tunesmich Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Bypass worked fine for me. Only problem I had was when I removed the mute wire, the solder slid off, leaving just bare wire. That created too loose of a connection when I placed it in the new slot, and it fell out. Not having a soldering iron, I stripped off more insulation and folded the wire in half to increase it's size. It works fine so far. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
r123 Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 I appreciate the posts and messages from all of you - especially cntrylvr79 and Reach. I'm ready to go and install (will do the whole shebang myself sometime this week). I already got the harnesses ready (mute wire switched and attached to parking brake wire from D-3 & attached to ground on harness and D-3 harness). I still have a couple of questions though: 1. Does anyone know where the speed sensor and which wire I need to connect to in a 1999 Honda Odyssey? 2. Same vehicle - where is the reverse signal wire? Other than these two wires - I'm ready to go. Still waiting on some infinity reference speakers and install tools from Crutchfield. Not only do they have the 15% off pioneer deal - they have $50 off $250 which is good for speakers / amps whatever of any brand. Again thanks for the help and if anyone knows where the speed sensor and/or reverse wires are in my Odyssey - PLEASE let me know. r123 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yed Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Can you use the T-Tap that came on the parking brake wire and just close it onto the Mute/or/Ground? Or is that not recommended for warranty purposes(just like how we should move the mute back to it's original spot for warranty). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Doc-audio Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 we tried the drk-green/white stripe and the vehicle diagnostics still reads 0 any ideas? it is conected to pink wire on avicz1. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coocho Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 it will read 0 still if you are not moving the car. Try driving the car around. It should increase as you go faster. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
07MaxSE Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I just finished installing the D3 in my 07 Maxima, and the bypass worked perfectly. A big thanks goes out to cntrylvr79, for helping me locate the VSS wire. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
abraDAMN Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 r123, I have NEVER done anything with mobile electronics, it was extremely simple to follow the picture (ONCE BEST BUY INSTALLED THE WHOLE THING). I just simply stripped the ground wire and twisted off the mute and parking brake wire......I also had to cut the parking brake wire that Best Buy installed. If i didnt cut the parking brake wire it still would of worked but the "brake" light would have remained on. Hope that helps....feel free to ask anything else when you "stripped the ground wire and twisted off the mute and parking brake wire" do you have any pictures of the final connection. the diagram on the first page of this thread shows where to put the mute wire... but i just want to make sure i ground the mute and parking break wires successfully. also... is it clear which wire is the ground wire? (is it just black?) thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
drft84 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 just installed my d3 in a 05 corolla. bypass worked for me, ipod is great and now im waiting for my bluetooth unit to come in. this site is bad ass, i found all the information needed to set up the bypass and the vss wire in my toyota. big thanks to all avic 411 people. -DRFT84- Quote Link to post Share on other sites
abraDAMN Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 can someone please post pics of how what the final connection should look like? with the grounded wires? i know that the first post has a picture of what to connect... but i think it would be really great to have a "before" and "after" pic for those of us who hesitate to cut and solder wires Quote Link to post Share on other sites

coocho Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 if by pin you mean that metal crimp, then yes. So long as its the right size. The only reason why people relocate the wire is because people dont have wires on hand, and the mute wire is pretty useless in most cases. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 The pin for the mute wire is ALOT smaller than the pins in a standard pioneer harness. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
