So I installed my AVIC-D2. I put the unused Cellular Mute wire and tab into the unused pin and grounded it, along with the parking brake wire. (I have a 2005 G35 Coupe). I also connected the VSS wire. I've read on here that it doesn't matter if you connect the VSS wire and ground that extra pin, it should work while moving. Does it matter that I connected the extra pin to the same ground as the one I used for the unit itself? Because I lose the features that are supposed to be bypassed, when I start moving! Anyone have any thoughts on why this might be occuring?

I've also seen people talk about wiring up some 528t relay box or something in order to bypass the warning message and the functions shutting off while moving..... any truth to this?

HELP!!

Your cell mute wire might not be making contact with the pin inside the d2.

Check the cell wire in the unused pin slot, I had the same problem, found the pin came back out of the plug when I plugged the connector into the unit, I had to mess a bit to get it to work and now its fine.

Alright I'll check it out. I made sure to check it when I was doing the install and it had come out then so I made sure to pop it back in. I double check it and it felt like it was in there.. I'll recheck I suppose, and hopefully that's the problem!

How did you removed the mute wire from the harness? i tried to remove it couple times but no use!! anyhelp!!

EIther pull it out or grab a small flat head screwdriver.

so the cellular wire goes in the secret plug on the back of the D2, it was my understanding i was just supposed to put a ground wire in there...

You can use the cell wire for your ground wire after you remove it from its present location. If you ground it now it will mute your radio.

thanks a ton everyone. i am excited to get it all going. Thank you sooo much for all the fast responses. Definately one of the best knowledge bases for this unit... (and you dont tell me it cant be done like most STORES) ha

Ok, so I just came home last night with my new D2, Ipod connector and XM with Nav info...

I asked around about the bypass and was told there is a gyro in this thing, and you cant bypass it... WTF???? Ok guys i have been searching around, but I am such a newb has anyone made Video Instructiuons for you know guys who read the picture instructions.. I have no clue how they hooked up the parking wire, and the cell wire, and the secret ??? in the box... HELP....

Thanks to all that help....

Yea don't listen to the stores. ... I'm sure it's store policy not to tell you about the bypass. (read: Liability)

It can be done with the D2. Trust me 8)

One other note. The system was installed at a retailer. Any way they could of hooked it up to make the bypass ineffective?
