whatever the case may be in my car, I now am able to switch between day and night mode in my car. Paul

well....I had some time today (Thanksgiving in Canada) of all days to get back in there and play around. I had some extra wire left from the bypass after I cut the parking brake wire short to accommodate the bypass. So, to ensure I can always reverse this install, and since I didn't have a crimp tool, I cut the crimp connector and manually connected the wires and taped it with electrical tape. I then fed the wire down to the power led that lights up the cig. light. This light turns off when I switch the headlights off and turns on when I switch the lights on, so a perfect source for th

when I have time, I am going to connect it to the wire that leads to the cigarette lighter. I noticed that when I turn off my lights (which don't affect DRL's one single bit), the cigarette lighter "light" turns off. Opposite happens when I turn the lights on. The unit is looking for voltage (or current) and if it finds it, it will switch to night-mode. I haven't had the time to fiddle with this yet, but hopefully, this will be the final road-block to having a completely functional Pioneer Head Unit. Paul

doesn't really work that way because I have Daytime Running Lights and the light switch on my Saab does squat. The low-beam lights are on all the time. Paul

I am indeed curious...how would a cop know if the bypass is in place or not....and when would a car ever be inspected....
-
nope...from the Pioneer D3 unit.....not crimped to anything.
-
Well....just noticed that my illumination wire is not hooked up to anything at the moment. Currently figure out where I should hook it up too....
-
When I did my bypass, I was able to disconnect every plug from the unit, but I had difficult with the GPS plug. Any idea's on how to easily remove that? Paul
-
I will find somethin' for sure...... Paul

That is the problem, the light switch has no affect as I have Daytime Running Lights and I don't think the installer hooked up the illumination wire... Paul

I have a 9-3ss and I just figured that I could use the existing auxiliary switch that sits in the dash to switch the display from daytime to nighttime. Since I already done the bypass, it shouldn't be that bad to get this to go either. Thanks for the suggestion on using a toggle switch. I hadn't thought of that. Also, now it is a matter of finding the illumination wire. Paul

I should clarify....I am referring to the D3

I have DRL's, so any info you pass along when illumination wire is likely not connected.... Paul

According to the instructions, the daytime/nighttime selection mode works based on the switch of the headlights. I drive a Saab and the Saab uses DRL's and the light switch does squat. So, I believe the unit is permanently stuck in Daylight mode as it is likely not connected to anything. Any workarounds on the use of the daytime/nighttime mode when you actually use DRL's? Paul
