-brake must be applied or wire grounded

4. Press the recessed reset button once, and your Z2 is now 2-wire bypassable.

and now I have to change back into the wires? I read the link http://www.sminntech.com/z1flash.html # newbypass, but do not understand, some simple explanation?.

Thank you very much

Basically, to make a long story short, take the light green wire, leave it connected to the wiring harness on the Z, and ground the other end to a bolt on an unpainted part of the vehicle. Move the mute wire that's hanging free from the connector on the left (as you look at the back of the z, it will be the yellow and black one and have a tag that says MUTE) to the pin that ducatiboy referenced in his walkthrough on the connector on the right. Then, ground that wire to the vehicle as well. Now you should be done!

Clear as mud?

Does the Z3 bypass the same as the Z2? Also i notice that Crutchfield is selling a Z2X model. What is this model about?

Yes, and dunno.

Z2X packages came with the back-up camera and bluetooth adaptor in the box for the same retail $

Hello, I do not understand does not understand and does not understand !!!!, you can clearly?:

1) The cable light green where it goes?.

I interpret that this cable will land.

2) cable Mut where it goes? I interpret that is used to place the pin on the end of the connector and exits in the image and the other end to earth.

Bone, the two grounded.

MORE IS NOT easy to put THAT THE TWO VAN cable ground and lists? ME crazy BY GOD! : (

To all this, speed sensor has to be connected? Perhaps WILL NOT GIVE mind that there are speed Z2?

^^

1) yes

2) yes

speed sensor, yes.

I did what you said and now light up when the car makes a discharge and subworfer make a strong sound!

Now I'm testing and discharge it seems that the pre-out has no land! before not to this.

I know you're just running machine translation from whatever language you speak, but it's not getting across very well. If you followed the english instructions, it'll work just like the thousands of people who have done it before you. Check your wires and try again.

the subwoofer shouldnt be making any loud sound....what exactly have you done so far???

Thank you for everything, connect the wires as is detailed in this post. Before reading this post, I had done ta bypass, as is the same as for other units as alpine.

The problem is that it works, but when it takes some time turn on the Z2 and I said "you have done a connections of the handbrake and blah blah .... ceases to operate ..."

ya your bypass isnt hooked up correctly. if you only hooked up the green wire, then you only did half the job. you hafta move the pin for the black n yellow wire and ground that out with the green wire. if you already did the black and yellow wire, then you either put it in the wrong connector, or the pin isnt properly secured in the right connector. check again and see.

OK, My Avic Z2 was made on july 2007, so i went to circuit city to get it installed and bypassed, but the guy told me that he couldn't bypass it because of the date it was done and there was no way to do it unless i go back to the Z1, and why would i want to do that? so im here out of luck until i found this website. great info. So i downloaded the update since it said post june, but when i inserted it in a screen popped up and indicated that there was no need to update.

so what should i do now?

anyone out there to help. i looked through the posts, but none that can help me out and frustration kicked in.

thanks!
