dwpumo Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 my bypass didn't work, mostly because my connection wasn't good. Now though I have a really tight squeeze and my mute wire looks like its in bad shape. Is it possible to put a new end on it to insert into the harness, or twist it or something? Or am I just screwed. I don't really wanna open the dash up again, but I want this thing to work. Clip up or down when inserting into harness? Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whtcrxghst Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 Buy a new pin and put it on, or go to a car audio shop and see if they have an extra similar Pioneer harness and use one of the wires from it my bypass didn't work, mostly because my connection wasn't good.

dwpumo Posted March 17, 2008 Report Share Posted March 17, 2008 any idea what size or type of pin that is? Also if I wanted to extend that line to work with it, what gauge are all of those wires. Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mystro9876 Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I need a new pin as well. Anyway around it? If not, what size do I need to by, and where can I buy one at? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
whtcrxghst Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Try here for a new pin http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13189 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lic2kll Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 hey guys, i accidently screwed up on the bypass... i know i know, how could you... but i did. i accidently fudged up the mute wire ring terminal. i had a hard time getting it out and a even harder time getting it in to the slot above. so now the tiny metal terminal on the end of the mute wire is really messed up. i'm not even sure if it works... well question is, do you know where i can find another rca cable? i don't want to get it online. so hopefully a store locally or even better, do you know where i can just buy those little metal terminals. thanks a lot. i know the guy above is selling pins, which is what i need. if there isn't any available in stores, then i might go to him, depending on how fast he ships.

lic2kll Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 nevermind. surprisingly, it still works. thanks though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rockfosgte Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I can confirm that this indeed works on my new D3. Just bought it this week, and installed myself that night. Threw me for a loop, as I bought mine as an open box from Best Buy, in which the mod was *already done* on the mute wire pin within the harness; the picture saved me from moving the pin from the already-modded position back to the factory un-modded position- Thanks, and I love it!!! Placed a hidden but accessible switch under the steering wheel/dash for the parking brake wire, just in case I get pulled over and have to prove to the cops that the video is still suppressed when put in gear. Muhahaahaaa... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lildrmrb0y Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 An elementary question: Where does one find all of these wires/pins and the white plastic piece they are connected to? Do I need to remove the stereo from the dash? Thanks a bunch! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do I need to remove the stereo from the dash? Thanks a bunch! OK, I saw the flash presentation -very helpful! NOW my question is how do I remove the D3 from my dash so as to expose the wiring piece? Thanks again! (I have tried the 'search' function on the forum without success) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PierPressure Posted June 11, 2008 Report Share Posted June 11, 2008 OK, time for my question. I had mine installed yesterday and informed the installer of the by-pass and he did it for me, however, when driving above 10mph it reverts back. Say you get above 10mph, the Nav route options become disabled (as if the parking brake were not set) and if a DVD is playing the image will go away and you get the "warning" message. Any ideas on what I could tell the installer to do or not do to fix it? My install of course is a D3 in a '04 Tahoe with OnStar and Bose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

vinny31187 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 I was about to try to do the Bypass on my car, i was a little confused about the grounding part. once i move the mute wire to the empty slot, how do i ground it. if someone can help me with that it would be awesome!!!
