In the 09 Xb I have a factory installed Pioneer AVIC 900 which plays DVD and has GPS. I know you can bypass so you can have DVD on the go and also access to the adress to full functions of the GPS.

So..... I moved the mute wire to the second position... I then ran a ground to the mute wire and the green wire as instructed.... but I still loose the address portion of the GPS and the ability to see the DVD once the brake handle is lowered.

What have I missed here? I also saw somewhere that there is both a hardware and a software bypass. This would be the hardware, so what is the software bypass?

 

The mute wire and the parking brake wire have to be grounded for it to bypass

 

AVIC411.com will answer all you're questions

 

I have had the F900 BT since the day it came out. all i did was move the mute wire to an empty slot and bam! video on the go! But i only use it for shows, to dangers to drive with and the ticket is very high!

 

Darksides is correct, you will also need to ground the parking brake wire. Here is a wiring chart for our radios. Our parking brake wires on the RS6 are a different color, so go by the chart!

 

I will go into the dash again tonight and be sure that is what I did, but I'm sure it is.

I don't want the video to work while driving, I am more interested in having all the GPS functions active while driving. I HATE having to pull over to put in a new address when my wife or child could do it while we are rolling down the road.

Thanks for the responces guys. Back to the garage....

 

I think you did it wrong, my Emergency Brake wire was not green!

 

Did you get it working?

 

:-) Well.... my B is torn to bits right now getting a new audio system installed. It's gonna sound awesome. So when I pulled the deck out again tonight I found that the :green: wire went to location # 11 and a RED/WHT went to # 9. The green wire in # 11 was a small gauge and the wire in # 9 was twice the size.

Long story short, I re-connected the green wire to the part I cut off and then joined the MUTE & # 9 RED/WHT wires to ground. I have not had a chance to test it, but will in a couple of days when the battery is reconnected. Hope it works.

 

Sounds like you got it this time. I did the same thing and I kept going up on-line and telling people "I don't have a dark green wire" and nobody would believe me. Glad the diagram helped you. What "new" are you installing?

 

OK, how in the heck do you get the rear door, speaker wire through the B-Pillar connector? I can't figure out how to even get it unplugged. I have some good wire for the door speakers, got the fronts done already, but what's up with the rear doors?

SOMEONE PLESE HELP!!!!
