There is a switch behind your warantee sticker on the back of your unit. You have to be careful as to not void your warantee. It does not require any soldering or anything. It was added to create a greater convince to those who are installing them in RV's and boats.
You still have to ground the parking brake wire(green) to the chasis. I would suggest grounding it at the same spot you ground the whole unit(black wire)

I have the way to do it without voiding warranty ..... I am selling this info on ebay . i installed the first one in memphis tn today ........
Why would you sell the information, and not help everyone else out?
Because everyone wants to make a quick buck....
When I get my D3 in about 2 weeks, everyone will know anyway... It's only a matter of time before it gets out
Juice, how did you get around the warranty sticker without destroying it.
Heat it up with a hair dryer, make sure to keep it hot so you do not peel the sticky off of it. Take your time
i vote for ban on xp800 for the spam and bs posts as if to help us out with a way to bypass and all his posts faking that he isnt the ebay seller. pretty low!
ya, posting that you have the info, and will offer it for money is lame....i dont have the d3 nor have I seen the bottom of it, but does the hole in the case exist where you could slide a paperclip or syringe and reach the swich to flip it? saw that method in another forum for, i think, the n3. don't even have to touch the sticker, you just slide a syringe in a vent hole in the case carefully and click the switch over.
ya, its the n3 that method is used for (read previous post) heres a pic of the hole....maybe if you d3 owners are lucky enough that hole is in the vicinity so you can surgically switch it on and off
i think if u ground the green wire the d3 is bypass i ground mine's an try it for a drive an it work i didnet see any problems with doing that . i think pioneer make that one easy for us. so dont go trying to take off the sticker on the back.

Sounds like a fabulous idea. Jerk people off somewhere else. NOT HERE.
Anyway, I'm off to install a D3 and see what I can find out.
I agree.
Ban xp for spam and for being an asshole.
I'm sure that if he had a D2/Z1/N3, he would've been very happy to find out that the information was available for free. No, but he has a D3, and instead of adding his bypass info to the database of information here, he trys to sell it.
ASSHOLE.
pj818mbr, there is absolutely no hole in the vicinity around the sticker.
I'm going outside right now to heat this hole up and try to flip the switch! Haven't gotten my car back together yet from yesterday, found out after taking it apart that crutchfield recommended the wrong harness for my car. So I'm waiting for it to come in today, I got saturday delivery. Hope it comes in soon!
If its just a switch, why would accessing it void the warranty? I'd call and ask if moving that specific sticker voids the warranty... thats definitely ridiculous. lol
Hmm... just lifted that sticker... didn't see any switch! Further elaborations or pictures would be appreciated!
Wrong sticker?
I lifted the big white sticker that has the pioneer logo and says AVIC D3, the serial number and a lot of small print.
There are 2 holes under there, one near the middle of the sticker, but go up and right a tad (this is exposed to the inside of the unit, but i didn't see a switch. Just a couple of resistors I believe), then there is one near the bottom of the sticker in the center (bottom of a screw under there).
Can't feel any holes under any of the other stickers (there are 2 smaller stickers on the top of the unit) so I'm pretty sure I did the right sticker.
just start 'hittin switches'
just kidding
The real way to bypass is to re-pin and ground the mute wire along with the parking brake wire. If you only ground the parking brake you will lose function at about 5 mph. Did it yesterday and worked like a champ.
More details on "re-pin and ground the mute wire" please.
Check this topic.

I have also done it as of 30 minutes ago. It works.
Remove the yellow/black mute wire from the a/v harness and insert it into the empty pin next to it, then ground it with the light green parking brake wire and the regular ground wire. Done
