97gsx97 Posted October 27, 2015 Report Share Posted October 27, 2015 I am having trouble with the system error popping up of "Parking Brake not being properly grounded". I have the light green wire doubled into the ground wire itself. I never had an issue with this in my prior car, but the car I currently have it in just keeps giving me that error. Will a relay be needed or... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

493008 Posted October 28, 2015 Report Share Posted October 28, 2015 Connect your parking brake wire correctly. AVIC bypass is software only on the x000 and x100 models. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Will a relay be needed or... straight grounding the parking brake wire will not work. The radio requires you to disengage the ebrake then engage it after the radio has been powered up. if you just ground the wire there's no way you can simulate this. There are a few ways to get around this. The simplest way is to just hook up a toggle switch between the ebrake wire and ground so you can flick it on and off when needed. You can also purchase a bypass on ebay or amazon that will automatically simulate this for you. The last way only works on the avic nex units and that's to press the bottom left corner of the screen for like 15 seconds and it enables video playback,. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
