Thanx to all for the info What about the overall reliability of the unit? Are you experiencing the problems that others are? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EV2 Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Awesome mod, chrisbulla, thanks. Obviously, for safety reasons, the passenger can safely operate the GPS, etc., for the safety oriented driver. So, when 'another driver' has possession of the vehicle, is it safe to assume that an obscurely located on-off switch on the yellow/black ground mod wire would disable the feature and resume the 'factory' operation?

Newbie Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I tried searching for the answer, so sorry if this is a repeat question. Currently by unit says "parking break is improperly installed....." . It was installed correctly from what I understand (ie. no bypass). My question is for the people who have bypassed their units....does it give the "parking break is improperly.....error? Thanks for your help.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rickcain Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 After pulling everything apart due to no sound with my sirius tuner, all is working perfect now. Must have been a bad crimp?.? So I can confirm it works on the F90BT Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roadking1733 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Sorry for the newb question but what is the easiest way to remove the wire from the harness? Does it require a special tool? Dont want to mess up the harness because I pull when I should have pushed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fotostars Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Sorry for the newb question but what is the easiest way to remove the wire from the harness? Does it require a special tool? Dont want to mess up the harness because I pull when I should have pushed. I used the needle in my "sewing kit" to lift the white plastic tab that prevents the wire from going out when pulling on it. Then lift it again on the new position to help it go through... Hope this help... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
roadking1733 Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 Thanks. I used a little sunglasses screwdriver. Seem to work fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cranbers Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 I can confirm this does work on the F900BT. No problems at all. Just pay attention and triple check everything before you try it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My question is for the people who have bypassed their units....does it give the "parking break is improperly.....error? Thanks for your help.... No that is hte whole point of the bypass. I actually found it easier to do the bypass then to search through my wires under the dash trying to hook it up properly. Ground two wires and move one wire from a pin to another? I didn't even have to be in my car to do it, which is a lot easier by the way. Doing it in a well lit enviroment and on a desk is a lot easier in cramped car or whatever. Simply take a small screw driver flat tiped, like to tighten glasses, go to the yellow/black wire, the little white tab needs to be lifted just a bit while you pull the wire, if you do it right it will come right now, now you have to flip it around and push it into the necessary slot. It's crucial you have it in properly, the very small point goes up, you will know if its upside down because it will be very tough to push in and will stop almost immediately. When you can see the silver prong match up like the others from the top view you know its in all the way, there was no click type of feel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
blindmind3 Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Just another FYI: bypass works perfectly on my f90bt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bcgeorge Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 The bypass worked for my F900BT. When I initially had it installed, the guy did the "D3" bypass but it didn't work. I took the car back to him yesterday showing him this page and how the wires were slightly different. Works like a charm now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paiintballer05 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Bypass worked great for me. Didn't even give me a warning that the parking brake wasn't attached properly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
