Avic D3 bypass
Anyone with a D3 get the bypass set up correctly. I followed all teh instructions from the avic311.com forums. I asked questions there but didn't get much of a quality response. So far i have the parking brake wire grounded to the aftermarket harness's ground wire, along with the other ground wires. I also have grouned the yellow mute wire at the factory harness ground wire. I have tested it a few times and after a few minutes and over 5 miles an hour, i get the screen that says i have to have the parking brake on. Anyone with any experience in this have any advice.WHen i go to the settings menu on the screen, it says i have the parking brake on. is that suppose to be like that when the bypass is done correctly? Thanks again, and any information would be great!!Ryan

Ryan,You also have to move the yellow/black mute wire pin to a different slot in the connector. Did you do this step?Here's the link.http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtop...t=4670&start=0Mike

so i got it all installed, bypass was working. then it went out. any suggestions please? Before i put the car all back together, i tested it, drove around about 10 minutes, worked great. I then decided to put the dash together and stick the radio in. Everything worked including the bypass, for about 10 minutes. Then it came up with a screen that saying the parking brake is not hooked up properly and i lost use of my navigation while moving. Does anyone have any experience with bypassing the D3 who could assist me? If your close to Toledo, Ohio come on over and i'll pay you to do it right hahaThanksRyan

If yours is like mine was, Those wires are in there tight. sounds like you are loosing your ground to me,, with all the wires pushed in there tight might be putting pressure on the harness or something and somehow loosing the ground...I used my soilder gun and made sure all the wires were bonded good and found a good ground to the car. Works fine,,tells me my parking brake is on all the time,, goodluck

I just took all the ground wires and I think a ran them to the one big with the radio. I then ran the ground wire towards the steering wheel and grounded it to one of those big bolts,,,works fine. Oh I did have a problem after installing the vcc wire,,or the speed sensor wire,,stero was picking up the signal,,but lost my speedometer on the car!! checked the connections a million times and finally to fix it all i did was disconnect that wire from the harness and plugged it back in and all is well now.....

The only solution for the Z2 will be a software over write, it is not a hardware bypass like the Z1, you need a software engineer who knows Pioneer software and overwrites their code. GOOD LUCK on that.

The only thing that I tried on the Z2 was grounding the dimmer cable (orange/white) and seems to bypass it. Navigation background would be stuck on daytime though.

No way dude that's too easy! Did you ground it during the boot process or just ground it period? If that really works then it has been overlooked by alot of ppl.Questions/Comments:Ernie@Jonspd.com

A customer of ours purchased a "bypass diagram" on Ebay today and is sending it to us via E-Mail. I havn't seen it just yet but the diagram suggests that disconecting the antenna and vss wire (via switch or relay) will inhibit the Z2's gps capabilities and override the internal gyro - allowing video to be viewed while mobile. It sounds a little extreme, but I'll post as soon as I check it out and verify. Also, I have found through research here at the shop that putting a switch on the P. Brake and Dimmer wires - and switching in a sequence will work, but only for a day or so. Not sure why yet, but we're still working on it.

I did the first one and it works the key is not to damage the middle of the antenna wireAVIC-Z2 BypassTry which ever one you feel is best for you. These are the two that Ihavefound so far. I am still trying to find more if there are any. I wouldsuggest using the second one as it seems to me to be a better bypass.This is the first bypass that we found. We will keep trying to find abetterone, but this does work if you follow these instructions correctly.I am not offering this as a perfect solution for the bypass problem, just as a temporary fix for watching video without an image reversed message until a real bypass is figured out. So, please don't stop working on one guys!I recommend that only installers with some experience perform this work since some of it might be confusing to some. Once this work is performed, you will be able to watch video and use all of the nav control functions while moving when the switch is activated but, you will have to turn the switch back off to use the Nav because it will not be able to keep up with your location while bypassed. Once the switch is turned back off it should only take a moment for the Nav to figure out where you are.First, the parking brake wire should be grounded. You will also need the Speed Sense(VSS) to be hooked up. This wire should be connected because when turning the bypass back off it will cut the time it takes to find your location in half. You also need this wire because the gyro will still block the video if you hit a strong bump at high speeds(this only happened once and I was trying to make it happen) and that wire will be needed to reset the bypass without stopping. You will need two relays and a toggle switch. The relays can be taped together and wired to work the same way using the toggle switch to provide a ground to activate both of them. The power to activate them should be from a key power wire. The first relay will be used to separate the VSS wire. The second relay will be used to separated the ground shielding (the outer layer) inside of the cable for the nav antenna. When this is done properly, the nav will no longer know the vehicle is moving once the switch is flipped. The gyro can shut down the video if the vehicle hits a severe pothole but, this happens very rarely and all you have to do to correct this is flip the switch off and then back on. This shows the nav a speed signal for a second to fool it into thinking you have stopped again.These mods should be easy for most installers. It is very important that the center of the antenna wire not be cut or damaged! I will include some picture links to show how I did this stuff. If the end user uses video more than Nav (like me), I recommend the relays be wired as normally open. For those who use the Nav more, they should be wired as normally closed. This will prevent the relays from being constantly active. Don't forget to use key power to power the relays so that they will only work when the car is running to avoid battery problems.Again, this is only a temporary fix and not a real bypass. I hope that all of you will keep working on a true bypass. Going from my Z1 that had a real bypass to this is a real disappointment.http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t299/desoinc/DSC00025-1.jpghttp://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t299/desoinc/DSC00028.jpghttp://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t299/desoinc/DSC00029.jpghttp://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t299/desoinc/DSC00031.jpghttp://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t299/desoinc/DSC00032.jpgHere is the second bypass.The only mod I have is a toggle switch on the e-brake.1) Power the vehicle and unit with e-brake on and the vehicle in park.2) hit the reset button on the lower left screen panel with a pen.3) Let the unit reboot.4) I have my unit to output to a rear monitor - I turn on the monitorandsee the front screen.5) Start a DVD and let it play for a few minutes while still in parkande-brake on.6) Power o

Got an e-mail from a guy yesterday about this. He says he thinks that the installer tried this because his AVIC is stuck in daytime mode, and that it does not work.Questions/Comments:Ernie@Jonspd.com

JUST GROUND IT PERIOD!VIDEO BYPASS AND ALL NAVIGATION ICONS WORK WHILE DRIVING."Grounding the orange/white shouldn't damage the head unit because its just an input"

No way dude that's too easy! Did you ground it during the boot process or just ground it period? If that really works then it has been overlooked by alot of ppl.Questions/Comments:Ernie@Jonspd.com

A customer of ours purchased a "bypass diagram" on Ebay today and is sending it to us via E-Mail. I havn't seen it just yet but the diagram suggests that disconecting the antenna and vss wire (via switch or relay) will inhibit the Z2's gps capabilities and override the internal gyro - allowing video to be viewed while mobile. It sounds a little extreme, but I'll post as soon as I check it out and verify. Also, I have found through research here at the shop that putting a switch on the P. Brake and Dimmer wires - and switching in a sequence will work, but only for a day or so. Not sure why yet, but we're still working on it.

That would be great info man. As far as the sequence you were referring to, is it kinda like the Alpine bypass?Questions/Comments:Ernie@Jonspd.com

I did the first one and it works the key is not to damage the middle of the antenna wireAVIC-Z2 BypassTry which ever one you feel is best for you. These are the two that Ihavefound so far. I am still trying to find more if there are any. I wouldsuggest using the second one as it seems to me to be a better bypass.This is the first bypass that we found. We will keep trying to find abetterone, but this does work if you follow these instructions correctly.I am not offering this as a perfect solution for the bypass problem, just as a temporary fix for watching video without an image reversed message until a real bypass is figured out. So, please don't stop working on one guys!I recommend that only installers with some experience perform this work since some of it might be confusing to some. Once this work is performed, you will be able to watch video and use all of the nav control functions while moving when the switch is activated but, you will have to turn the switch back off to use the Nav because it will not be able to keep up with your location while bypassed. Once the switch is turned back off it should only take a moment for the Nav to figure out where you are.First, the parking brake wire should be grounded. You will also need the Speed Sense(VSS) to be hooked up. This wire should be connected because when turning the bypass back off it will cut the time it takes to find your location in half. You also need this wire because the gyro will still block the video if you hit a strong bump at high speeds(this only happened once and I was trying to make it happen) and that wire will be needed to reset the bypass without stopping. You will need two relays and a toggle switch. The relays can be taped together and wired to work the same way using the toggle switch to provide a ground to activate both of them. The power to activate them should be from a key power wire. The first relay will be used to separate the VSS wire. The second relay will be used to separated the ground shielding (the outer layer) inside of the cable for the nav antenna. When this is done properly, the nav will no longer know the vehicle is moving once the switch is flipped. The gyro can shut down the video if the vehicle hits a severe pothole but, this happens very rarely and all you have to do to correct this is flip the switch off and then back on. This shows the nav a speed signal for a second to fool it into thinking you have stopped again.These mods should be easy for most installers. It is very important that the center of the antenna wire not be cut or damaged! I will include some picture links to show how I did this stuff. If the end user uses video more than Nav (like me), I recommend the relays be wired as normally open. For those who use the Nav more, they should be wired as normally closed. This will prevent the relays from being constantly active. Don't forget to use key power to power the relays so that they will only work when the car is running to avoid battery problems.Again, this is only a temporary fix and not a real bypass. I hope that all of you will keep working on a true bypass. Going from my Z1 that had a real bypass to this is a real disappointment.http://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t299/desoinc/DSC00025-1.jpghttp://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t299/desoinc/DSC00028.jpghttp://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t299/desoinc/DSC00029.jpghttp://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t299/desoinc/DSC00031.jpghttp://i163.photobucket.com/albums/t299/desoinc/DSC00032.jpgHere is the second bypass.The only mod I have is a toggle switch on the e-brake.1) Power the vehicle and unit with e-brake on and the vehicle in park.2) hit the reset button on the lower left screen panel with a pen.3) Let the unit reboot.4) I have my unit to output to a rear monitor - I turn on the monitorandsee the front screen.5) Start a DVD and let it play for a few minutes while still in parkande-brake on.6) Power o

cplkittle on 12/25/2006 11:41:56I can't remember exactly how to do it, but it is a little more than just the parking brake wire. The N3 is navigation and it knows (sat tracking, and if it was installed properly, the speed pulse wire) when the vehicle is moving. Even if you sucessfully bypass the parking brake or what not, the video will still cut off once you reach 15 mph.
Ash on 12/25/2006 12:06:03That is not designed to work like that as a safety net. Plus in certain areas if not all, it is illegal for that reason. The only people that are really allowed to view the tv/monitor while the vehicle is in motion are the passengers, not the driver.
UKinstaller on 12/25/2006 13:51:10you have to ground the brake wire, and solder the jumpers together on the bottom of the head unit under the silver sticker. be careful, if you mess up the solder job, your unit will be ruined. take it to a shop if you're not comfortable soldering circuit boards.-UK
cplkittle on 12/27/2006 02:44:46That's on the N2, I thought the N3 was different.
kenny414 on 02/17/2007 22:03:32i actually got it. there is a switch on the bottom of the unit where the silver sticker is. just got to switch that and ground the park brake wire to the body and whala... you got your self a unit that lets you use all the funtions while the vihecle is moving.
