If I convert my Z1 to Z2 do i need to take out ducatiboy circuit board(Z1 nav made June 2006) and just do the 2 wire bypass or could i just keep it in? Also anyone have any succes with converting a Z1 to Z2 with no problems and they followed the steps on this website?

You will need to do the 2-wire bypass method

Thanks

so i can just keep the old ducatiboy circuit in there without taking it out? So im guessing everybody that converted to Z2 from Z1 had no problems?

Thanks

You can leave it in, I've still got mine connected.

THANKS FOR ALL YOUR HELP!

NOW I WILL START CONVERTING MY Z1!!!

One last question,

Do i have to unlock the HDD even though i dont need to save anything from my HDD?

Thanks

I'm pretty sure u need to unlock the Z1. Unless u are going to wipe out that Z1 drive and just load the Z2 on it. If so why don't u just buy a HD and keep the Z1 as a back-up?

Thats what I am doing, mine should be in this week so can't wait to do the Z2

Now I guessing I will need to do the 2 wire bypass. Can you provide that link?

Thanks

The link for 2-wire bypass when you convert your z1 to z1:

I just completed the z1 toz2 upgrade. I went with the new HDD method.

Everything is working great!

I figure if I'm going to spend roughly $50 to unlock the stock drive which freezes all the time. I might as well spend the $50 on a new, faster and larger drive and hope it cures the freeze problem at the same time.

So far so good

If you do go with a new HDD you will have to follow the instructions on the other post and disable the security feature, or the Z1 will lock it when you stick it in, so the instructions say. I didn't want to find out so I disabled them...it's free, might as well.

Navyute

I also just got done with upgrading the Z1 to Z2. Used the original HDD works perfectly!!
