I installed my 900bt on 2/8/09

 

I have a 2005 Ford Explorer (if that makes any difference?)

 

i need help on bypassing the parking brake!

 

i wanna be able to watch dvd's/ipod videos/ and everything else while my suv is in motion!

 

i tried bypassing it by moving the mute wired to the 4th slot between the two black wires. and then grounding it with the parking brake wire. and was UNsuccessfull.

 

the unit will not let me watch any videos/let me access anything with the phone/navi settings/ settings in general.

 

i would love to hear what anyone thinks i should do or try! :)

 

should i wire everything back to specs? should i try a hack? if so....how should everything be wired?

you did the bypass wrong, have a bad connection, etc. there's no maybe as to whether it works. re-read the directions and redo everything and you'll find your mistake.

Hardware bypass for Dummies thread, with pictures,

 

If it's not working, you did something wrong.

Parking brake wire, and ex-Mute wire that was moved, ground both, end of story, it will work.
