[alyaba]

This is what i have

[VBLUE42]

The plug in the first two pics is not the right one. You need to contact the person you bought the unit from.

sorry double post

[alyaba]

the first two pictures are from the harness that i was told i needed for my car, its going in a 2005 jeep grand cherokee.

the third and fourth picture is the one that came with the unit. the black one does plug into the unit just fine.

Your missing the RCA harness which is needed for the bypass. Again, contact the person you purchased this unit from.

[alyaba]

thanks for your quick reply, ill go back in the morning and ask for it.

Okay, so I pulled out that wire, put when I tried to put it in the new spot, it won't get in! Is there any way to push it in without damaging the wire?

You may have bent the small wire coupler. This evening, I tried the mod it works GREAT!!

Hello All,

 

I bought a F700bt and will be installing it this weekend. I got it used and it didn't come with the RCA harness. I don't plan on hooking anything video to the rca harness, but I would like to be able to watch videos off the sd card or my ipod (connecting it using the AUX2-front port with the CD-RM10 cable)....since I don't have the RCA harness does anyone know if the video play back will still work while the car is motion if I just ground the parking brake wire (green wire)?

[VBLUE42]

No.

I grounded:

 

1. The Unit (black wire)

2. The Parking Brake wire

3. The relocated Mute wire

 

All to the vehicle chassis (ground).

 

Works perfect.

 

I have done all this. I took my radio out 5 times to recheck all connections. It works, but when I start driving, I get the p brake lead message or w/e it is and then half my settings are gone and song labels don't show and stuff and until I come to a stop, everything is enabled. This leads me to believe that my unit requires both grounding and hacking the software. I have NO idea how to do this, so can someone PLEASE tell me how to hack my radio step by step, and not just say "data.zip"

Like everyone else who has had this problem, and swore up and down that they did it all right, you have a problem with the grounded & relocated mute wire. Almost certainly, you damaged the small fragile contact when you moved it. That's all there is to it.

Hmm that's one thing I didn't try. Maybe the pin isn't in all the way and not getting a full contact. I'll take a look at it again tomorrow and see if that works. I really hope so, because I grounded the wires 10 times so that cant be it.

Hey guys,

 

First I apologize because my english is probably awful

 

So i bought the AVIC F910bt, i didn't not installed yet.

I understood how the hardware bypass works. There are two steps :

 

1. Move mute wire as indicated in first post in this thread : i follow this instructions and it's done >

 

 

2. . Ground parking brake wire : I'm a bit confused ;

 

Ground is the black wire right? Shoud i cut it to connect to the parking brake wire?

 

 

 

The parking brake wire has something red..I don't know what is it, and if i have to cut it.

 

 

 

Thanks in advance.

That is what you use to tap that wire into the other wire. In this case, you will tap the green wire into the black ground wire. You will need to purchase a separate tap for the mute wire. From what I understand however, EU units don't require the mute wire for the bypass to work properly so you may be able to skip that step. Try it without it first. If it doesn't work then connect it as instructed.
