Reading this is making me feel less guilty using burned disks!

Thanks If the copies work, I'm good.

What benefits upgrading to d1-d2? I have the 1.02 fixed d1 disks from Pioneer and everything is working fine. I recently picked up some d2 upgrade disks and found out after the fact that they are copies. I am a bit concerned on several levels. I asked Pioneer and they stated you can not downgrade in case these don't work properly. I also have heard that burned disk do not last quite as long the originals from Pioneer. Anyone have any problems using these? Pioneer is coming out with new software in April to upgrade to the d3. Maybe I'll just wait.

IT WORKED! This would explain the intial working and then not. The ground going to the missing hanrness must be very good and you really need to use an existing spare connector.

Well, I did the wire up today. Even soldered the connections instead of twisting. I removed the black/yellow cell phone mute wire and replaced it in the empty slot. The slot is slightly bigger then the other, so you have to be careful it stays centered. I didn't have time to drive it but things look encouraging. The brake is showing on when it is off and I did not get a faulty wiring warning on start up. I was getting this prior and had thought that these would go away. So to sum it up, you really should use a spare harness connectore, since a weak or poor ground on the empty harness pi

Yes, I'm using the same common ground that the nav unit, xm unit and ipod interface are all using and working properly. These were installed by a Circuit City installer and look to be proper with no T taps.

From some more research on this forum, it seem like the weak link might be the pin-wire connection in the harness. I'll try using a spare one from the harness and see if that doesn't make a better connection and eliminate the problem.

I'M guessing the bypass tricks the parking brake to register "on" which it does, even when I'm stopped without it being engaged. Once rolling, the handbrake registers "off" with the hardware info screen. Perhaps I don't have the "mystery" connection set right but I have then wired as carefully as I can (no T's, just bare wire with all grounds, including the parking brake, leading to a common ground that is working correctly. I even made a small metal connector that engages the pin in the empty harness slot). I actually have done this twice. The first time with wire T's and just a bare w

One other note. The system was installed at a retailer. Any way they could of hooked it up to make the bypass ineffective?

OK. I've checked all the prior post on this topic that has been well discussed, but I'm still coming up short on my install. Rerouted green parking brake to ground, check. Connected new wire into "mystery hole" next to ground wire in the harness (the only empty harness wire), check. Reset nav unit. Now, the unit acts fine while the car is sitting, but immediately reverts back to dumb down mode as soon as the car is moving. While checking the setting in the car, it is showing my parking brake as being off and then as soon as I stop, it shows it on. I am sure all my connections are solid a
