So, we finally got a bypass going here! GREAT! Fortunately, this was low hanging fruit since Pioneer served it up on a platter. Thank goodness!

Now, something which will require some ingenuity will be to bypass the 2 [explicative] dialogs warnings that the Z2 is dangerous to your health and those around you.

Does anyone have observations to share regarding these? If someone amongst us had a test environment to run the code in with breakpoints set at the dialog event, it might be a simple fix; like inserting a "NOOP" where the "JMP" is - no knowledge of the source code is necessary...

Not sure if Hyperite or others had gotten as far as a test platform... It really would be nice to get rid of those. Every time I get in the car it's annoying to sit there dismissing the warnings. Talk about legal overkill...

Welcome to america. The most sue happy country in the world....

welcome to Canada WHAT !!! we don't sew ppl here how come we have it

i know sue. i didnt think she was all that happy

Haha you're funny.......looking

not when i'm standing next to you

lol

Hmm, does anyone know where to find (legit) copy of WM CE 5 Automotive Edition (which I believe is the OS in Z2)? Through my technet subscription, I can only find WM CE 5.0 emulators etc, but no automotive SDK / edition. I want to load the Pioneer platform to my PC to look for breakpoints on the warning messages. This should be a more surmountable task then trying to find the bypass in the same manner. Would be nice to identify some hex patches...

I checked MSDN Subcriber Downloads and do not see the software there either.

is that of any help?

Have you noticed that the warning message does not come on if you get in your rig and you are continuing on a previously programmed route? It seems like one of you hacks ought to be able to trick the system into thinking that it is always starting with a route continuation rather than a route that needs to be newly programmed. Just a thought. Maybe it will spark some creativity!
