mrtnbrn Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Has anyone had a D2 with a working bypass that just stopped working? It worked for about a month then quit. Video playback works until 15 or so MPH...Then the warning screen comes up. I've checked and double checked the pin in the open spot to make sure it is firmly seated and still making a good ground connection, all good. Verified ground with a DVM. Would there be any other reason for this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whtcrxghst Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 Nope. Double check the grounds, always seems to be either a loose pin in the harness or a bad ground on that wire or the parking brake wire Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznsmartass24 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 yeah, there is no time to live function on the hack. you must have done something wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrtnbrn Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 As I said the grounds have been double /triple checked, six or seven times at least: and verified with a Digital Volt Meter also. Both are goo. It worked for a least a month and nothing was changed then it stopped working. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznsmartass24 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 It's not that we dont believe you, it is just that no one has complained of this issue. Have you done a software update or something recently? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrtnbrn Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 No software update. Nothing has been touched. According to Pioneer tech assistance there is no updated Nav softeware for the D2 anyway. I really think there must be something internally wrong with this unit now. Can't figure out any other reason. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznsmartass24 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 the unit cant be malfunctioning in any way because it is acting like it is supposed too i.e. locking you out of the dvd function after you hit 15mph+. The only logical explanation is that you are doing the hack wrong. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrtnbrn Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 I thought it MUST be a bad connection.That is why I have checked the connection so many times. I have done this hack at least twenty times on other units with no problems. I am not doing it wrong, besides it worked for a month then quit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aznsmartass24 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 ok mr. expert. Send it into pioneer and tell them the unit is "malfunctioning" by not letting you play dvds past 15mph. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrtnbrn Posted February 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 That's right I am an expert or at least a professional, being that I've been installing (for a living) for over 25 years. I am always open to other opinions, advice or help when I need it. Thats why I posted the question. I thank everyone for any help given. I was just saying that the hack is done correctly. I have verified this multiple times as well as having other verify it also. It is grounded. The pin is not loose in the connector. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted February 26, 2007 Report Share Posted February 26, 2007 The connection status menu, what does it say the status of the parking brake is? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slody4Futbol Posted March 10, 2007 Report Share Posted March 10, 2007 unplug the harness... make sure the pin on the radio didn't get misaligned with the harness and shoved into the unit intself... i've seen that before... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
precisionmobile Posted March 15, 2007 Report Share Posted March 15, 2007 or the pin is not making a good full contact with the wire clip. Did you try to reset the unit and try it again? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
