Pulling out Mute Wire

To pull out Mute wire, take a small screwdriver (flat head) and gently pry up the plastic tab holding the mute wire in. With your other hand, gently pull the mute wire out. You should not have to pull very hard.

After moving your Mute Wire, be sure to plug it into the D3 to ensure it fits ok.

Step 21: Cable Bundlephotos/rsz_20.jpg

This is the other set of cables for speakers, illumination, power, PARKING BRAKE, etc.

Step 22: Parking Brake Wirephotos/rsz_21.jpg
Parking Brake Wire

Here is the Parking brake wire. Needs to be grounded for bypass.

Step 23: Ground Cablephotos/rsz_22.jpg
Ground Cable

This is the ground cable. Notice the spade connector at the end? You use this to ground the wire to the car. Technically, you could use wire taps to connect the Parking Brake and Mute wire to this wire, then attach it to something metal in your car. Not Confirmed.
