Thanks Hyperlite. Everything worked great. Took about 10 mins even w/ having to hit retry 15 times at 32%.

Not working for me.........

I burned the image using Alcohol 120. Inserted the disk and pressing map didnt seem to do anything. Pressed AV and that made it read the disk. I then got a message that said do you wish to update? I pressed yes. Then the screen said "reading disk." I then got another window that said "If you wish to install the update press yes. Pressing yes will disable all functions until install is complete. Or press no." And the only button that I can press is no.

Did I do something wrong? I havent connected any wires yet, nothing is grounded. I just planned on doing the software part today and then do the wiring part tomorrow.

Or did the update take? Did you guys have anything tell you it worked or not?

engage the ebrake

Okay, I'm electrically inept. I can make sense of what to do with wire #2 -- there's a picture for crying out loud. But, grounding the light green wire has me stumped. After I remove it from the clamp, how do you "ground" a wire. Do I need to mount it to the body/frame? Thanks.

And yes, mazdaspeed, this is the "rookie" again.

.......and the retard of the month award goes too..... (drum roll)..... BRANDON402!!! YAY........ Thanks wikked.... im a moron.

Thats ok, if you cant laugh at yourself, then you have no business making fun of others, nor do you have any business laughing at anyone else. So.... heres to me.. "hahahahaha look at the idiot!!! hahahahahah...." rofl.

I copied the file down onto a CD from the site. Inserted the CD into the Z2 and hit the 'map" button. Nothing happened.

Questions.

Do I need to unlock the hard drive first?

After hitting the 'map' button do I have to hit another button?

Do I have load the al the files in one directory of just he 'sdata" folder with all the sub folders and files?

HELP Please

works great.. thank you very much .. did it in 1 try.

What about us Z1 owners? We have the bypass but need updated maps....

ahhh shucks $250 bucks for the map updates

Glad you guys finally got a solution! Great work everyone!

UPDATE:

Well, after successfully installing the software, I decided..... "eh, what the heck, lets see if I can do the wiring and stuff on my own." Now, mind you, the wiring isnt something that I was afraid of. I do that stuff every day at work. It was the thought of ripping into my pretty new 07 Camry SE that had my dingaling shriveling like it had just met a glass of ice water.

But I threw caution into the wind, found the service manual for my vehicle (thank you TN.com), hit up DB's site, and viola, presto chango, abracadabra.... it worked. I was able to search, watch movies, and all that jazz while moving. The search while moving is REALLY going to come in handy.

So, once again, Hyper.... you are the proverbial shit my man. Big thanks! And ive got that fifth for ya if you're ever in the Omaha area.

Your method of burning may be whats wrong here. What program did you use to burn the file? Also, did you have the ebrake engaged? Or, do you already have the two wire bypass done?

If you have a z2, which you said you do, then you DO NOT need to unlock the drive.

Also, if the software was burned correctly, you dont actually have to press any buttons when you install the disk. Mine read the disk, then started the whole process on its own, I only had to press the yes button a couple times.

Press Map before you put the CD in

wow !!! worked on the first try and took less than 10mins. thanks for all the effort and time guys !!! just in time for my trip to destin... i will have a rita on the beach for u guys. cheers

hey guys, THANKS FOR THE BYPASS!!!!! I just finished reading this forum and immediately downloaded the file and burned it and installed it on my Z2... and you know what???? IT WORKED ON THE FIRST TRY! this is awesome! it turns out that the guys who installed my Z2 for me already did the 2 wire bypass because it works!!! This bypass came right on time, I'm driving to orlando on Friday! yaaaaaaaaaaay!

again, THANKS!

now, you know what would be pretty cool? if there was a way to copy MP3's to the hardrive and get them to play so that we can store more music.... any ideas?

Thanks Hyperite, and everyone involved in creating the image files making our units bypassable.

I've downloaded the image and will try it this weekend.

Amazing. I still have not bought a Z2 because of not having a bypass. Now I will and am going to pay up the $5.00 I pledged when I get it.

Is there a wire in the harness of the z2 that needs to be grounded or do I have to pull one out from another location??

I finally got it to work.

First try, using windows burning software, no worky

second try, using CDBurnerXPpro, no worky

tried a couple of different variations in that program, no worky

tried to re-download Nero to start the free trial over again, they are smarter than I, so no worky.

finally, I downloaded the free trial of Alcohol120%, and first burn, I drop in the disk, and the upload starts.

now I just gotta find an excuse to take a long lunch so I can play.

Needs to be pulled from elsewhere...detailed pretty well in the 2-wire bypass instructions.

You have to add one AND you have to ground an existing one. The one you need to ground is in the power supply bundle and it is a very light green color.

Ok! Stupid question... well like they say there are no stupid questions only stupid people.

First Thank you to everyone that has made this possible. Now to my stupid question. I am not able to download the file. I go to the link to megaupload and it shows the file on the bottom but no where to download it. Do I have to register for the site first?
