Thanks Necro!

The last part of the gallery shows the Parking Brake wire and the Ground wire.

You can use the wire tap that is already on the parking brake wire to tap into the ground wire shown. You could also use a tap to connect the Mute wire to the ground wire.

I have confirmed this and you only have to use that one wire to ground. I tapped into the ground on the wiring harness in case I ever need to change the other harness (if I get that new truck I'm eyeing).

tightness. Do one for the Z2 now

When placing the mute wire in the new slot. Does it have to be pushed all the way in til it clicks? I am having a heck of a time getting it in there.

The pin on the mute wire has a flat side and a side that has a gap in it. The gap goes on the inside and the flat side goes towards the outside (where the plastic clip is).

Take a look at the pictures again to see what I mean. Push the mute wire in all the way, then try and pull it out. If it comes out, it's not in all the way.

Nice tutorial, made it a breeze and work like a charm..Thanks

great idea, i hope people find this and stop asking the same question over and over again

Ha! That took me a total of 20 minutes to make.

Don't knock what you don't understand.

Awesome! Necro you are a prince amogst men!

There is a confirmation screen that comes up everytime the NAV is loaded so that is normal.

sorry to be a noob, but wut does the bypass do exactly.

The bypass allows you to use most of the nav functions while the vehicle is in motion. It also allows you to watch video while driving. If you didn't have it, you wouldn't be able to say, search for a new POI while you were moving. You would have to pull over, put on your parking brake, and then do it.

I grounded the mute wire and changed its location, its not working do you have to flip a switch on the unit itself or no?

Not if you're talking about the D3. Did you remember to ground the parking brake wire coming out of the AVIC as well?

Aside from the fact that you're new, don't know how to quote someone correctly and have very poor grammar, I didn't give you the link to this thread to talk shit about one of the more intelligent and helpful guys on this forum.

If you had read through the many stickys at the top of the page, you would have been able to find your answer. Misfit gives great advice and help to many, many people. It is people like you I don't want to hear from because all you do is complain that information isn't spoon fed to you.

hay steve i didn't have a problem with you. actually you helped me out very well (just my brake light stays on now?) i just can't stand people that have a comment that isn't wanted or needed, you get them in every forum. i come across them everyday i write out a citation for speeding or blowing thru a stop sign(attitude and everyone has it). just isn't nessacery. now the forum here is great and if i offended anyone you have my apologize. rwb

the bypass seems easy enough, but why do we need to ground the mute. I am hooking up the Bluetooth to this so is that going to affect its ability to mute all sound when i get a phone call? if so anyway around?

Thanks for this bypass guide. Great pics! It really helped.

You all have been a great help. I finally installed my new D3 in my truck along with the BT adapter and the IPod controller and it's just unbelievable. I found the install to be pretty easy. The only thing that I didn't hook up is the reverse wire and I don't think it's affected anything.

Thanks again to all you guys who helped me out.
