frankcarinha Posted March 6, 2009 Report Share Posted March 6, 2009 has anyone purchased a newer unit that the video bypass hasn't worked? Just got mine and double checked to make sure pin config was correct but still shutting off video once i start moving. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cbjorg Posted March 18, 2009 Report Share Posted March 18, 2009 Hi, I am bringing my unit into the shop to be installed tomorrow. I performed the mute wire mod, but I wanted to know if it is going to work when they install it with that mute wire moved. My plan is to open it back up after I get it back and ground the two wires out, but if it won't work with the mute wire, then they are going to tell me they couldn't install it. Anybody know if the mute relocation will cause problems if the two wires are installed according to the manual? (I know the bypass won't work until I ground them, but will the unit work?) Thanks!!!

NewRSX02 Posted April 8, 2009 Report Share Posted April 8, 2009 Hey guys, I need a confirmation. I'm about to install my F900BT but need to know whether the hardware bypass will work with the 2.0 firmware? All the new units now come preinstalled with 2.0 so I'm not sure whether the hardware bypass will work. Some have mentioned that it doesn't and that would leave me with no choice but to do the software bypass (which I would prefer not to do). Thanks for your input.

justaguyhere Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Does anyone know how to bypass the 900bt without pulling the radio? If I could pull the radio, I wouldn't have had to pay someone to install it if I could pull it!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
randm6925 Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 I just did the hardwire bypass on my f700 and it came with the 2.0 firmware installed and the bypass worked great... this website and the tutorial are awesome ..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EAHinsch Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Good Morning All. I am interested in purchasing the F900BT and installing it in my Tundra. I have a couple questions that I can't seem to find the answers to: 1. If I do the bypass can I turn a movie on and still use the navigation system? 2. My goal is to push the video out into the auxilliary input on my rear DVD players, so that I can control the DVD from the front of the vehicle and still use the navigation? Do these systems have an auxilliary video out, if not, can anybody think of a way to make this work? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Check that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stang94 Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Hello all, I've been reading the forums for quite awhile but this is my first post. I had my Avic700 installed yesterday at BestBuy. I asked the kid if he could do the bypass, he said he knew what to do and would. When I picked up my car the Media files from my ipod worked great (and nav). About an hour later i could only get ONE file to work. From other posts I've read they've said the mute wire could be loose, however why would the one media file work. Has anyone else had this happen? If so, how did you reslove it. Any sugestions **the media files don't work even with the parking brake up so I'm assuming he grounded the wire. THANKS FOR YOU HELP!!

axxman Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 thank you for the bypass info, made going from a D3 to an F700bt an easy transition. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phidelt733 Posted May 13, 2009 Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 Yes if this method of relocating the mute wire in between the two black wires and then ground the yellow/black and light green wire will work. Did it yesterday and works flawless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SAMzGXP Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Hi there: found this thread thanks to google and thanks to you guys i will be able to bypass my AVIC-F700BT Long story short.. i have a 2005 Bonneville GXP with onstar i wanna bypass my headunit but i was wondering about something.. for the bypass i have to move the black/yellow MUTE wire to the forth pin and then ground it with the parking break wire.. which is no problem... but my car uses that MUTE wire to mute the system whenever i use onstar.. so my question is: Is it okay to keep the mute wire on the pin its on and ground it with the parking break and also ground PIN 4? or can i just leave the mute wire the way it is ungrounded and ground pin 4? thanks samz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fastpakr Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 Sounds like you just need to leave the mute wire the way it is currently wired, but ground the pin you would have moved it to if you'd followed these directions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
unratedave Posted May 31, 2009 Report Share Posted May 31, 2009 you just have to ground pin 4. they all say to use the mute wire since most people dont use it. its alot easier... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
