found the problem. just because the harness clips work, doesn mean I should have used them. 3 pins are switch out in different places. This includes the ebrake pin.

Ok, so my 2011 wrx sti has a AVIC-U310BT unit installed in it (stock I think)?

Anyways, I went out and bought a F700BT. I used the old harness and just plugged it in (it fit, and they are both pioneer).

So the nav works, the gps works, the stereo works, everything seems to work! awesome! even the steering wheel works (pac module installed).

Now, the system settings, and phone setting among others are NOT working. They are greyed out. I searched and searched. All that came up was *put the e-brake on* or *ground the light green wire better*.

I have tried both of these!!! It is grounded properly, and it still doesnt work. I managed to install the latest firmware. I reset the thing many times. I also tied the *hold menu, nav and eject while restarting* to reach the hidden menu. I can get there no problem, BUT it kicks me out and goes to a black screen like clockwork. I get in there and after 10 seconds~ the screen goes blank. Is this unit a DUD or am i missing something?

Please help!

Thanks,

Ryan
