Not sure if people has more issues with the nagging screen showing up (emergency brake wired incorrectly) mine showed 1 time only. While I was adding a relay/capacitor to my HU to avoid restarting my HU when I start my car, I took a picture what i did with the wire, I grounded this wire and the parking brake together, make sure you ground it on a bare metal of the car... Hope this help...

Or just connect it to the black wire which is ground.  They all go to the same place....

For some reason not all cars ground their black wire directly... they go by ignition too... learned it the hard way  Maybe that causes the nag screen(?) but definitely you can test it out with a tester...  

Thats not causing the nag screen. Improper bypass causes the nag screen.

I am planning to get an AVIC Z150 for my Toyota Tacoma and want to have the NAV/DVD bypass.  Following the text posts, I think I followed the procedure but would appreciate someone here commenting on photo.  Also, any advice for finding the backup and speed sensor wires in a 2013 Toyota Tacoma would be appreciated (Thanks!)

What is your question?

My question is: Am I following the bypass procedure correctly? [and trying to help out others in this forum].  This is a discussion forum or no?

The install manual says nothing about the bypass. What you are looking at in the install is pertaining to the proper install per Pioneer.

Did you look at the figure with the post?

As far as anyone knows that is the bypass but there are apparently problems with it.

The bypass works ( moving the mute wire over one slot to the left...and grounding it) do not ground the parking brake wire, as it will display an error message saying problem with parking brake connection. I've been driving for a week with no issues or problems with any sources

this is good news.  my radio is due in tomorrow.  I wont be installing it right away, need to find some time but happy this seems to be worked out.  can anyone else confirm that not grounding the parking wire and just moving the mute wire works with no errors? 

If that is the case it would be a first from Pioneer so I wouldn't count on it being the proper bypass.

i am surprised that this thread is so slow right now with the radio now available for a few weeks.  Has there been any movement on this?  has the bypass method been confirmed somewhere else?  just curious.  i will be using a pac adapter and it has a brake switch wire.  the only person saying anything lately says you dont need to ground it but only move the mute wire.  just curious.

thanks everyone 

I can almost assure you grounding only the mute wire will fail.

it appears in the other bypass thread that more and more people are finding that you dont need to ground the parking break and only move the pin or wire for mute to the other slot.  so maybe these new models are different.  

Link to the other thread please.

this is from the second page of this thread http://avic411.com/index.php?/topic/36261-z150-bypass/?p=264071 there is a link to a different thread for one of the other new models out now.

I can only find one person in all of these post that makes that claim. No one else seems to want to try it. Ive been on this forum for a long time and have come to realize not to go by a member with only  a few post for something like this. He may be right, but it being a change in direction from Pioneer on the usual bypass proceeder and others not reporting success leads me to be skeptical and to raise caution. 

ok good point.  it seems like this method of grounding the pb wire and moving the mute wire seems to be working.  people only getting the nag screen once and then never again.  thanks for setting me straight.

Can somebody post a pic or explain how to remove the pin with the mute wire so you can move it?  i watched a how to online but it was for the z140 and the wire was on the top of the harness so they could press right into the harness after popping up the lock piece on top and free the wire.  this mute wire is on the bottom.  how would i release the wire?  any help would be appreciated.

thanks

Hello fellows. Newbie here. First post. Let the lashings begin.

I've been reading this thread and trying keeping up but will probably have questions. My z150 should be arriving shortly. VBLUE42, do you feel Pioneer has integrated the bypass into the z150 differently than the previous models (z140, 130 etc)? From reading I get the sense no, however I also feel people are not as convinced that it works the same as it did in the previous models or should I say that there has not been an overwhelming sense that this is "sure fire" / "not up for discussion" type of thing. 

I get the impression that it sorta works works with caveats. aka, random nag screen. 

I had an Alpine icsx7hd prior to this and liked it except for I felt is was not 'semi-future proof' enough (lack of hdmi port for one). So I sent it back in exchange for the z150.

The Alpine had an electronic bypass that was wired into the harness to achieve this. Is it because of how seemingly more simple this technique is to bypass the pioneer that it does not need the electronic type to bypass?

I dont know but it sure seems that way.

Ok z150 should be arriving this weekend. I'll try to follow the instructions and see what happens with the bypass. Maybe try to get some pics or something.

I would like to know exactly what to do though. I'll find my mute wire and move it (somewhere) and the ground it along with the parking brake wire. That somewhere is where I need help.

when you move the mute wire let me know how you did it.  its on the bottom of the harness and i dont know how to release it.

thanks

Thing is, do I necessarily have to move the wire or can I get another pin and place it in the open slot, then ground the new wire w/ parking brake? I don't think I need to move as long as I get another to fit correctly.

My issue is where exactly do I put the new wire? Which open slot?
