  1. In my mind either the install is wrong, the camera is defective or the HU needs service.

     

    If you have tried reseting the unit aswell as disconecting the unit from power ( perhaps let it sit disconnected overnight)  and still no complete restore to factory fresh...I would send the HU in for service.

  2. I Installed a AVIC 6100NEX last Friday in my 2015 Subaru WRX.  The install went fine, very happy with the unit.  I knew about the AVIC software bypass, but I purchased a triple pulse bypass from a EBAY retailer with a very high feedback score just to cover all my bases.  This bypass was wired as instructed, Green to AVIC green parking brake wire, Black to Ground, blue to blue/white AVIC System remote control wire.  All connections soldered, shrink wrapped, continuity tested, etc.  On first power up I initiated the AVIC software bypass, which worked as people have described , AV off, press lower left corner of AVIC screen  for 15+ seconds- "Set on" message appears.  Can do all functions and watch DVD's while driving.  Have had periodic "Detected parking brake wire not properly installed" message at least once a day.  I did an experiment today.  I turned off the software bypass and noticed while driving, many of the Nav functions are greyed out, some of the Settings menu items were also greyed out, for example picture adjustment.  The interesting thing is, when you come to a complete stop these greyed out menu items turn white and can be used irregardless of setting the e-Brake.  When you start to move, they grey out again.  I am not sure if I have a defective triple bypass chip, or the AVIC knows you are moving and would override any hardware bypass unit.  In any case I will continue to use the software bypass.  I am going to email the seller of the bypass for his feedback and insight, and will share with you all.  Has any one else experienced this behavior on their AVIC? I wish I could get rid of the parking brake wiring problem message.  I know I could actually wire the Parking brake wire as instructed by Pioneer, but it seems the AVIC senses when the car is moving irregardless of the Parking brake status.

    Install the unit with the parking wire and remove the bypass, software bypass and enjoy. Why are you trying to fight what's already working.
