I just installed my z120bt. I am attempting the bypass, thought I had it all right, went out driving, video shut down and message came up about parking brake, I will take it apart and make sure I didn't make the hole in the pin to big and try that but is there any other suggestions? I assume its ok to bundle the ground wire from the deck, the ground wire from the ford harness (its a f250 if that matters), the parking brake and the moved mute pin all together or do I have to run a seperate ground for the moved pin and the parking brake by themselves?

Frustrated but want it to work....

In this case, a ground is a ground. It is just a circuit. Sometimes, for audio, you need to be concerned about noise from other sources, but not here. Just make sure it is a good ground. Your issue is probably that the pin is not seated all the way.

Hey, got it working! It must have been the pin not connecting. Pulled it out, slightly crimped the end of the pin, put it all back together and never got the parking brake message and was driving around the block watching a movie and had all my phone functions.

Now I just have to figure out the other features on the deck.

Great site and will be back ALOT!

Hello,can you please tell me if you can bypass the f10bt the same way as the z110? and can someone post here a picture of the power harness.

Thank you

Yes, the F10BT is the same as the Z110BT. I don't have a pict of the harness. Search YouTube for Z110, or Z120 and watch the videos. I'm sure there are detailed instructions posted already on this site.

i have got this f10bt after a swap, instaled in my car (passat 03'), everything was ok dvd,all function in menu working while driving and then i restored it to the factory settings and now i can only use it to listen muzic, the only functions available in the settings menu are av settings. And i saw that in the power harness there isn't the light green cable used for parking brake, it was another cable that was grounded.

Can you please tell me the pin location of the light green parking brake wire,or the wire color next to him?

can it be a software problem?

This should show you how the bypass is supposed to be done. There are a couple other videos available. Or google "Z110 bypass". If you really don't have a green PB wire in the power harness, sounds like someone messed-up the bypass. I don't have a harness break-out, but each wire should have a lable. Also, you can still get the installation instructions on the Pioneer web-site, which shows the color codes of all the wires. However, it doesn't show the pin-out in the connector. If someone modified your charness, (removed the BU wire), you can likely buy another on ebay.

Here's a couple links on ebay with pics that show the harness. You can almost make out the green PB wire location

Thank you very much, i think i will buy a new harness because i don't know what is the pin location for the parking brake...the odd thing is that the unit was working just fine till i restored it to the factory settings.

hello, i managed to do the bypass for my unit and i was wondering if anyone noticed the colour banding(especially in the sky) while playing videos?

for a high end unit im not very satisfied with the video playback
