The wire from the units harness.

Can someone help me out? I got stuck with my exgirlfriend's truck and stereo system(AVIC 6000 NEX) I started the truck and the unit is requiring a password and also gives me a hint on the screen(hint is Oit)whever that is. I dont have such password and the ex is not very helpful. The people who installed the system suggested I shipped back to Pioneer and they can reset it for me(200 bucks later). Any ideas? Highly appreciated it

Just got my AVIC-8000nex and grounded the parking(green) and touch and hold bottom left corner about half inch up and half inch to the right for 10 sec and viola.. I can watch dvd while vehicle in motion. No need for micro-bypass like my old AVH-x4600BT. I'm loving it so far.

works perfectly on 6100 nex

Confirmed 8100 NEX

NOTE:  This appears to be a flip flop so if you do the same instructions again then you will receive "SET OFF" rather than "SET ON"

MUST BE "SET ON" for bypass to work

Well shit. I purchased the AVIC 8100NEX last week and just had a guy at the local shop install it. I went to test a music video and if I have it in gear it will not play. So BAM, here I am trying to find a fix. I went out and turned it off and then put my finger on lower left quadrant but nothing came up, do I have to have it grounded and such before that will even pop up? FFS I hate to have to take it out of my dash just to ground it. Any help would be appreciated. 

Keep trying with the AV off....if you're just a little bit off it won't pop up. It took me a few tries to get it to get the software bypass to work since my finger was just slightly off.

Also make sure you're holding it for like 10 seconds.

There is no AVIC-4000. You have an AVH-4000. So you have have a microbypass.

I see your point since it AVIC-4000 does not have navi. I just moved from a 3 month old AVH unit to a AVIC-4000. Yes it's in the AVIC family!

/\ Anyhoot /\

I went with the 4000 because first it was killer deal already loaded with Firmware for $400 new, I personally could care less about the pioneer navi. I use google maps with Mobile and works better then my friends 8000.

I wanted it for the CarPlay. I really hope can use google maps on screen but if not ever because Apple maps sucks with no live traffic but doubt Apple will allow them to use.

My question is if I wanted to grab up the stand alone navi system. Does anyone think that would be an issues because now the operation system is showing I'm moving? Don't know if anyone has this setup or heard of way someone bypassed it if it even was an issue.

Just used my harness with bypass already wired up from my AVH and works fine because there is no navi. Wondering if it would change things if added since on screen bypass obviously isn't there like 5000+ models.

Or even maybe the screen bypass process will come to light after the stand alone navi install???

Makes me curious just to try it and see what happens.

hello,

i have a avic f60dab,is it the same of the avic 8000? is this method work for my avic? 

many thanks.

If you're not in the US all you have to do is ground your parking brake wire.

Arent you tired of saying this after all these years?

You have no idea!

Wait.......Actually you do!😜

Installed my AVIC-8100nex using a Pac-Audio RP4-HD11. The AVIC parking brake input is connected to the Pac-Audio parking brake output, NOT to ground. Pressed the correct location on the screen and the bypass works. Firmware 1.01 currently.

(I'm sorry.. I REALLY can't resist...)

So if I take a quick run down to Mexico, I don't have to do anything special to bypass?  Will that "stick" when I drive north of the border again?  

Hoestly if you have to ask this question you should probably not be doing your own installs in any way. That being said you splice the wire to a ground wire. The back wire from the unit harness will suffice.

But if certain questions are asked, then the moderator is correct, they shouldnt be messing with 12 volt electronics and the possibility of burning his vehicle down

Yeah I've gotten to where I don't even respond to such post anymore. I use to just delete them outright but I just let them be.

lol bless you for having the patience 8 years later.   

Confirmed that this works on an 8100NEX. Great to see; this factored into my decision to actually buy this head unit.

All I did was hook a T-Tap into the PIoneer wire harness ground, then connected the Pioneer wire harness to it. Then followed the "SET ON" procedure.

(and btw, I'm in the US, lol.)

Hi Guys;

I have attempted the soft parking break bypass on the 8100NEX. The bypass worked fine until I have upgraded the firmware to 1.03 for Android Auto. I have re soft bypassed after the firmware upgrade and still received the error message. Anyone having the same issue?

Please Delete.

The answer to my issues was to simply connect directly to the USB instead of using the MHL adapter. Everything works fine now and the speed wire does not need to be connected.

It should be a new thread. Copy all of this to a new thread before it gets deleted.

Based on some of the Android Auto issues I'm having, I'm almost wondering if on NEX unit you even need to ground the parking brake. I am 100% certain that wire is grounded, and the SET ON/OFF works accordingly as described.
