Ahhhhh, gotcha......thanks alot for the help

 

Anyone do the bypass, then as soon as you get over 20 miles an hour it says it detects the parking break is improperly hooked up and basically disables video playback.....I'm not trying to use it to watch video, more for the nav features you lose, but yeah any help would be great.....

 

hmm. double check the status of your parking brake ground in the connection status menu to see if it is off or on.. it should be on if you grounded it correctly. and if its on, then its your mute grounded wire. thats wierd that it happens when you hit 20 mph, mine just goes on the moment i turn on the car (i have a bypass kill switch).

 

yeah I have it hooked up to a switch, but I'll double check the mute wire and see if it's properly in the harness

 

The only thing I dont like is the ipod screen. Is there an option for background on that screen or change the icon for the buttons? That looks very generic. I ask because the ipod would what I would use most.

 

which background? the only one i found annoying is that "music" and record background.. but i dont see it that much..

 

Im talking about the ipod control screen. A blank screen with dull buttons out in the middle of nowhere.

 

mine has ever background is set for AV... i can see behind the text and the "scroll" wheel and see my background

 

LOOKS AWESOME!!! I have the d1 and looking to upgrade to the d3... do the black abs plastic parts come with it? thats my biggest downfall to the d1 that it doesnt look clean with those gaps...and i really want the backup camera and it bypassed. any suggestions as to where to get it for the best price? crutchfield?

 

I got the plastic from Crutchfield, its the metra dash kit.. as far as price I saw a Group Buy in the sponsered part about it, maybe check there.

 

sweet.. thanks alot. again, great job!

 

im sorry that im noob but i need help on parkin brake wire.
is that a yellow/black one ?? and how to bypas ?? and how many wire do u have to bypas?

 

I dont remember the color right off hand..

You remove the mute wire from the harness and move it one pin up to the top and ground that wire along with the parking break wire.

 

that sounds really hard lol

 

Nah check out avic411.com to they had some pics up in there forum should help ya out

 

That's a good site. You said it right earlier, move the mute wire up to the empty spot above it, ground that and the e-brake wire, and you're set.

I would recommend though, to still connect the e-brake wire to the e-brake (with a diode in-line. This way, your warning lights don't say your e-brake is on all the time), and having a switch ground that out. This way, if you get pulled over, you can flip the swtich, and now you can show it doesn't work without the e-brake being engaged.

 

i dont know where the e-brake wire is. i dont know how to "ground" the wire... ^^ too hard fo me lol
ima noob...

 

you can tap splice it on the black wire (ground) out of your wire harness. its easier that way. the ebrake wire is that long (it is actually coiled) maalox (winter green) colored wire. lol

 

so all i have to do is wire with ground wire ?

 

i assume you mean tap. and if it is.. yes. lol
