Okay, clearly we've got a case of installer-error, but it seems to not detect the P-brake on:

 

1) Did I bypass? Yes.

-bypass pin (mute wire) seems to be 100% seated correctly; it looks like the others

-bypass pin is grounded (0 resistance to ground)

-parking brake pin is grounded (0 resistance to ground)

 

2) Getting a "configuration error" screen?

-No; it just disables everything that you'd suspect they would for no p-brake.

 

3) Did you RECHECK the bypass?

-Yes, I did; I wiggled the wires, I cut and redid the ground, everything 3 times

 

----------------

I bypassed my D3 with no trouble and read about all the issues everyone here is having. How does it detect the difference between the p-brake being on and a regular ground?

 

Any help would be appreciated. I don't mind ditching the bypass for now if I can get basic config back -- how do you bench test one of these units?

 

Thanks guys; extra points: I read that 'any ipod cable' will work, but that's clearly not the truth; I'm guessing it needs to have an audio/video tail in addition to the USB connector?

 

Thanks!

I managed to reverse the backup wire and p-brake when re-pinning the power harness.

 

Now, on to getting used to the new interface; some weird stuff there . . .
