Don't flame .. I DID SEARCH.

Now for my question. I just ordered a F90BT (gets delivered tomorrow) and i want to know what is the suggested method for "bypass". I have seen the hardware bypass and the software bypass and both are pretty straight forward. My issue is that i have read in numerous different threads that the software bypass still requires some hardware modding. Is this true? or can i have them install my head unit without ANY modifications to the harness etc... and then just modify the parking brake speed in the .ini files as per the software mod suggests?

Please let me know and thank you for your support.

id say do the hardware bypass, and ground the parking brake.

Then that will fix the problem, if you happen to have more problems then do the .ini bypass and you'll definitely not have any problems

Do the Hardwire while you are back there soldering all your wires and be done with it. works great. just my .02

HAHA, I'm not a soldering type of guy, but yes if you back there soldering, then just switch that mute wire and ground the brake and you will be fine.

No worries

The hardware bypass is easier, takes less time, and is still reversible if your unit crashes. Regardless of which one you do, you still have to ground the Parking brake wire so what's another wire when you're already back there?

so now for my other newb question. When i relocate the mute wire. Would my next step be to tap into the ground wire and hook both the mute wire and the parking brake wire to it?

Good question no one has really elaborated.

I think you just switch the mute wire and ground the parking brake and your golden.

I agree with catch too.

to do the software bypass, you STILL need to ground the parking. to do the hardware, you STILL need to ground the parking wire too. so whats one more mute wire?

you can ground then both into the ground wire provided by your harness.

DONT FORGET TO MOVE THE MUTE WIRE FROM PIN 1 TO PIN 4 WITH A FLATHEAD SCREWDRIVER.

details are in my sig.

so just to verify... when i move the mute wire all i have to do is tap into the Mute wire (in its new location) and the parking brake wire.. and connect them to the ground wire?

listen to what your heart is telling you and i love you all.

Does moving the mute wire ground it? or after i move it do i still have to tap it to the ground?

i know its a stupid question but i have to ask....

Yes after relocating the mute wire ground that and the emergency brake wire.

listen to what your heart is telling you and i love you all.

OK I have to ask...........what's with the I Love you all comments lol

HAHAHA you starting to notice that too huh? I like to love and I think its better to spread the love around then flame on noobs. Even though the answer has been answered already and there are step-by-step instructions on how to bypass. This dude here ask the same question, we give him the answer, and he ask it again, thats not all. He even PMs me asking me the question we are answering now, like seriously c/ped it to me asking me if he should ground the mute and parking break wires or not. Which i did politely answer earlier, i replied politely, and everyone else did too... and the DIY also says to in the step-by-step. I mean when we say move the pin and ground it... that KINDA means its not grounded yet.

I dunno, all I know was that I did the bypass... without asking for any help, searched it and did it without a hitch and i got no love for it. i feel like should get a medal or a cookie at least. instead im just rewarded with mobile porno on the freeway to school.

but ill spoonfeed and not flame, even though im pretty sure this guy didnt really search, SINCE THE DETAILS ARE ACTUALLY IN MY SIGNATURE (answers are kinda staring straight at em). Just pointing out the obvious and loving everybody.

so love on. no harm in that =)
