That diagram is perfect wooward - that's exactly how I have it wired and I haven't had any problems

Got my email back from Pioneer within 2 days, and I put in my credit card info but the charge showed as $0.00, so I'd make sure you signed up for the right thing - sounds like you might have ordered something different. I have a 2gb SD card in the nav unit (which you have to leave in it to be able to use the POIs) but I think you could use a 1gb card I just ordered a 16gb SDHC card to leave in the head unit with music and a 16gb Lacie Moskeyto for the USB port to be used for video. I'll let you know if I run into any issues with either. Right now I have a Lacinema rugged 500gb har

No, not a "total" bypass - I haven't come across anyone who's been able to bypass the accelerometer. This just fixes the video issue which is good enough for me right now. From what I've seen so far, the only functions that are unavailable when going over 10mph are some settings and anything requiring you to type on the keyboard. These functions do come back when you slow back down though, so when you stop at a light, even if the functions had been locked out, you can use them again. Just a side note, I went through the rediculous process of updating the AVIC U220 with the POI's you get f

Thanks to all who posted on this issue - it really helped me find a working solution. Here it is: I have the AVH5200DVD and the AVIC U220 and just finished my install with a successful parking brake bypass. I can watch video without unplugging the U220 before startup, no switches to flip, and it works regardless of the speed. I used the PAC TR7 module as suggested (available from amazon for like $20), but instead of just hooking it up as is (which uses the default function intended for Alpine head units) I programmed it to send a delayed output to a relay which grounds the parking brake
