well as far as i know, Euro units just need to be grounded.

Running latest firmware?

 

Nope.  I'm actually running 8.14.  I'm not going to fix it if it isn't broke.

FYI....You can go to any autoparts store and buy any 4pin relay wire it up just like the original post here, minus the PAC TR7 and it works fine. I've done 4 different cars with appradio2

I confirm that for the European market, to make the bypass just put the green wire to ground. Apparadio bought in Italy.

hello to everyone,  i just got my appradio 2,  and used this thread to set up my tr7.  i didn't read all 15 pages of this forum because all the info i needed i found it in the first 4 posts.and thanks to the people making this possible.   now,  i just want to add some of my findings with the tr7.

-first,- you do not need a relay to make it work.  you can just wire white and orange directly to the brake input on the appradio,  if you are not comfortable with wiring directly, you can use 2 diodes with the cathodes connected one to orange and one to white on tr7, and both anodes to brake wire on appradio.  i tried both ways and they both work.

-the instructions on the tr7 are incomplete.  it does not mention that after programming each timer you get 4 flashes.  

-somewhere (maybe not in the instructions)  it is mentioned that the tr7 in the black case  (correct me if i am wrong), does not include the bonus modes (17-23 i think)    mine is the one with black case and i was able to select all those modes.

- i did not want to try the switches, because they annoy me after a while.  i used them before with other units,  and dont want them any more.  thats why i chose the tr7.

- my timers are set to  10,  3, and   5;  and options are   on   on   off    this secuence happens every 3 or 4 minutes  (i dont remember the exact number)

-my first timer is 10 because from reading the operation part of the manual, i assumed that just like in alpine units, there is a foot brake sensing wire on the appradio,  but there isn't, so since you are not using the blue wire,  first timer doesn't matter.  

-something i did not try was the alpine mode (mode number 2)  but it looks like it might work.

-and i also found that grounding the brake wire makes it work, but not every time. 

hope this info helps.

by the way,  i used mode #12

sweet bud, glad you got it all to work right!

alrighty guyz,  i tried relay and tr7 but it was major pain to program it, it almost cost me over 40 bucks and unit lost the program over the time with out the power but here is how i done it with same cost and program the unit in 2 mintues without the relay

i used TR7-PRO. so if you have bnot ordered ur parts, i do recommend you to go with tr7-pro because you wouldnt need a relay and you can program it with your computer or android phone.

hit me up if you have questions

AMAZON has this solution, it works, its tiny & elegant.

yep, those have been discussed, a couple times now, many pages ago...

tr7 is only $20,  and you don't need a relay with tr7 either.  i agree with you on the programming part,  but once you figure it out is a piece of cake.

yeah i know its cheaper, but that extra 10-15 bucks saved me lota time

If the euro version works just grounding the parking brake sensor wire, couldn't US users just flash with euro firmware and ground the wire?

I hate to be the one not reading every thread, but there's a whole lot of relay-talk here... and I don't know if it will be necessary on my unit. Just ordered a DA 100 (Pioneer got a cashback deal here in Sweden now) and have one quick question: Can someone confirm that a plain ground connection is enough to bypass a European DA 100, running latest 8.30? Is it as simple with the DA 100 as it was with my current old F900 (European also)?

 

Cheers!

Well was it that simple then?

A simple ground on the p brake wire is all that is required for Euro units.

If the euro version works just grounding the parking brake sensor wire, couldn't US users just flash with euro firmware and ground the wire?

for starters, too many people are having problems using a basic install part. worse case scenario wiht messing that up is that the bypass doesnt work. if you have a problem or mess something up flashing the firmware, you can brick your system up.

Nice, installed a new AppRadio (Euro version), clipped the parking brake wire to the harness ground wire, worked perfect, thanks for confirming

Hello guys, I am kind of new to the whole Appradio 2 thing being that I just got it yesterday. I am in the process of installing it and I was reading around but I have not been able to get it confirmed whether the relay bypass still work with the latest firmware 8.3. i have been doing some research all over but i have not been able to get a definitive answer. Can someone help?

Assume it does unless you see it reported here that it doesn't.

Have been tossing around with the bypass on a relay for ages and have come to the conclusion that (if using a relay on the remote wire), you have to open the relay first, by selecting the 'sound-off' icon pretty much straight after you fire up, then go into your 'apps' icon and the delay before the relay closes again seems enough to keep the AR(2) happy.

Just my findings if that assists anyone.

For what its worth I am using the Microbypass and it works without issue. For twenty bucks without having to use a potentially complicated programing proceeder it cant be beat. And according to the guy that runs this company, he is contracted by Pioneer to provide all the bypasses for their units at trade shows and gets the bypass info straight from them. He also offers a 5 year guarantee so if they do change something in firmware that renders the bypass useless he will replace it with an updated one for free.

somebody has flipped to the darkside!   ROFL

LOL.

Ordered mine. Waiting for shipment.

Ok so I just installed my TR7 Pro from PAC ($30 on Amazon), and the unit seems to be bypassing just fine.  I have an APPradio da02 which is a 1st Gen installed in my 2004 F-150.

I used the "Clarion" Preset

Attached the following wires.

TR7 Pro   -   Radio

Green      -   Blue

Blue         -   Green

Black       -    Black (Ground)

Red         -    Red (12v Switched)

I'll update after a while.

Something else I found out...  Before the TR7 Pro, I had a simple relay installed and that worked, IF, I did the following:

1) Turn the Truck on (ACC or start)

2) Wait for relay to click

3) Turn truck off (make sure the radio turns off too, you may have to open your truck door to get the radio to switch off)

4) Turn the truck back on 

5) Wait for relay to click 

That's it... Annoying? Yes! But, if you already installed a relay, at least it will get you by for a while.

Can the software be altered to create an ebrake bypass ?
