okay i had the avic d3 installed about a couple weeks ago with bypass done. about last week the prohibit warning about movies popped up so i knew it was a loose wire. I took it out and the mute wire fell out. Now i tried to get the mute wire to go back in but it just wanted go all the way. No matter how lightly or hardly i push it carefully so the metal would be against the teeth of that plug. So i got really frustrated since i couldnt get the mute wire in, i just pushed it real hard which end up bending the metal. So when i pulled it back out i just touch the metal it broked off.

So now i am left without my bypass, everything else is still running fine though.

Just wanted to know if its possible i can buy that little metal piece at radioshack??? and any1 got any tips on entering the mute wire to that little hole smoothly??

cntrylvr79 said he had some wires with the correct pin for the bypass. you could pm him, but he wont be back from his honeymoon til march 10

damn thats awhile, imma pm him anyways... but for the meantime any1 else know any solutions and where i could get them

Just a thought... Are there any other wires on the harness you're not using or could be obtained by merging two grounds?

Buy a tube of super glue and glue the pin in the harness.

Ok... I did the same exact thing you did, this is what I did, I took the remote wire, which was never going to be used because I am not going to put an amp in my truck, and used that wire as my mute wire and grounded it.

There has got to be a wire you do not plan on using on your harness.

hey @khmerxnuttyxb i had the same problem and i bought this http://parts.pioneerelectronics.com/part.asp?productNum=CDE7838 it's 42 bucks, but i ordered it and i got it in 4 days. So spend some money and get yourself a new one

damn 42 bucks just for a broken pin... im str8 for getting a whole new harness, but i'll look into the harness see if theres not a wire i'll b using... any1 know any suggestions for getting that damn mute wire in the harness without breaking it! i had problem getting it in since day1

its very easy as long as your careful
