Sprawl Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 A lot of places will not do the hack for you because it is technically illegal in most places. the only way i know is to bypass it with these instructions. Once it's installed you'll have to pull the wiring out yourself to redo the bypass Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tsum3018 Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 i did the bypass remove remote wire and ground parking brake wire but my radio is still picking up the parking brake. Its telling that the parking brake wire has been installed incorrect. But once i reset the radio it work again for a little bit so what can i do Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mmagbee Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Man this bypass looks so easy and to the point. The one thing that everyone forgot to take into consideration, is that not everyone is using the standard wire harness that comes with the avic-d3. Some of us must use a aftermarket harness in order to install. For example.... a 2002 highlander does not have the same connections that came in the box. Therefor had to purchase a harness kit which does not have the same color wires and or "free" slots. So i guess my question is... has anyone used the bypass on a harness other than the provided one.? Which once again look so easy to do if the provided wires are there. Anyways... Thanks for any reply that is helpful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sprawl Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 i'm not sure why even on any car you'd not be using the harness that comes with the D3? i think you're confusing where the wiring is. this wiring mod is done COMPLETELY on the parts that come with the D3. the harness in discussion here is the harness that has the wiring for the D3 itself. it is irrelevant the wiring on the car itself to do this mod.

jtav2002 Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 i did the bypass remove remote wire and ground parking brake wire but my radio is still picking up the parking brake. Its telling that the parking brake wire has been installed incorrect. But once i reset the radio it work again for a little bit so what can i do YOu don't do anything with the remote wire. You remove the MUTE wire from it's location and move it to the slot above it. Then you ground that wire. Then you ground the wire that goes to the parking brake wire. The mute wire is yellow and black and the parking brake wire is light green. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CarMan77 Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 The bypass works for me for a little while; the next time i start up my car i get an 'improper parking brake lead connection' warning and the bypass of course does not work. If I reset the D3, it will work agian (with no parking brake warning appearing), then the next time I start my car, the same thing happens... parking brake wire warning appears and no bypass. I checked and double checked all of my splices. Is this happening to anyone else?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kaplan_reject Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Check the mute wire pin make sure that it is pinned in securely and in the proper place for the bypass, then double and triple check your wiring and connections, it done right the bypass will work....

CarMan77 Posted April 23, 2008 Report Share Posted April 23, 2008 Hi...my name is carman77 and I'm an idiot. I had the mute wire in the wrong place...works fine now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Omie Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 just a quick question, when i ground it out can i leave it on a switch so this way if i ever get pulled over i can just turn it off? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xsdbs Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 ummm, yeah. that would be really cool. wow I really never thought about that. WOW Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whtcrxghst Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 Or you could just press the MAP button Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Omie Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 ok i did it with the switch that i still had in the car from my other radio bypass and it worked. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YZFR150 Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 ok i did it with the switch that i still had in the car from my other radio bypass and it worked. Hello Everyone. I have had my D3 for 2 months and have had a few issues with what i believe is the bypass. I installed a rearview camera to the rca connection and attached the reverse sensor wire to my wire for reverse light so when i put the ignition in reverse it would pop up everytime. One major problem, I could not use all my navigation options (greyed out) once i did this. I could go to recent destinations and see the map. I could not search or see nearby gas stations etc. So i cut the wire for the reverse sensing and now I have my navigation back which works great (actually ordering 2009 discs today too). But every time I start my truck I get the back up camera and if I put it in reverse it snaps to it but if i choose map or radio I cannot use my rearview camera until I turn the truck off and on again(which is stupid for parallel parking and so on) I plan on doing this bypass but I am not sure what it is doing for me. I would like the hook up a switch for the camera to come on, so hook a 12v source up to the reverse sensing wire with a switch. Any help would be amazing I am getting frustrated but this site seems full of good solutions!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
