X804X Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 i've had the d2 for months and i've tried everyones suggestions for bypassing it i grounded the extra pin, i grounded the parking brake lead. i even hooked a switch up to the parking brake lead so it wouldn't be on all the time and still as soon as i start moving the unit says i have an improperly connected parking brake lead or whatever and doesn't let me use any functions till i stop moving i hear it has all this stuff inside that keeps the bypass from working and i get more frustrated the more i read everyone having success with it and for some reason mine just doesn't wanna cooperate. any suggestions?

JasonH Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 You try resetting the unit after grounding the special pin and the parking brake? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

whtcrxghst Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Try finding a professional in your area that will take a look at it for you. Most installers have done dozens of them Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MisFit Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 you sure you moved the mute wire to the right pin? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
X804X Posted April 11, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 you sure you moved the mute wire to the right pin? i did it just as it is pictured on the forums and i used a spare gorund connector so it didn't wiggle at all like the cell mute wire does i have an installer friend helping me this weekend and he should hopefully fix it i'll let you know what the problem was just in case it happens to some one else i'm sure it is somehow going to be my fault Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The reason people use the mute wire instead of their own spare wires, is that the crimp on the end of it is a perfect match and will make perfect contact with the pin. Perhaps just save yourself the trouble and just relocate that wire because that is sure enough most likely the problem. You arent using the cell mute wire anyway right?

In the d1/2 the cell mute wire is the wrong size. Using a ground pin or constant pin from another pioneer harness will lock into the empty pin perfectly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
