hello,

this is my first post and not a good one. i just recieved my avic d3 today and desperately tried to remove the mute wire. after i did i broke the metal hook peice. i was wondering if it will still work, and bypass without that metal peice?

basically i moved the mute wire to the top hole and pushed it as far as i could go. if the pin on the d3 touches the mute wire. will the bypass still work without the metal peice?

as long as the mute wiring in the empty slot and the parking brake wire are ground it should work... just make sure everything makes contact and ur all set

If you are not using an amplifier, you can pirate the blue/white wire out of it's slot. Next time, be more careful, Magilla.

thank you very much for the tips. i'll give it a try tonight when i get home from work

did my tedious d3 install on my g35 today, and drove at 40+km around the block with dvd playing. I think my bypass worked:) thnx guys!

it says : System has dectected improper connection of the parking brake lead. I grounded my parking brake and mute wire to my nissan harness ground wire?

Try grounding the parking brake, mute wire, AND radio ground to a chassis ground instead of through the wiring harness.

And try resetting it

Many Nissans do not have a wire in the factory harness that matches up with the black wire in your aftermarket harness, so it is best to pull a ground from the metal mounting bracket for the radio.

i grounded everything to the chassis, but i'm still receieving the parking break lead erorr. maybe i havent pushed in the mute wire in deep enough to establish a connection?

Could be, have you reset the unit after all this?

yea i've done a couple of resets while the nav was off, and 5 while the unit was on?

Shoot it. A .44 will get rid of that message.

Its not the Mute wire... its your parkbrake wire. The light green wire.... make sure thats in all the way and make sure its grounded properly.

bought a new wire with the metal bracket. plugged it into the required slot and booted everything up.. now it works like a charm:) thanks guys!

Fantastic!!!!!!

way to know what you are talking about... the bypass involves grounding 2 wires, the parking brake, and the mute wire (which has been removed, and reinserted in a different slot)

man, i just got my D3 today, and if i hadn't read your post about grounding the green AND the "mute" wire i would be kicking myself for sure. i was just going to do the yellow one.

thanks again

Don't forget to move the mute wire....
