  1. I don't have a Subaru but the button lights on my 940BT do not dim -which I find a little odd but apparently that's the way it rolls...

    Thanks S.A.M.

     

    That was my suspicion.  I'll probably still try out my circuit to see if it does anything, but I highly doubt it will.  It sems as though only the screens dim and not the buttons on these units.

  2. I've got an x930BT installed into my 2008 Subaru Forester.

     

    I'm trying to work out the illumination hookups.

     

    Right now, I've got it so that when I turn on my lights the screen dims.  My question is, are the button lights supposed to change with the dimmer as well?

     

    Subaru does their dimmer circuit funky and I've got 2 illumination wires in the OEM radio harness (there is only one input on the AVIC though) and neither one will dim the buttons.

     

    I've got an idea of how to do the dimming if this is a function that the x930BT even performs, I'm just not sure if it does.

     

    So, can somebody go turn on their lights, adjust their dimmer switch and let me know if the buttons/dial dim with the rest of your gauges?

  3. So do you think it is just the connection? Where more likely is it, that the entire unit ground is bad, or just the override connection? Right now it says something about the parking brake but allows me to pick an address or watch a DVD without having the brake pulled.

    Sounds like the bypass is not done correctly, and your posts aren't painting a full picture.

     

    Post what unit you have, what pin(s) you grounded in order to bypass and the problem you are seeing.

     

    Verify the parking brake and bypass pin are both grounded.  Verify that where you grounded it is actually grounded with a multimeter/ohmmeter. 

    Why not just splice into the ground on your radio harness?  It's easy and you know it's a good ground.
