Anyone get a software bypass (similar to the alternative bypass method for the F series) yet?

I finally got my bypass to work. Found out I had to really make sure the wires were grounded well.

post up some pictures of the install and unit in operation so we can be envious

I just completed my install following these instructions and it works great - here's a video of it:

Make sure you've properly reinstalled the yellow wire and that it is flush, and that your yellow and green wires are properly grounded together.

I just installed my AVIC Z110BT with the bypass described in this thread. I am getting the e-brake warning. I am going to pull the HU, and verify my ground.

Those of you that have this working, did you use the ground wire from your vehicle's harness, or did you ground the wire to a location on your vehicle?

Thanks.

Yea check your ground. I used the ground from the harness and it is working fine for me. I have had this going strong sense Friday.

Installed mine Sunday night, mod works great with the DVD, AV2 (HKS Camp2), and Ipod. Now, I just wish this thing had a remote .

I pulled the HU out of my truck today, and re-did my ground. I found a couple of wires that had ground lugs on them, and were attached to the support for the dash. I made a new ground wire, and tied the harness ground, yellow mute wire (moved one slot over, per the directions), and the green parking break wire together. I attached this wire to the ground lug. After I connected everything, I powered the unit up. This time, no e-brake warning upon boot up. I figured I was home free, until I took a test drive.

After I got up around 10 mph, the e-brake warning came back on the screen. I am able to verify that on the system info screen (I think), the unit shows that the parking break is on, regardless of the actual position of the break.

Any thoughts? I'm stumped....

Its not done correctly. Redo yours grounds. Put the ebrake and the mute wire together and attach them to your ground.

I'll give that a try. My plan is to give the harness/radio it's own ground, and provide an independent ground for the moved mute wire and the green e-brake wire after I re-solder them together. Hopefully, that will do the trick.

All ground wires should have a common groung point. Also confirm that the wire you moved is fully seated in the connector.

I pulled the HU from my truck to verify all of my connections. I checked the connectors to ground with a ohm meter, and they all checked out. I pulled the moved mute wire, and installed it in the connector again. I put the HU back in, and was very careful when I seated the white connector, making sure that it seated properly. With the dash apart, and the HU connected, I took a quick test spin. Everything seemed to work. I went home, put the dash back together, and gave it another test drive. Everything seems to be working for now....hopefully, re-seating the connector did the trick.

If not, would it be possible to disconnect the speed sensor wire? What effect would that have on the GPS NAV?

If you disconnect the VSS it will not help the bypass. The unit has an internal gyro, and knows when it is moving based on gyro and gps satelite signals. The VSS just helps it to be more accurated when you first turn on while it aquires satelites, or when the sky is blocked (tunnels, parking garages, etc).

Hey guys does anyone know if this by-pass will work on the UK version F10BT ? I should be picking mine up Thursday (units delayed coming in to the UK) I cant wait to git that sucker in

if its the same as the 900 then all we do in the UK is ground the lead that goes to the handbrake afaik - not as complicated as the US

I had my guy do the bypass and upon start-up, a message comes up before the "do not operate while driving" screen that says that there is an issue with my emergency brake lead wire (not verbatim). It asks me to press "OK." So, I have to press two OKs to get to my home screen. A little annoying. How do I get around this? My stereo guy is busy until next week. I can wait till then but I want to gather info so I can explain it to him. Thanks

How do I get around this?

Get him to do the bypass correctly. The instructions are clear in this thread and others in this section of the forum.

Gee thanks for stating the obvious LOL. I didn't refer him to this thread because I gave him the benefit of the doubt of doing it correctly since he's worked extensively with Pioneer decks. However, this is the first 110 he's worked on. My question was more like, "has anyone else had this happen?" in reference to the message I get upon start-up.

Thanks

The only way to get around it, is to do it correctly. I know it may sound obtuse, to some degree, but the simple fact is that something (grounding, pin change, etc.) is not correct. I've heard this at least a hundred times since I posted the instructions on the 110 bypass.

There have been numerous folks that have argued up and down and all around that their installation was perfect, and that it measures this or that on the multimeter, so it just must be something else. However, in every instance they went back, followed the instructions closely and really scrutinized their work, and viola, it started working just like magic!

You're not being obtuse at all and I appreciate the feedback. I will speak to my stereo guy. I wish I could do this stuff myself, but I'm simply inept when it comes to this kind of stuff.

Why would that be? less complicated I mean, just had a look at the power lead and the F10BT has the yellow mute lead, was that on the 900's as well?

tbh i'm not sure - had mine upgraded to the F10 yesterday and it was just a straight swap all the wiring was the same afaik - only took an hour

So, I think i pretty much know what the problem is but wanted a 2nd opinion, or 4.

I just installed my z110BT, love it... when its on. The problem I am having is that when the car is in ACC mode, it starts up and runs like it is supposed to, but when I turn the car to ON or Start the car up. the screen gos all black with a message that says "Caution: Screen may appear reversed", not word for word, but damn close.

Could this be because I did the bypass wrong? Thats pretty much my first thought but wanted a confirmation before I started fiddling some more. We went back thru the wiring harness and double checked everything including if it was seeing the voltages it needed and the grounds was supposed to and everything seems to be checking out fine. So frustrating. Are you supposed to remove the 0.5|AMP|0.85 red vampire box from the end of the parking break when you tie it to ground?

The only time you should get that message is when your viewing the back up cam. If you go into your rear view cam settings make sure the polarity is set to BATTERY and not GND.
