Angel, Bought mine to off ebay...but had it installed...I hope you have better luck as I paid 265.00 for double din and its junk...some things you need to see and touch and have an English manual that makes since.

i sure hope it works, everything else works fine, radio, ipod hookup etc, i can hear the movie playing but not on the screen.. im gonna go to my audio guy and see what he says... just wanted to ask here first...

TexasAngel, if you go on ebay and search the model# of your radio, it should also show any relays and/or wiring needed to make it play dvd's while driving. Some radios you can just groud a certain wire, some need a little more "convincing".

 

[TexasAngel34]

ok thank you so much, i will go check that out....

I just installed my pioneer avh-3100dvd and all i had to do is use a simple toggle switch. one side of the switch is grounded and the other side is connected to the parking brake wire on the back of the unit. post what unit you have and i'll try and help you out the best i can. i've done dozen or so of these.

i wonder if this will work on my pioneer avic-d3...i switched a pin and it worked...but i dont have "every" option...cant sync address book and little things like that...so i have no caller ID...i might try this one day....ground the parking brake...

Ive seen around the net that alot of the avic units don't work by simply grounding out the parking brake. on my AVH-P4300 I had to buy a relay cause if it sensed that it was grounded out when you turned it on it wouldn't let you watch dvd's it needed to have a second between the unit turning on and the parking brake grounding

My Kenwood unit just needed the parking brake wire grounded too. Glad you figured it out for an easy fix.

Freeway, if you search YouTube for "Avic D3 bypass", you'll find several videos. I installed the 3200BT in my '01 last spring and used a YouTube video for the bypass using a relay. Took less than 5 minutes to do and it works great.

The Pioneer units need that split second delay to be sure that the "brake" is applied and the relay covers that with no problem at all. I still can acess everything on my on my BT...sync contacts, caller ID, etc.

i saw on youtube dude grounded the parking wire and everything worked with no relay

When I bought the D3 from you freeway I completely forgot to ask you if it had been bypassed already. The D3 I have in my expedition is bypassed already and I can play whatever when I am driving. I did the bypass on the one I bought from you when I put it in my wifes car and it works great also. You have to switch a pin in the harness and then ground it. I just cant remember which pin.

 

[GAINMOB]

i think 14 to 7...or 7 to 14...thats what i forgot to do...i never ground it...thx for the reminder so i'll be on youtube tomorrow looking for the wire to ground...unless you know which it is....crack it open and hmu with the wire to ground

same H/U,same problem, and same solution except I had to drink beer to figure out I neded a relay instead of just a ground

 

[tsingson]

freeway i believe its the wire that you have to move pins with. i just grounded it with the other ground.

 

[GAINMOB]

i got it fixed...@ tsingson...do you know how to get back to initial setup without disconnecting battery?
