fonjo Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 i had the same problem everyone else is having with the grayed out icons on nav and system settings. i did the bypass, all the wires are where they are supposed to go, and still the same problem, until i figured out that IF YOU HAVE A VEHICAL WITH A SINGLE WIRE TO THE BRAKE do not connect the lite green wire to it. instead ground it out to the bracket the switch is connect to. and this little problem goes away. thought i would let everyone know. thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watkch01 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Sorry to burst your bubble, but everyone who has spent more than 2 minutes on this forum already knows to ground the wire rather than connect it to the handbrake at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you did not do the bypass as explained in this forum you will soon be locked out again. Search the site for proper bypass instructions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fonjo Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 no you guys are wrong. not all the cars out there are 2 wire systems for the e brake switch. learn your electrical before you post stupid replys Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watkch01 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 How is either of us wrong, exactly? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fonjo Posted January 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 the single wire to the switch has batt. voltage. when you depress the e-brake the switch opens not grounds. all this does is turn on the light. i have been mechanic for 15 years and know my way around car electrical systems Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watkch01 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 That doesnt make either of us wrong. I stated that anyone on this forum knows to ground the wire, while VBLUE42 correctly stated that grounding the wire is not enough to permanently remove the graying out of functions. Also, being a mechanic does nothing for your credibility. And please at least use correct terminology: Its called a "parking brake". They do nothing for you in an emergency situation, and are only designed to hold a parked car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CamelTowing Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 You're making yourself look like a moron now. To bypass the deck to illegally do stuff in motion, the light green wire should never be run all the way to the parking brake switch, it should just be grounded, in addition to the second wire you have to move in the harness. If you want to hook it up like pioneer intended (example: no video in motion or changing menu settings) THEN you run it to the parking brake of the vehicle no you guys are wrong. not all the cars out there are 2 wire systems for the e brake switch. learn your electrical before you post stupid replys Quote Link to post Share on other sites

CamelTowing Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 You said bypass. First post of the the thread, second sentence, fourth word Quote Link to post Share on other sites
watkch01 Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 the master tech. patch on my uniform is all the credibility i need. and dont be such a dumbass when it come to calling things what they are. DUMBASS At least you can spell dumbass correctly Grow up buddy. Im only 20 and a general asshole and Im still far more mature and knowledgeable than you present yourself to be. Just for reference, a master tech patch only means you wear a fancy shirt and nothing more. I could put "President" on my shirt, but it doesnt make one one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
