Dr. Claw Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Confirmed that this works on an 8100NEX. Great to see; this factored into my decision to actually buy this head unit.All I did was hook a T-Tap into the PIoneer wire harness ground, then connected the Pioneer wire harness to it. Then followed the "SET ON" procedure.(and btw, I'm in the US, lol.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
v300 Posted May 20, 2015 Report Share Posted May 20, 2015 Hi Guys; I have attempted the soft parking break bypass on the 8100NEX. The bypass worked fine until I have upgraded the firmware to 1.03 for Android Auto. I have re soft bypassed after the firmware upgrade and still received the error message. Anyone having the same issue? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
impsybin Posted May 21, 2015 Report Share Posted May 21, 2015 Please Delete. The answer to my issues was to simply connect directly to the USB instead of using the MHL adapter. Everything works fine now and the speed wire does not need to be connected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dr. Claw Posted May 30, 2015 Report Share Posted May 30, 2015 Based on some of the Android Auto issues I'm having, I'm almost wondering if on NEX unit you even need to ground the parking brake. I am 100% certain that wire is grounded, and the SET ON/OFF works accordingly as described. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vitaly Posted June 10, 2015 Report Share Posted June 10, 2015 Just wanted to confirm that it worked on my 8000nex. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BruceH Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I just installed my 6100NEX and it works great, I did the video bypass. I did not ground the parking brake wire. Video plays fine while driving. My problem is I get a warning screen on power up which I have to select "OK" to get the home screen. Is there any way to get rid of this warning? Thank you.

lunatics Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Does this bypass allow the Nav (changing address, settings etc) to be used while in motion or is it only for video? Also does it work on a 5100NEX or only the 6 and above? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tosc7506 Posted June 23, 2015 Report Share Posted June 23, 2015 Just installed my 6100' grounded the parking brake wire to the black ground wire from the H/U. Will attempt to find the sweet spot for the software bypass in the morning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The bypass is software only, and works with the brake wire correctly connected. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PolterGeist Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Just ran this on my 6000NEX without grounding the parking break and got the expected responce. I will test tomorrow to see if it actually worked as expected. If not I will go forth with permanently grounding the parking brake ground wire.. Great tip.. Thanks..

PolterGeist Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Okay, confirmed on my 6000NEX that only the following steps are required.... Step 2 turn power on push main menu button (bottom center) Step 3 push AV icon (bottom center) Step 4 on AV icon screen push off button (towards bottom) Step 5 touch quadrant 4 (half inch in and half inch up from left lower corner of touch screen) hold your finger there for about 10-12 seconds. "set on" icon will appear that means you are done. No need to ground the parking brake... Yeah.... TY OP.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
