denniscummins Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 I have a 07 H2 and my 900 was installed by Best Buy. They did a good job and everything worked, but no help on the bypass. (can't blame them, not being a private shop and all) So I found this site and you guys are great! Thanks so much for what your doing, you have just elevated my purchase. So needless to say, I did the bypass by myself which was a bit of a pain on the H2. The whole booting to windows CE and changing the GPS parking brake settings seemed a bit daunting for a newbee like me, but it wasn't all that bad. I had some trouble trying to edit the speed in the Winrar, so I had to open it in a word pad, then edit it and then copy that back into the winrar. weird... I then needed to do the parking brake. I didn't know which wire was the parking brake, so I finally found someone's thread that said the light green wire coming out of the back of the deck, (black plug). Well I spliced onto that wire and ran it to a ground. Walah...it worked...minus the 2 hours of pulling my console apart to get to the wire in the H2. Crutchfield had the full step by step instructions for 10 bucks on taking it all apart, but I found a post that listed written instruction on how to pull it apart. Thanks again guys!

buckshot Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 followed the instructions and it worked great with my f-700. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
importsport Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 I have the F900 BT. I tapped into the ground wire to the PB and it works but the brake light warning is now on. I guess i did this wrong. HELP? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lobelsteve Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 ARRGGHHH!!! I had a loose connection and was getting intermittent Parking Brake warnings. So I soldered instead of using the wire taps. After a few days of no issues the warning signal came back on. I'm assuming I must not have the yel/brn fully seated as the wires are grounded at the same post with the main ground for the harness. Unless you need to do a hard reset or something. Time to uninstall the harness and start voltmeter testing on the bench before the reinstall. I am "teh suck". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ttorski Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Ok so if I understand Take the parking brake wire from HU and ground it, then move the mute (yellow/black) wire from pin 1 to 2 (like on the pix). After do software bypass. Is that all? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
importsport Posted November 3, 2008 Report Share Posted November 3, 2008 Well I removed the wire from the parking brake and just grounded it to the body. Warning light is off so I guess I am good to go. Next is the hard wire fix and I should have video. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ebbro Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Is this actually a picture guide? I can't see any photos on this thread. I am logged in and have no problem seeing photos in other threads. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WeApOn Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 I grounded my parking break and did the software bypass, but on two occasions(both noticed when I was going 80 on the highway)... I am getting an error that says something like: Improper parking break lead detected. Please consult the manual... Has anyone else got this? Why dose this come up? Does this have something to do with speed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BorisM Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Software bypass (with parking lead grounded, mute not moved) is speed-dependent. All you do is control at what speed the system startes thinking you are driving with the parking brake engaged. Just change the value in pioneer.ini to something higher...

WeApOn Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 So 128 reflects 80Mph? That's what I was thinking... But it's just a warning, all I have to do is press OK? Is that what it would have done above 10 MPH normally? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BorisM Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Yes. The value is in KM/h so 128/1.6=80M/h. It will lock out controls just as it would at 10 M/h with no bypass. I use 256.0 -- I figure 160 M/h is fast enough not to be playing with the headunit Quote Link to post Share on other sites
WeApOn Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Ahhh I see . I shall do the same, thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Need to do both. If you have the unit out, it is 2 minutes to slide the yel/blk out of pin 1 in the white harness and move it to the bottom row and 4 over. Too easy not to do. Especially if you ground the parking brake wire to the harness ground. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
