you either didnt ground both wires or you put the mute in the wrong pin

hey guys...got a question

i just spoke to an installer round my way...so far, he has given me the best pricing..200 or so. which beats 350. so..my problem is that he said there is no bypass for the d3 yet. he said that he just put one in his own and he has tried everything and it did not work.

at 1st, i did not believe him because i told him about you guys and i asked him what he did. and he told me he took the wire and stuck it in the empty slot right above it and it seemed like that is what you guys have been talking about. and he said that it did not work. he would love to do it to his, but he said there is nothing to bypass it yet.

can you guys give me a more detailed step by step breakdown for the bypass so i can show him or even guide him (god forbid) on how to do this.

he wants to do it for his own unit too. please help!! and since im cartechretarded, i duno how to explain it to him.

dont you still have to ground the parking wire?

yea, tat's that he said he did as well, he said that for the d1 and 2 that it was done like that but for the d3, it was not. he said he did the ground and moved the wire.

Ask him if he grounded the wire in the open pin hole AND the light green parking brake wire. If it still doesn't work, find someone who knows what they are doing

do you think you guys could give me a step by step on how to do it...i know there's a pic, but i ate paint chips when i was younger....

Step 1: Move Mute Wire to empty slot as shown above.

Step 2: Ground the newly moved Mute Wire

Step 3: Ground Parking Brake Wire

Done

Okay the bypass works for me too.

 

Only thing is, now my car disables the controls if the car is in motion. After driving about a 1/4 mile I got a screen from the unit saying it detected that the parking brake wire was improperly disconnected. Then I noticed the navi search controls were disabled. The second I stopped at a traffic light they came back and then as soon as I started moving again they went away again.

Hi,

I'm having the same issue. What was your ultimate fix to get it working? Thank you in advance,

Elliott

he doesnt know what he's doing, i've done it three times in the last five days. works fine when you ground both wires. make sure you move mute wire to the right pin

I cleaned this up.

For the record:

MisFit was referring to jaytrey's post about his installer. He wasn't personally attacking anyone.

Grow up guys.

thank you for that

I did the D3 bypass steps, but what exactly should I do as a test to verify the bypass is working ?

Drive it past 15mph and see if it will play video. See if you have the ability to enter new distinations using address search. Also, you should never get a warning about your parking brake beind connected incorrectly.

thanks! very helpfull!

I got the same issue as well. I am 100% sure that the mute wire was moved to the right location and that it as well as the PB wire are grounded properly (confirmed using my multimeter).

I did everything for the bypass (moved the mute wire, and grounded the parking brake) and it worked for the first 2 hours of my drive up to Santa Rosa. However, on the way back it reported that the Parking Brake is connected wrong and started disabling the functions it doesnt want me to have in motion.

Ideas?

Double check your connections. You need the pin to be firmly set into the new hole in the harness and you need a good ground for that wire and the parking brake wire

Here are some clear pictures I took close up of it incase you guys wanna use these also

RCA cable for the bypass

Picked out wire with eyeglass screwdriver

Bypass finished

copied me with the eye glasses screw driver!

man...sorry guys, i know i have already brought it up once, but i just called two more installers in my area and they both said that they cannot bypass the unit because it is all firmware related. it can not be done manually by grounding and moving the wire into the empty slot. he was like yea i'm apart of avic411 too and it does not work. every one on this site said that it does. so is this guy just retarded or wtf is going on.

I am very experienced with soldering and moving pins around connections. I am 100% sure that I connected them properly, and that they remain connected properly, as my multimeter shows basically no resistance through those pins.

Have you tried using the reset button?

Yup. It rebooted the system, and compained about the wire again. Though I'm not sure that the reset did all THAT much, as it didn't reset the 3D calibration settings at all.

I did it and it works for me, just like the instructions say, tell your installer on here, if he is on here to look a little harder.

There's a video on you tube showing a guy driving with a dvd playing, so it definately works for a least one person. Some installers refuse to do the bypass. I can't help but wonder if these guys have been ordered by their boss to lie about the bypass, because if they admit they won't do it, you might go somewhere else.

He is apparently just retarded. I wouldn't want him touching my car after he pretty much admitted that he can't read
