How to do th brake bypass on your AVH 4200NEX with the MicroBypass

[@bryguy7337]

Literally the perfect video, everyone else shows half to no wiring which is the most difficult part for someone who has never installed their own radio before, thank you!

[@ganeese]

My adapter harness had a blue/white wire that I connected the B/W wire from the stereo to, but I noticed when I plugged the adapter harness into the truck harness there was no wire at all on the truck side of the harness. That pin slot was empty. I didn't think this MicroBipass was going to work because the B/W wire was not connected to anything in my truck. It worked though! I'm so happy!

[@2nsane2005]

I find the simplest best way to bypass the brake is to just ground the light green park brake wire to one of the small screws on the deck itself! Crimp on a small fork connector to make it look neat and tidy. You don't need these bypass units. Love the channel btw! Great info.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

2nsane2005 I like to just solder the green into the black and put some heat shrink on it. It gets it out of the way and I don't have to think about it anymore.

[@2nsane2005]

Five Star Car Stereo fair enough that's easy too!

[@TDF0907]

I just installed a 4200NEX in my 2012 Impala with the Idatalink, and I've googled several questions. I always seem to end up on your KZbin channel, and you guys are so helpful. Thank you!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Thank you, glad we could help, enjoy

[@robkonz]

So I tried this but it didn't seem to work. The video kind of lost me with the blue and black hook ups because it didn't show them in detail. I have 3 pieces. Bypass, stereo harness, and adapter harness. I hooked black from all 3 together. Green from bypass and stereo harness together. Blue from stereo harness and bypass together. Is that correct? There is also a blue from the adapter harness on the wire it says power antenna. Do I need to hook that into blue also? Thanks for your videos and help.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Robert Konzelman sound about right. If your car has a factory amp or is of the Dodge/Chrysler family the yes connect the car side blue white in. Make sure the greens only so to each other.

[@robkonz]

I did get it to work by turning off the unit then turn it back on which mimics the parking brake. THen I can hit okay.

[@jaredmayer8837]

Your basically silent hype man is hilarious. I love that you always give him like half of a sentence to say somewhere in your how to's

[@stevenaughton9372]

Most unenthusiastic sidekick ever.

[@jms7585]

Do you recommend using the factory and aftermarket harness (plugged in) for your only ground? I noticed you spliced in extra blue wire to attach to amp turn on. Could not tell if you spliced in extra black wire to ground to vehicle chassis. I will be installing a Pioneer AVH X4800bs and the black wires on both harnesses have pins so I assume that will suffice as a ground. Please let me know/recommendations. Vehicle is an '08 Corolla S (non-JBL).

[@jamesws3]

Great video. The only thing I would add is a description of what the "extra" 6" blue wire you added is for and a suggestion to tape or heat shrink the end if it will remain used to prevent possible shorting. I was thinking myself of adding a length of wire as you did just to preserve/keep the remote turn on wire for other uses. What is the expression? "Great minds think alike"?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

jamesws3 yeah good call, we add a bullet connector to the end so it is covered. We will add that into next years videos for sure. Thanks enjoy

[@jamesws3]

Glad to help as I find your videos quite helpful. Been a long time since I installed a car stereo, so I'm coming up to speed. I asked Microbypass directly if having a "spare" remote turn on wire could cause an issue should. His response was as fast as it is good: "Sometimes amplifiers can back-feed current causing the bypass to malfunction. What model is the amplifier, and what is the year/make/model of the vehicle? Usually you should not run into an issue like this, and the remote wire can be shared. However, sometimes a factory/aftermarket amplifiers or an amplified FM antenna can back-feed current causing the MicroBypass to malfunction. In the case of something causing an issue, you can isolate the MicroBypass one of two ways: #1 Connect the blue/white wire on the Pioneer radio to the blue wire on the microbypass. Then connect the blue and/or blue/white wire on the vehicle side harness for your FM antenna/factory amplifier along with the red wires. This way the FM antenna/factory amplifier will receive power when the vehicle is on, and off when the vehicle is off, and not have the issue of causing the bypass not to work. #2: To eliminate the something from back-feeding into a circuit you can install a diode. A diode is a device the allows power to travel one way and is labeled on one side with a band or stripe. You would connect the Pioneer radios blue/white to the MicroBypass blue and then connect these two wires to one side of the diode (the side without the stripe). You would then connect the other side of the diode (the one marked with the stripe) to the wire that runs to the amp. This will also solve the issue, but please remember that the remote wire has a max output of around 350mA. Here is a link to Radio Shack for a diode. You would want the 1N4001 Cat#276-1101 www.radioshack.com/products/1n4001-micro-1a-diodes?variant=5717577541 Please let me know if you need any further help. Thank you, -Matt"

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

jamesws3 yeah Matt is a talker, but a nice guy

[@kevinwarren3773]

Good video helps alot how/where do you put the ph mic so my daughter can be hands free plz help

[@kevinwarren3773]

On a Pioneer Avh-110bt

[@sethmeistergee]

Thanks for making this! It really helped me out. Wish you were local to Northern California so I could visit your shop!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Thank you, enjoy

[@dikov11]

Can you make a video on how to install two audio system in parallel? I have Honda Ody 06 Touring with RSE and want to keep its radio unit for its hardware buttons and controls over rear seat screen. In parallel I want to install 4200NEX as a top mounted head unit.

[@djasz1]

Great Video :-) The black wire (ground) connects to the bypass black wire, yes. How does the unit ground then? What should I do with existing black wire that was connected to my primal (stock) stereo?

[@mpcp27]

So with the exception of the green wire, the other connections have 3 wires..bypass, radio, and harness. The extra blue wire that you added, what was that used for?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Michael Chong we had that for future use. That way if the customer wants to add an amp we don't have to cut open the harness again.

[@fargosoccer]

I have my 4100NEX installed (been that way for a year) and am going to have BestBuy install a rear back-up camera and an HDMI cord to the back of the 4100. He will secure the 4100 in the dash but leave the dash plate off so I can then perform the installation of the microbypass. A couple of questions: (1) should I disconnect a battery lead while I do all of my connecting/soldering? (2) Will I be breaking some current connections so I can install the microbypass?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Matt Noah no you will be fine 2. The only wire you should have to cut is the lt. Green wire going to the break.

[@cbic9806]

Which is best, install a microbypass or just ground the green wire? Thanks

[@robrobledo559]

Hi I just bought this system. Was it wise to buy this awesome stereo. I have a basic 2006 Chevy Silverado. I still am not sure if I need this particular one. Do you have a recommendation.?

[@oscarramirez5347]

I have the Pioneer AVH 4200NEX, installed in my F150 2004, you are making the wiring look to easy thank you for all your videos., but for people less talented like myself is there a store that you can purchase the harness already wired for specific vehicles? with steering wheel control, micro bypass, and ready for rear view camera and make it really plug and play? I installed the sMetra Axxess ASWC-1 OEM Steering Wheel Control Universal Interface Module ASWC works like a champ thanks to your video. but the micro bypass didn't work, maybe it was a defective bypass (blk w blk, grn w grn, and blue with white and blue,) still didn't work. Again thank you for the informative videos

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Oscar Ramirez thank you. You may want to contact Matt at Microbypass. You can email him from their website. He can get you up and running or get you a new one.

[@LGHNurse0911]

I enjoy your videos, very informative. I am connecting a micro bypass to a Pioneer AVH 2500 and using an Axxess AX-toy28swc wiring. On this has a light green emergency brake and purple to connect to reverse. Does the bypass connect to this light green wire as well? Why does steering controls have an emergency brake wire? Thoughts on reverse hook up? Axxess rep couldn’t tell me. Thanks

[@Ctripp2448]

Hey guys. Love the vids. Did the bypass everything works great. When I play just a DVD it plays without any issue. If I have my phone connected while I'm playing a DVD the movie will just stop and go to my last source I was using after a couple of minutes. Is there a setting I can turn off automatic switching to sources or something. Also can u get updates while watching a DVD such as your Gps alerts or phone messages. Any help greatly appreciated.

[@d.psalms3973]

I have this Pioneer with the TR7. The only way I can get it to work is by, disconnecting the white female and to the black TR7 unit itself. Basically using it as a toggle switch. Which it's supposed to be in itself. This is also the case with the Potter & Brimfield. Any idea why? I stopped messing around with my truck for years and focused on my bikes and I still can't get this to work without flipping a switch...

[@nathanlivingston9429]

What kind of wire do i use for the ground wire? Would speaker wire work or cut some excess of the green brake wire?

[@MishAli10]

I'm wanting to install a parking brake bypass on a stock ford stereo. However, when I located the green, black and blue wires I found there was either conduction shield or what I think may be called bare wire running alongside these three wires. Question is.. how do I deal with the bare wite when installing the parking brake bypass? Please excuse my verbage and terminology - I'm new to this. Thanks for your time.

[@smirnoff1589]

I debated on calling your shop, but hopefully you'll see this comment. I'm over on the FL east coast, and I just wired in my 2550NEX using the Crux SWRTY-61C Harness. I've tried every which way (I think) of wiring in the bypass and it constantly throws the PARK light on the dash. Another interesting thing is that everything works on my 2550 without the blue REM wire on the radio harness hooked up. Any thoughts or insight would be helpful and appreciated. PS - Love the vids!

[@sidneymeyer9014]

Will this also work with the sony 5500 head unit? Thanks....

[@MrBroly10000]

Just noticed trying to figure out if I have the correct harness for the 4200NEX that you grabbed the LR+ instead of the Brake lead for this demonstration. Still, good video

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

MrBroly10000 wow good eye, totally missed that.

[@antonioqq]

Same here, I was following step by step and notice that you took the speaker green wire. Thanks for clarity the mistake.

[@r6genesis447]

In wiring the micro bypass. It says to not wire the blue/white wire into the power antenna and the micro bypass together. But how do you power the antenna?

[@deadmoney2093]

You can power the antenna with the red accessory wire together.

[@helmouna71]

Hello thanks for this video, you are the best. Question. Can i do the same wiring withe my pioneer avh 1300nax ? Thnaks

[@aaronschaitel6463]

Would having a stock sub woofer affect anything. I'm running a avh 1500 nex and have my by pass in but I cant get my dvd to work the blue tooth to ground and works but nothing else does.

[@specialformula14]

Is that a 2 wire switch or a 3 wire switch ?

[@ThatCleanMT]

Hey guys. Question for ya, I am installing a bypass on a 1330NEX. I was wondering why I have to splice in the Metra “power antenna” (blue color) cord into the Microbypass connection with the Pioneer blue/white cable. The instructions doesn’t seem to indicate that I need to do that however I see you have.

[@ya-man2916]

You guys are Great and very informative! I finally splurged and got the NEW Pioneer AVH-2330NEX. Would the micro bypass work on this as well? In the amazon description it says not to use with NEX models. Only $14. Might get one anyway to try it out! Thanks!

[@blasromero854]

Hello, I installed a parking break bypass video in motion interface for my Pioneer dvd/stereo. (2007 Honda Ridgeline). now the only problem is that their is a constant ding with brake light staying on telling you the break is on even though it is not? How do you stop the sound and remove the bright brake light? Appreciate any help.

[@youngsumma]

I installed the dmh1500nex and a micro bypass in my ‘10 accord coupe. I have a viper SmartStart also. I noticed that after I installed the radio and bypass, my remote starter is working. The remote starter is giving a error that’s indicating the brake is engaged. Is that the bypass doing it’s job?

[@joecerda630]

My harness has about 3 ft of the green parking brake cable...can I use a section of that instead of the blue future use for amp cable?

[@woodensailone]

I like your tutorials. Thanks.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Thank you for watching

[@wwillia99]

I had to install one of these to get apple car play to work on my 4200NEX radio. I did not bother connecting the brake wire when I first installed it a week ago and not only would it not play movies it would not open apple car play either.

[@miguelv_1055]

Do you need the micro bypass to use android auto for nav...on a pioneer avh-2400nex ?

[@sumitphansekar3896]

Thx. Nice video! is it possible to add NC push switch(non latch type) between ground and green wire ? And hown many times i hv to push 1 or 2 ?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Sumit Phansekar you need a latch type switch, off when you start car then on off on

[@sumitphansekar3896]

Five Star Car Stereo what i am talking about is , the switch which i wanted to use its original state is NC , when i push it become NO, and when i relese it become NC. Its spring return switch

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Sumit Phansekar ok sorry yes that will work too.

[@Pabula]

Thanks for the the great video, just wondering, im trying to use the AutoEQ, but its dark on my AVH4800BS, so i decided to get one of those break bypass, while it works for camera and other stuff, still not working on the AutoEQ (still not accesible), btw the pionner microphone is plugged on the AUX, but i still cant get the option to highlight, do you know if there a trick on the wires that i have to do extra to get this to work aside from the break bypass?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

The radio needs to be in standby off , then go to the audio settings. It will be the only audio control not grayed out.

[@eurisko3676]

Some of my options (like Firmware Upgrade) are still greyed out, even with the bypass in place. Any ideas?

[@citibori]

Hi Five Star Guys! I had best buy install my 4200 NEX in to my 2013 Toyota Corolla. Of course they wouldn't install the bypass for obvious reasons. Would it be ok to splice into the wires without taking the whole head unit out and do I need to disconnect the parking break green wire to do it? Cause I'm sure they've connected it.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Yes you need to disconnect it from the break. You can splice into the wires

[@ericmims6617]

I've been reading about connecting a diode since I have a amp hooked into the remote wire

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Eric Mims we have never needed one and we do hundreds of these.

[@sergiwu]

Is the installation for Pioneer AVH-4201NEX the same way? Thank you.

[@karthiksomaraju8343]

Is that extra spliced blue wire for Antenna blue wire connection? I have Metra 40-NI12 antenna adapter cable and was wondering where to hook up the blue wire. Thanks!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

+Karthik Somaraju it is for an amp turn on. Connect your blue antenna wire to the red Accessory power

[@TxDee34]

have the AVH-4200NEX, installed it with the micro bypass. Dvd works while driving, but the other menues are still greyed out. Usb1, usb2, and hdmi are also greyed out, will not work with my android phone. android auto also does not work. I'm pretty sure i hooked the microbypass up the correct way since the dvd plays while driving. So any clues on what might be the problem?

[@ZBestHardwood]

Hello, thank you so much for this video, i bought a motorhome with AVIC-N3 when i removed it and try to connect a xm tuner , the bugger stopped working i am getting 12 v both on the constant yellow and red have ground and all fuses are good in addition power comes and go from the hide away unit and from the nex 90 i removed the harness and checked the pins ,they to get power Alas NADA the unit will not turn on what am i missing? thank you much davis

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Z Best Hardwood it sounds like you did not mis anything, it might just be dead.

[@ZBestHardwood]

thank you so much, i just got the NEX4200 hope it works

[@ricardosilva8106]

Why do you ad a wire on remote wire? Do you ground black after connecting the bypass?

[@chazbryner]

If the green wire is already wired to the parking brake should I leave it connected and just attach the bypass, or remove it and wire the bypass by itself?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Remove it

[@olympusneo]

Do i need to do this if I want the video to play for secondary video output for rear seat as well on 4200?

[@michaelsuchan8934]

No

[@southernfriedcircuits]

Does the parking brake have to be hooked up or bypassed in order to make a camera work? The rest of my unit functions fine without the parking break hooked up, but I cant get the camera to show up.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Melissa Grimes you just have to connect the purple white wire to reverse trigger and turn it on in the camera menu settings

[@alexanderflores9740]

Ok I know your probably super tired of answering questions but if you can help me out, the radio harness has a blue white wire but the other adapter harness doesn’t, do I just connect the bypass the the blue wire on the radio harness, so then the green, the blue, and the black are connected from the radio harness to the bypass but the black wire is the only one that continues from the bypass to the other harness adapter that connect to the car, does that sound right?

[@michaelsuchan8934]

The only one that doesn’t get put into the car side of the harness is the green,

[@pattersonbrl]

Hey Dean, thanks for posting all of these great videos. I've been watching a ton of them leading up to installing a new setup in my car. I have a question. I have a 2010 Mazda 3 with bose. I have bought new polk audio speakers for the doors as well as a 4 channel amp and a subwoofer amp for a 10" subwoofer. My question is if I want to bypass the bose amp, would I be able to just not connect the blue remote turn on wire from my factory harness and just run the remote turn on wire from the pioneer harness to my amps. Essentially bypassing the connection from the factory harness? Thank you for your time in advance.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

+pattersonbrl we always connect the factory blue wires even if we bypass the amp. There may be a antenna amp turn on running off the same output. You can connect the plugs blue wire to the red wire when doing this. You just want it active when the key is on.

[@pattersonbrl]

thanks for the quick response. Greatly appreciated. So one other question then. Would it be okay to then just disconnect the two harnesses under my passenger seat that go into the amplifier to disable it from turning on?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

pattersonbrl I would leave it plugged in. The car may need to see it for proper functionality

[@mleukus]

hello - i installed this and it worked great, now i added a backup camera and all i get is sound and the viewing in front seat is strictly prohibited. doesn't matter where my ebrake is? any suggestions?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Are you sure the lt green wire is connected to the Ebreak?

[@michaelpaige4652]

I desperately need your help I am trying to install this radio into a 2017 Nissan Sentra without a wiring harness when I test all of the wires from the car I get two lights that come on only with the lights on and can’t identify which is illumination and which is remote start. I’m at my wits end but don’t want to give up I can’t find a diagram online of the wiring, I messaged Nissan but haven’t gotten anywhere yet. What can I do to identify which is illumination and which is remote start

[@davidwrightme]

Five Star Car Stereo - Thank you for the video! Have you had any reports of the bypass not working for Android Auto? I have a problem when trying to browse Amazon Music (and probably other services). I get the Parking Brake error notice on my 4200nex when I try to scroll down the list of stations. I'm able to play video via a Chromecast installed on the HDMI port, so I'm pretty sure the bypass is working. Perhaps it's an Android Auto issue. I have a Galaxy S6 Android ver 6.0.1, radio has latest firmware 1.03

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

ScutFarcus yes there was an issue with older bypasses. Contact Matt at Microbypass and he will get you the updated version.

[@flipoutsk8erguy]

love your videos! quick question how do I hook this up when I have the remote wire going to my amp? I'm very confused on that

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

alex kleiner you just have to tap into the blue/ white wire to trigger the bypass. So basically all of the blue wire radio-amp- bypass all connect together. The is true for the black ground.

[@flipoutsk8erguy]

thanks, worked like a charm

[@Luscombe1940]

Thank you for these videos on the 4200. They are priceless and I have subscribed. I purchased a AVH 4200nex for my 2008 Ford Taurus SEL and am in the process of installing it. I know this video does not address the SWC but I hope you can answer my quesiton about that. I purchased the Metra Axxess ASWC-1 SWC. Where does the 3.5mm pin for the SWC plug into the back of the avn 4200? None of the illustrations in the manual show this acc. Does it plug into the Aux port? Will this SWC even work with the 4200? This is an awesome unit, I bought it because they are discontinuing it and because it has such great reviews. Thanks for all you are doing. Gary

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

+Gary Tree it is the 3.5mm jack next to the power plug on the right. There are 2, it is the one closest to the power plug.

[@Luscombe1940]

Thank you! I hope to get this up and operating today.

[@Jamminn555]

Awesome video! I don't have all those wonderful tools either. Speaking of those, what is that cool blue wire stripper tool? Wow!! Anyway, thanks for the great videos. They're fantastic.

[@Jamminn555]

Thank you so much for that! Really appreciate it.

[@marcantoinekassis6713]

In the harness, is the blue the power antenna? In my harness I have only one blue which is the power antenna (no white blue in my harness). Thanks

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Marc Antoine Kassis pioneer only uses 1 Blue/white wire in their harness, no just blue wire. We usually connect the cars power antenna wire up to the Red accessory wire. Then connect the Microbypass and amps up to the blue/white

[@PizzaStew]

Hi Dean, why did you have to add the extra remote (blue) wire? Thanks!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

We add it so we do not have to cut back into the harness if they add an amp at a later time.

[@chriskasper7529]

can you fry the bypass if you accidentally hooked the green wires to the remote turn on?

[@albertuu]

for AVIC 8200NEX is the same procedure? where can I buy the microbypass?

[@Koda544]

What if my red/white wire is already hooked up to my green brake wire, do I take shrink wrap off and just twist them all together? Sorry I'm a tech but never installed my own stereo. Trying to just switch out my same radio that was in my truck I just bought, wires are already hooked. I'm sure it has to do with a back up camera that is installed on the truck 2009 Chevy Traverse, radio is AVH-X3700BHS

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

You are going to want to disconnect the red/ white wire. It is not needed anymore once you do the bypass. It should have nothing to do with the reverse camera that is installed.

[@Koda544]

So do I need to just heat shrink the end of the red/ white wire and it will be ok

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

+Darla Thompson yes that would work just fine.

[@Koda544]

Thank you so much!!

[@Koda544]

It works!!!! thanks so much for your help

[@Lawdadel]

this is a dumb question I believe but where do you ground the harness for your car if the bypass is grounded to the radio?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

+Lawdadel the ground for the radio and the bypass should all go to the factory ground. Hopefully the harness you are using has one

[@JayHarvey_]

great video. I just a quick question though. I installed the bypass now when I head to the source and hit hdmi it won't let me get pass the warning screen. it won't allow me to hit ok for some reason. any ideas why

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Jay Harvey does the DVD play?

Remember not to connect the parking brake wire on the car side of the harness. You only hook it up on the head units harness

[@robertdevino4109]

Hope you guys actually get this. Is it even possible to hook up an external CD player to the AVH 4100NEx

[@senkobassin5046]

I have a Jensen VX4022, is the process the same? My aftermarket harness did not come with a long green wire.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Senko Bassin' you just ground the green wire, nothing special needed.

[@unstungbee]

Hey guys I'm using a 4200 NEX and I'm have the black on the bypass going to the black ground on the aftermarket harness and then the blue on the harness going to the blue/white on the aftermarket harness. Lastly I have the green to the light green on the aftermarket harness. I only get the "Attention" screen and don't even get the caution one. How can I view the DVD if the caution won't come up only the attention it's illegal to view in the front seat while driving. Thanks

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Patrick Armstrong you have them connected to the Pioneer harness right. If so the cars, Pioneers, and the bypass black wire should all be together. The blue white should be the same. Also if yo have a volt meter make sure the blue white wire has 12 volts.

[@fyn3zt]

Will this work on the 2300NEX? Tried it but radio won't turn off

[@818mega]

Does the green on the micobypass go to the very long green wire on the radio harness??

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Ramon Quintanilla yes it does

[@egarcia11]

Hey im looking for a backup camera for my Pioneer 5700 which do u recommend?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

We use the Pac-audio cameras and pioneer

[@11markrodgers11]

so for the ground wire I solder together 3 wires? stereo harness black + factory harness black + micro bypass black?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Yes that is correct. You may need to do the same thing for the remote wire.

[@03Misael21]

you said the TR7 will also do the bypass. How so? I heard the TR7 won't work for the later model AVH/AVICs

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Misael Cartagena the Avic's don't need a bypass. I thought they did an update to adjust the timing on the tr7, I could be wrong. They did come out with the TR1 though

[@joscastro1984]

What kind of solder would you recommend for the wiring ?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

[@johnsonleraux8874]

Is it the same with AVH 280 OBT?

[@paulvan3359]

the microbypass Instructions say not to hook up to solid blue on radio harness, do I just leave it and only hook up blue/white on radio harness to microbypass blue

+Paul Van Tine yes microbypass Blue to radio Blue/white

[@stevensotherden4003]

Where do you hook up the yellow and red wires

[@supersaiyenunlimit2]

I've got one question that I'm trying to find an answer to, my AVH-4100NEX was installed by a local audio shop, however, Android Auto refuses to function. Basically, when you connect the phone to the radio, Android Auto will pop up on the phone itself and display an error saying "Android Auto setup will resume when the car is parked". During the duration of the message the car is already in park and not moving. I've done searches and the information seems conflicting, some say its because it doesn't work when the Radio is grounded, while others say the Radio needs to be connected with a bypass. Have you guys ever run into a problem with getting Android Auto/Car Play to work?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

supersaiyenunlimit2 CarPlay always works for us Android Auto however can be a pain. What phone do you have? Is the radio firmware up to date? Are you using USB 2 and have the radio set to other in the smartphone settings?

[@robertglasby8108]

so even tho I have the idatalink maestro rr, do i still need the micro bypass installed? what do i do with the pink wire, as i do not have one on my pioneer harness

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

robert Glasby you only need the microbypass if you want to access the locked screen features while driving. If not you can use the break wire and pull the break when you need access. The pink is VSS, just cap it off

[@robertglasby8108]

Thanks

[@veritasverdad2846]

my green wire and black are connected to ebrake. i don't see a blue wire Can I connect the green the black together with a switch and just work it that way on my 4100 model

[@sberrios77]

The harness for the Odyssey doesn’t have a blue wire and it does have a liight green white one. How do I do the connections?

[@ganeese]

Apparently it doesn't matter. My trucks harness didn't have these wires either and this bypass still worked.

[@joshuas10]

What kind of wire strippers are those blue ones?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

They are Klein

[@matthewc8742]

Something that I heard thats bothering me.. You said Black is ground, yellow is constant 12v and red is memory.. Yellow would be constant 12v aka memory.. red is switched power not memory.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Matthew Connelly yup good catch, totally got that one wrong. Thank you for pointing that out.

[@dikov11]

With me bypass does not work (4200NEX installed in Ody '06). Even more I do not get video on screen (only audio) even when the shifter is on Parking, regardless whether parking brake is pushed or not. The warning screen upon video launch does not activate "OK" button either. Any ideas? P.S. I also can not get software bypass activated. Whatever place in the left lower corner of the NEX unit I pushed no beeps, or pop up notifications appeared.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

+Dmytro Kovalskyy if you have a Microbypass you can email them for tech support, they are pretty helpful. The pushing in the bottom corner only works on AVIC units. You have to have the radio in bypass mode for an update.

[@dikov11]

Thank you for clarification with AVIC vs AHV units! You have to have the radio in bypass mode for an update. ^^^^^^ Did not catch what you mean here. Can you be more detailed, please? How to set up dario for bypass mode and what update you are talking about?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

+Dmytro Kovalskyy Pioneer puts out software updates to fix issues with their radios. You can find them on their web page and do a search for your radio. In the menu of the radio it will tell you its current software version. To do the update they want to make sure you are not moving. So the lt. Green break wire has to be in bypass mode. There are 3 ways to hook up the lt. green wire 1 contect to the parking break and press when you needed. 2 hook the lt. green wire up to switch( ground 1 side and connect the other end to lt. green) 3. get the bypass from Amazon search microbypass.

[@dikov11]

Contacted microbypass support and I was assured that 4100NEX and 4200NEX have a specific model of microbypass. The Owner is extremely generous guys -- agreed to exchange bypass I have to that which fits my 4200NEX. Highly professional support and I greatly recommend this product.

[@meltdownproductions5148]

is this kind of bypass used for a 7700bt?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Yes

[@meltdownproductions5148]

Awesome! thanks for your support! I'm going to order the stereo for my jeep! 2004 grand cherokee limited. I hope I can keep my steering controls as well with this system.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

meltdown productions check out this video for your steering wheel controls kzbin.info/www/bejne/fKm2q5SblNBnoqc

[@lalulloff]

Where does the purple reverse/shift wire get hooked to ?

[@chuckmiller5763]

Reverse light.

[@LGSMicroscopes]

Worked just as described.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Pat Luna sweet

[@ScottDLR]

Is this what I need for my new 8200 NEX?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

ScottDLR nope, nothing needed for that. Check this out kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWelq6GgYregpbs

[@ScottDLR]

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

[@stevensundstrom4717]

So for something like the amp turn on(since three wires will need to be put together) can you just get some crimp caps and twist all 3 wires together(to radio,bypass,and amp) Thanks! (the caps www.crutchfield.com/p_120CCL1614/Metra-Crimp-Caps.html )

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Steven Sundstrom yes that would work just fine.

[@stevensundstrom4717]

Five Star Car Stereo Thanks :) Your channel has been of tremendous help.

[@dioncampbell3384]

hello guys, i want to install the avh4200 in my 2013 hyundai starex any help on the hock up?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Are you looking for parts or General knowledge

[@dioncampbell3384]

general knowledge because i presently have an android head unit but i'm thinking about making the switch to pioneer preferably the avh 4200, my vehicle has steering wheel controls, would i have to cut my harness to make the hook up?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

+Dion Campbell tap into it on that car. We also remove the factory USB and Aux and in the pioneer.

[@Rosas18745]

I did this to my 4200nex on my 2001 Audi A4 and when adding a custom back ground or trying to play DVD, I get the CAUTION screen and does not let me view anything. Any ideas please??,

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

El_Skippy check the voltage on the blue white wire. Make sure you have 12 volts.

[@MORDEHAI89]

?Where to buy the basic button displayed at the end of the video

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

That switch comes in one of our iSimple kits you can get them on Amazon search 12 volt round switch

[@jman4573]

You can also use a 12v relay

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Not on these they have a delay that a relay will not do. The older radios you could, not anymore.

[@jman4573]

+Five Star Car Stereo really wow I got the 2015 avh 5700 u guys did a review and I used a relay worked fine I guess they switched it up for 2016

[@Netachi]

Nice guys, keep up these great videos!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Thanks, we are trying!

[@Netachi]
