I don't have the same model as you, I was able to bypass my F700BT with info that I found in hacks and mods section within this forum. Sorry can't be of much help with your question. I replied because I need your help and knowledge, I have an 09 DC Tacoma and purchased a new receiver for the same reason, but without Toyota's assistance. I waited weeks for a replacement, then decided not to bother when their replacement finally arrived. They were going to charge for removing the F700BT. Wondering how to get the same results you did. Please help. Thanks.

Looks like, from checking the AVH* forum, that it needs a relay:

To bypass the video I used a 3rd party relay from eBay. Do a search on eBay for pioneer avh-p3100dvd bypass and you will find a seller. It's around $30-$40 shipped.
