No.

Since posting I have done some research.  What about accessing the windows CE screen  and altering the  pioneer.ini file ?

Can the software be altered to create an ebrake bypass ?

can not be compared with that of the U.S. version EURO?

Not sure what you mean.  Could you please clarify.

Zeta wants to know if the US software could be compared to the EU software to see why the EU allows the brake wire to be grounded and then edit the US software. Good question.

Or you could just load the Europe version of the firmware and ground the brake wire. You will loose Pandora on screen because it doesn't work overseas but everything else is fine. I did that to my DA-02. Once you do it you can't go back until Pioneer releases a higher firmware.

 That sounds promising.  Do not really care about Pandora.  What European firmware version did you load ?

Including FM ?

Yes that is the correct version. It won't work if you already have the American version of the same firmware loaded. You can't overwrite it. I had 4.14 so it worked. Yes FM still works. You can still listen to pandora but the display will be black on the appradio.

That's great. Thanks for your help. Last question…probably stupid. What language is the install in? Assuming English is an option.

Yes

Great. Thanks again. Have a great weekend.

Yes

Sorry I do have one more question. Would you know if appradio 1.8.2 iPhone app is compatible with firmware 4.16 ?

It may be. I use the newest version.

Thanks

Not sure where & when my micro-bypass gonna arrive. So I've re-update my US 8.30 to UK 8.30, all I need is link the parking wire to chassis ground.

Thank you for that, I grew tired of trying relays and since I do not use Pandora ever

I decided to upgrade the firmware on my AppRadio 2 to the EU version of 8.30 for use with my iPhone 4s.

I was on 8.17 U.S. firmware which was a single .HAT file.

I installed the file SPH-DA100_MMD_EW_Ver08.30.HAT and did not notice any difference except that the unit was

set in the settings for iPhone 5, so I switched it back to "Other" and then installed the second file

SPH-DA100_SYS_EW_Ver08.30.yuk

That made all of the difference in the world.

I just had to ground the brake wire and go to settings and switch the video source setting to "Other" again.

No more video warning ever, and everything works perfectly including the radio since the firmware has no effect

on the A.M. F.M. functions.

For me, this was the perfect solution.

Thanks for everything.

Hello, I have not got my unit yet , it will be installed here in the UK by Halfords on sunday, so at the  moment I know nothing about the unit. From what I understand this thread it about being able to view video while the car is in motion. Is it only video that does not work when the car is moving or are there other functions that will not work. I admit I have not read all 18 pages of this thread but understand that the bypass is a hardware bypass and not a software bypass? Or is there an easier way ie software?

UK units (and I think all non-US units but don't quote me on that) can be bypassed by simply grounding the handbrake wire.  This can be done by attaching it for example to the cage or the radio itself.  Nice and easy!

Hmmm I am told that the retail outlet has to be fit it properly by law, I assume that this handbreak wire comes with the radio? And many thanks for your help

Even if they fit the wire correctly, you should be able to bypass it without delving into handbrake housing or cutting wires. Instead, use one of these:

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_156146_langId_-1_categoryId_255229

Fit the handbrake wire through one half of it, fit any old scrap wire through the other half and attach this scrap wire to ground. You can probably tell I'm not a professional fitter but I've done the same on mine (albeit without the wire being connected to the handbrake wire).

I'm sure if you asked the bloke in Halfords, he'd probably do it for you.

Just have him hook the parking brake wire from the HU to the HU ground wire. UK doesn't require the parking brake wire to be attached to the parking brake.
