Hi all,

I am new to this forum but I had to jump on based on my new purchase.

 

Im gettign ready to travel across the US from Virginia to California and I just had a new Z140BH installed.

Here is what is going on:

 

1. Installer informed me that he would bypass to allow me to watch video on my trip - I trust him completely

2. message says parking brake lead improperly installed

3. DVD'd play when in park and in Drive ( seems that the bypass works)

4. after driving for a few minutes a warning message comes up and the video goes away

5. after slowing down for a red light the video returns ( this continues in an on and off state)

 

I am wondering if the normal bypass worked properly but now for some reason there is a GPS / Motion based parameter that senses video playback and motion and disables the viewing.

 

HAs anyone else heard or experienced this and if so, is there anyway around this?

I havent done any firmware upgrades and this is out of hte box factory.

 

Thaks in advance.

I searched as many formums as I could and I didnt see anyone reporting this already.

PS

Everyting else in the system works properly

Actually, I recall several reports of this...because the installer didn't know how to do the bypass correctly. Sounds like he just grounded the PB wire.

I had that problem with my bypass because the white plug on the back of the radio was not seated well enough. If it's intermitent I would try that... if it's all the time the bypass was done correctly.
