mlammert Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 What is the best possible way to bypass the D3 and still be able to mute the unit from a third-party device??? I have a Lincoln Aviator and I want to hook the real mute wire to my backup sensor so that when I am close to backing into something it mutes the radio and beeps... But, I still want to move the mute wire so that I can perform the bypass... Any suggestions on how to accomplish both??? Thanks, Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bobmun Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 get another wire with that connector on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mlammert Posted April 13, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Last night I went to a local electronic shop and bought a harness that looked very similar to the D3's... It was only $0.50 so I figured what the heck... I took one of the pins out of the new harness and slid it into the original position of the MUTE wire on the D3 harness... It is not a PERFECT fit, but it is in there and solid and the D3 harness successfully can be plugged into the D3, so I think it is good... We'll see when I install everything this weekend...

Itchy Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I inserted bare wire and dropped a dab of superglue to secure it, then ziptied all the harness cables together. I suppose you could also swap your power antenna wire as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I suppose you could also swap your power antenna wire as well. I used crazy glue to keep the pin in the bypass position after breaking the pin. Whats wrong with crazy glue? It doesn't conduct electricity. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cntrylvr79 Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 Actually it does. Not as well as wire, but it does conduct. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
