R1Titan12076 Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 I recently installed the app radio 2 (SPH-DA100) and am having 2 problems 1. Cant find the power line to connect the parking break sensor wire (2008 Ford F150) 2. When i go to setup bluetooth the little gear to setup your bluetooth is greyed out.. any one know how to fix this or what i may have done wrong installing it? Any help would be appreciated.

VBLUE42 Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Did you connect the parking brake wire? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
R1Titan12076 Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 No not yet, I thought that might be the problem, but not sure where on my F150 which wire is the right wire to connect the wire.. I've googed all over and cant seem to find the answer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yonel Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 didn't you have to active bluetooth phone first, and hold on bluetooth "shortcout" in appradio to launch it ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

worm Posted April 15, 2012 Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 I think you have to pair it to the Iphone first in the Bluetooth settings on your Phone ...Mine was 0000 pass Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Many features are grayed out if the parking brake is not engaged. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

VBLUE42 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 He pulled the parking brake. Maybe you should do the same. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I pulled the parking brake, and I know it is wired correctly because I am able to see video through my phone. I have done a system reset also. Still nothing, any other suggestions??

I have done a system reset also. Still nothing, any other suggestions?? Why not try wiring a switch into the parking brake wire from the unit then have it go to ground? The system works by pressing the brake once, then release then press it again. A message will pop up prompting you to do all that then you can click ok. Once that's done you can basically do whatever you want with the unit while driving as if your car was parked with the parking brake engaged. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Please stay on topic. This thread has nothing to do with the bypass. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
timmiii Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 Please stay on topic. This thread has nothing to do with the bypass. I wasn't referring to the bypass. The reason the bluetooth is grayed out because the parking brake circuit isn't complete or the procedure wasn't completed by the individual; even though it was tapped into it. The circuit for the parking brake must be completed before the unit will even allow map, bluetooth and video functions to be performed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted May 2, 2012 Report Share Posted May 2, 2012 I understand that but he stated above that he tried the parking brake. He appears to have some other problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
