Klaus Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Have you tried using the reset button? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mcowger Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Yup. It rebooted the system, and compained about the wire again. Though I'm not sure that the reset did all THAT much, as it didn't reset the 3D calibration settings at all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VBLUE42 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 I did it and it works for me, just like the instructions say, tell your installer on here, if he is on here to look a little harder. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Some installers refuse to do the bypass. I can't help but wonder if these guys have been ordered by their boss to lie about the bypass, because if they admit they won't do it, you might go somewhere else.

Reach Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Works for me. DVD playback @ 60MPH. Just gotta not kill anyone now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted March 12, 2007 Report Share Posted March 12, 2007 Alot of this has to do with the installers not knowing anybetter. Most don't care to dig and find out for sure if it can be bypassed unless they're putting one in their personal cars. My car for instance, the d1 was hooked up properly until I found this place and how to do the bypass. I was told the system couldn't be bypassed and I beleived it. The final problem with doing the bypass is it is illegal in all 50 states to have video in view of the driver. Yes installers have been taken to court because of accidents cause by that too. So in the end no I'm not risking my job or a suit because a customer wants be to bypass their nav system.

outsider Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Guys, I searched and can't find an answer to this... does this mod then make the mute function of the unit not work? thanks for your help! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mcowger Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 Which mute function are you talking about? Can you press mute? Yes. Can the BTB100/200 mute the unit? yes Can an external device mute the unit (like a Parrot BT adapter)? No. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
outsider Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 The PAC steering wheel module actually Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 The PAC steering wheel module actually It will still mute. As stated above the ONLY thing that won't be able to mute is a separate handsfree kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coocho Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 yup only thing it does. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
petejonesrn Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I haven't seen this question asked yet. Technically, what is this change in wiring over-riding, exactly? I know it works, but I'd like to know how it works. If it's over-riding the unit's brain into thinking it's sitting in a stopped position, won't that the cause the navigation portion to display the wrong information? Honestly, I'm not really concerned about video playback while moving. It would obviously be cool, but what I'm more concerned about is making changes to my navigation route while moving. I know it works, I'd just like to know how it works. You know what I mean? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
btappan Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 I echo what petejonesrn asked - definitely curious on what the bypass is technically doing. Brent Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mcowger Posted March 13, 2007 Report Share Posted March 13, 2007 While I cant speak from personal knowledge, my guess is this: The movement of the pin is the key. It probably doesn't ACTUALLY matter which pin you move to the new location, only that you have A pin there (it just so happens that the MUTE pin is nearby and not very useful). As to the specialness of the new location, I suspect it is placed there as 1 of 2 things: 1) A developer debugging tool, that is left in the final design. 2) An intentional 'for the customer' bypass for use in non-car application (e.g. in the back seat of a motorhome, or in a boat). I would bet dollars to donuts that using the bypass has literally 0 harmful effect on the navi accuracy of the system. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
