So I have done alot of reading and didnt come across the answer I was looking for. Im looking to do the bypass mode for for the new 940BT and it seems to me that all of the videos I have seen say that they are different from the 930. Is this correct or am I just slow. Thanks in advance

All X9xx bypasses are the same.

Thanks worked like a champ

I am thinking of putting my 930 up on eaby for sale or on CL for sale

and going to buy a 940

are the RCA and Power Harness the same or did they change at all ?

do i have to pull all the wireing out and rewire with new

or can i simply just unplug the 930 hu and plug the 940 into it without having to redo the bypass ?

thanks anyone know this yet

Does this work for the video bypass for dvd and nav on the x940bt.

My 940 wasn't exactly the same but close enough. Instead of the mute wire going one over it actually went up one. Just make sure it's the closest open pin on the row with the colored wires (red, yellow etc.) not the black row. Yes this unlocks all video and nav options while moving above 16mph

This is contradictory to what several others have reported that the 940 bypass is the same for the 920/930 so I would advise no one to follow this advise until further notice. And if this is the wrong proceeder it will likely begin to lock you out soon. This is what has happened with many other units that have been bypassed incorrectly.

Just something for others to keep in mind should the existing method not be working for them (it didn't for me) and again my mute wire wasn't in the same position as others have indicated.

Ok, I've always been a little intimidated by doing anything more than simple wiring and now I see different and conflicting methods of doing a bypass.

The method on this forum for X series bypass: http://avic411.com/i...-series-bypass/

One method on youtube for the 930bt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xjUq0_hCDLQ

And another more simple one for the 930bt: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=syl14gmIfSA

 

Can anybody verify which is the correct method?

Thanks!

As far as moving the wire they are both correct. The second vid leaves out the step where all three wires need to be grounded. Follow the steps in the first vid if you are not sure.

And that post doesn't apply the second gen X series.

Posted Apr 16, 2012 · 12:57 UTC#12

I guess the x940bt is a second gen X series? If so that still seem to leave the question about how to bypass the x940bt unanswered or did I miss it?

Posted Apr 16, 2012 · 14:07 UTC#13

As stated above, all second gen X series bypasses are the same.

Posted Apr 17, 2012 · 02:46 UTC#14

I'm sorry. I'm still confused. I assume now that the x940bt is a second generation X series. So on post #11, are you saying that the first vid in my earlier post is the correct bypass?

Posted Apr 17, 2012 · 02:56 UTC#15

Yes.

Thanks!

Is anyone getting this bypass to work?

It doesn't seem to be working

Posted Apr 25, 2012 · 02:04 UTC#18

I haven't tried it yet.

Hi All,

 

I just recently purchased the x940bt.

 

Does anyone know if there is a listing of companies who provide the service to override the parking brake? I'm from the Western Mass area but am willing to travel to Boston or Connecticut to have it done.

 

Thank you!

If its illegal to view in-dash video in your state no company is going to advertise that they will do the bypass. You have to go to them and ask.

Thank you for that information. I guess I'm hoping that someone reading this has had the work done in the MA/CT area and that I can refer to the company that they used.

Just throw some money at a place on the down low.

My X940 matches the harness in the first video and not the second but the method for removing the pin is better in the second.

If you look at it again its actually the same.

I have done the bypass exactly as describe in the video and it worked for the X940BT..The issue I ran into is the cable is very difficult to pull out. I would suggest paitence and make sure the white tab stay lifted cause it will rip the metal fastner on the cable and the cable is fragil. SO do not rip it out. But I can watch videos while driving as well as control the navigation system as well.
