How to do the brake bypass on your Pioneer AVH Radio using a MicroBypass

[@RonnieSandifer]

Love that yall dont give a whole history of radios b4 starting to give the info people are actually looking for. You get to the point and I love it!

[@clevelandbarnett3975]

Appreciate the toggle switch reference brought a project car with the Bluetooth issue and didn't know why the toggle switch was wired to the radio 📻

[@atomicorang]

I smashed the like button for Fernando... He is a definite asset to your organization.

[@brod5352]

I have a Pioneer AVH 2330 NEX and the micro bypass worked like a champ. Grounding by itself was ineffective. Easy to install. Ordered from Amazon on Monday and had it by Thursday. Can't complain. It works!

[@silverdropstang]

$3 toggle switch from Walmart battery section. Green wire from radio (parking brake wire) to one side, ran another wire from other side to a switched fuse under steering wheel. That easy. Turn the switch on and off when wanting to watch a dvd while driving. Takes about 1.2 seconds to complete the sequence of on-off-on. Mounted the switch directly in between my front a/c vents so its super accessible.

[@tkdboppa7177]

It’s kind of funny .... five star audio uTube videos are normally first rate. However, this one actually doesn’t show a good close up of the Pioneer harness wiring connections to the bypass. The installer, is way zoomed out when he is doing the actual connections stating “you just connect this wire to this one etc.”. You can’t actually see how it is hooked up. Just some constructive feedback....

[@Straight0uttaCrofton]

how cheap do you have to be that you would rather sit there and diddle with a toggle switch each time in lieu of paying $10-$15

[@Straight0uttaCrofton]

unbelievable lack of comprehension

[@mg90q61]

@News Now Baytown its not being lazy. Its being smart

[@neldacardenas8136]

You can also use a 3 dollar 5 pin relay for the bypass.

[@osielpaddmcklenen2955]

That works on any radio iv done so many fk why none else has figured it out

[@ThisisMindoMint]

your going to do this and then your going to do this. Would have been nice to say your going to take green and connect to light green and so on. this video is just do this and do then and then we will do this. Well after watching over and over again I got it. Still giving thumbs up. Thanks.

[@brandonolson1366]

I bought a pioneer AVH-5800BHS. I simply grounded the long green wire to a bolt and am able to access everything.

[@doobedi]

That bright green wire?

[@doobedi]

What did you do to the yellow/black MUTR wire??

[@_DST0NE_]

hmm thought a penny was involved in this process

[@hipcheck9186]

lol

[@qpwodkgh2010]

It is. It's in the form of actual labor you will use up installing this little gem.

[@keylomoon]

2:19 that delay nope thank you.

[@chicago1680]

Thank you for this vid. I was like there is no freaking blue wire coming out my harness. Then you said blue/white remote..Now I'm gtg!! Works perfect. Now to hook up the camera gonna search for a video on that

[@danmeyer7174]

Hey man, very cool simple instructional video. No if, ands,or butts. You told me what I needed, no more no less.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

daniel meyer glad we could help

[@sibhagourd4313]

I don’t see how, all I got was “hook these two, and hook these two” and then a microsecond of a visual of a bunch of wires narrated by “you’ll wanna strip em first, this is just to show you...” constructive criticism, if you’re making a tutorial it’s most effective to verbally as well as visually describe what you’re doing. “I connect the xxx wire to the yyy wire, then connect the aaa wire to the bbb wire, like this and then pause long enough for a person to see what you did. I just ended up being frustrated and ended the video right there.

[@matthewsettle5153]

@@sibhagourd4313 let it all out😌😌

[@samhazamy3798]

I was having a problem with a bypass module from Amazon. I ended up just hooking it up with the reverse positive that came up to the front of the truck with the backup camera AV input. Solved the problem and was able to access all settings on a Pioneer MVH-1400NEX.

[@leonardomagnifico9498]

Thank you guys, i ordered the component from Amazon and i’m waiting for it. i will let you know my feedback after installation. Very good job, congratulations.

[@DarazsProductions]

So when you do the Method Turn On and Off are you turning the Engine on or just going to ACC and turning on and off like when programming a New Remote Key for your car ?

[@Leedes58]

Same question...

[@CvProdigy]

Did you find an answer? I have the bluetooth settings working but not able to do video.

[@Ricksvids]

Will this Bypass eliminate the issue where I have to park and put on the break in order to watch a DVD?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Yes it will.

[@paulweston8184]

@notchjohnson1Yes, he did and that was not the purpose that they were describing it's use for in the video. They were showing it's purpose as to unlock screen features that you can not use while driving. They didn't mention anything about eliminating the need to park and apply the ebrake in order to use the DVD player. So if you are saying that he is spot on at his assumption, you have a correct statement.

[@rhysb213]

I just got a pioneer avh-z5250bt and grounded the handbrake cable and it works fine WITHOUT BYPASS

[@Cdogg2233]

Just got an AVH 2300NEX. Grounding works fine

[@darylyoung7675]

Cdogg2233 did you use the instructions in the video or did you take a diff approach?

[@blackhawkdown2666]

Ok guys question installed pioneer AVH-7800 and all new door speakers front and rear. Just noticed tonight the rear door speakers and factory subwoofer which I installed new subwoofer as well r working but not the front door speakers. I used the easy factory wire harness setup plugged all wires right and made sure I connected speaker wires + & - so should be no issues on anything being crossed. So I seen something on a page about unplugging back speakers and it all works and others things I seen but not sure where to turn from this point I didn't know this was going on til someone pointed it out to me cause truthful rear speakers r loud but I want all speakers to work right.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Do you know if it is standard mode or network mode? You can check by going to see if you have balance and fader or just balance. What type of car is it in.

[@blackhawkdown2666]

+Five Star Car Stereo not sure which I think I figured it out the store didn't have the correct harness and gave me another one to try and so now I have the one they said was for mine the first time but was out of stock. Mine has factory amp and now I have the amp bypass harness which is 2 harnesses. Does this sound right to you guys

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

+Brian Murphy what type of car is it?

[@blackhawkdown2666]

+Five Star Car Stereo 2002 Chevy Tahoe 2wd 5.3

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

+Brian Murphy it should have worked with out bypassing the amp. If you bypass it you will have to get an amp for your sub. Check the balance and fader

[@fargosoccer]

Will the micro-bypass work for my Pioneer 4100-NEX?

[@eddye9517]

dumb question, but do I connect the bypass to the Toyota wire harness and the alpine black cable? As three all together??

[@popslops2188]

Added one to my Pioneer AVH-P1400DVD and yes,it does work but I have a ton of noise now I didnt notice before

[@kittbluevenom2384]

The System Remote Control wire and the Ground wires, do they also need to be connected with the ground and rc wires from the harness for the car? My Metra Toyota harness also has a ground wire and a rc wire, do I connect them too? Or tape those off..?

[@yigtikarakilic]

I have following wire colors, which one I need to connect the light green wire you have mentioned in your video? Yellow - 12V Constant Red - 12V Accessory Black - Ground Orange - Dash Light Dimmer/Illumination Green - Left Rear Speaker (+) Green with Black Stripe Left Rear Speaker (-) White - Left Front Speaker (+) White with Black Stripe - Left Front Speaker (-) Purple - Right Rear Speaker (+) Purple with Black Stripe - Right Rear Speaker (-) Gray - Right Front Speaker (+) Gray with Black Stripe - Right Front Speaker (-) Compatibility List: 2008 - 2012 SMART FOR 2

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

M. Yigit Karakilic the lt green wire for the bypass goes to the lt green in the Pioneer harness not the factory power plug adapter. The long lt. Green wire on the Pioneer plug, green to green.

[@yigtikarakilic]

Thank you for that clarification - because I didn't see any Light Green cable!

[@Crazygaucho62]

Easy way to test the micro bypass ! Thanks guys! I was having some issues, and wasn’t sure if it was working properly , you just saved me from pulling my stereo out

[@coreymiller6666]

For the toggle switch, do you hook up the light green wire that is on the wiring harness directly to the toggle switch?

[@deebomiller2u]

I just received my AVH-W4500NEX and watched your Vid. I am new to this so once I do the on screen touch of the lower left hand corner I DO NOT NEED the BYPASS to have full function. Thank you in advance

[@juanaviles1649]

Good afternoon gentlemen thank you for awesome demonstration I just bought a Ford F-150 and it has this radio the radio if I don't put my seatbelt on we'll go blank but now when I put my seatbelt on as I'm pulling out of the parking space the radio is not turning on but when I put it in reverse the radio turns on there's something blow inside is Radio I really could use your help this is Hell driving with no radio

[@michaelmarquez6133]

Omg man! Ok I don't think I'm gonna buy this 😂

[@cooptheihelper]

Never thought about hooking to reverse wire good idea

[@bartsteenbergen5131]

first check if you have a safe mode in the options somewhere in the radio. if so, put safe mode off, then you ony have to connect the green breakwire to the ground cable and you dont need the bypass.

[@somethingspecial3410]

Cool. I have a Jensen CAR8000 and a PAC ch4-11 harnes. I want to keep my rear cam and ceiling monitors (VES) What other harnes do I need?

[@vicksta209]

Great video guys. Just one quick question. After installing the bypass, how do I ground the wires in a nissan? Thankyou

[@entrenimientousaexclusivot7372]

I've been looking for a video like this the pass week and finally found one that explains all I need to install my pioneer ... thank you guys for a great video now if you can upload one where we can see all wiring process I will really appreciate it thank you again...

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

+Marcos Gomez do you mean wiring the Pioneer harness to an aftermarket harness?

[@entrenimientousaexclusivot7372]

yes sir... I'm trying to connect my pioneer in my 2006 ford expedition and i can't figure out how to wiring the steering wheel control kit .. or the bypass .. thank you for your response...

[@brandonblaylock9253]

Do I connect the bypass black wire to the factory wiring harness and the pioneer harness as in all three together? Or do I just connect the bypass black wire to the pioneer harness and leave the black wire on the factory harness blank?

[@aceofdrace]

I have the same question!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

+aceofdrace connect all the blacks together like a "T" and do the same with the blue wire if needed.

[@acypooder1]

1st thanks for trying to teach me I tried for weeks just couldn’t get it .. finally took my truck to a pro and it was fine for about 21/2 months My question is what could go wrong with the red wire plugged up to my cigarette outlet ? the one on the right that’s constantly on . I am just trouble shooting I figure while I am already in the radio (The light green wire) bypassing the reverse input I mine as well fix it if have to thanks again

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Did you test the output of the bypass with a meter

[@acypooder1]

I did today I was wrong the cig. Lighter is not constantly on , so when I put the multi meter on it, car off it reads 00 when I turn it on or asserory it’s 12.4 to 12.57 ? I did not wire this this was done by a pro. 2012 Ram 1500 installed a pioneer amp 5 channel two custom boxed 10” Rockford Fosgate punches under the rear seats and 61/2” kickers in the rear doors,and in the front doors Rockford Fosgate 63/4” Components T1675 (I think that’s what the number is ) it sounds good but what do I know ..

[@bazbakir2716]

Fernando is on another planet

[@marianonoriel3397]

This is my first time doing this…. The light green wire once they’re connected, do I connect it to a wire in the parking brake wire?

[@norbertomontesinos7373]

Will this work with pioneer AVH-2550NEX ?? Need to know before buy it.

[@berniemackattack86]

Notice this video is from 5 years ago. Would you recommend attempting this method for an AVH model that released in 2020.? The AVH 521..

[@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.

[@davidbovill2289]

Hooked up the way you explained the bypass micro bypass and now when I put in part seat belt is on doors closed I get continuous chime from vehicle 98 Mazda b3000

[@jonathantenorio8829]

Hi I really found your video helpful, although tomorrow I will connect that light green wire into my bypass and also ground it and connect to remote. The issue I encounter was my rear view cam. It will not work properly and I went to a audio shop. They could not figure out the issue. I hope this helps turn on my rear view cam as I already connected the purple and white wire to the rear back up power lights. And also grounded the black wire. Rca is connected also. I will see if this solves the issue thank you sir

[@rickhoupt6933]

Great video. I do have a Pioneer, I did buy the bypass, can I still tie the blue/wht to amp?

[@Zerbey]

Thanks for the easy explanation, any other car radios have this feature or just Pioneer?

[@76chrisfiorillo]

I just bought a Pioneer AVH-601EX and planning on using this bypass. Will this allow me to monitor my backup camera while driving also? (All aftermarket items)

[@MrJoshbaker14t]

Ever have one backfeed and keep radio from shutting off with ignition?? Worked fine before bypass install

[@miklosgorelov3606]

Simply add ground (-) to light green wire and it will be OK. (Connect car frame, bolt, etc.) Handbrake switch does the same.

[@1CFJ3]

Miklós Gorelov will not work. Has to be off and then on for a certain amount of time before it lets you. Can’t just hook it up to a ground.

[@viper7353]

would like to know do you guys install heads up displays in cars

[@robwenzel9200]

Many many thanks for the videos , they really help with the installation. I followed the instructions on the video for the bypass everything works except video playback and display maps. Please help!!!!

[@LMNOP618]

Does This Work For The Back-Up Camera or Just To Watch It While I Drive? I Have A Toggle Switch So I Was Wondered Did I Need This Also - Thanks In Advance

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

LMNOP SixOneEight it is just for the video and to unlock so of the menus. The switch is fine.

[@LMNOP618]

So Is There Any Way I Can Hook The Purple Camera Wire To A Bypass Or Does It Have To Be The Reverse Wire?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

LMNOP SixOneEight it needs to go to the lights if you want it to come on in reverse. If not you can just turn it on and off on the screen.

[@demillevantigo7432]

Instructions with my micro bypass say that I have to connect one of the wires to my BLUE/White amp turn-on wire on my pioneer radio. HOWEVER, my car also requires a 5V STEP DOWN which is also supposed to be attached to the BLUE/white wire. Will these 2 connections live in harmony? Or will they screw each other up?

[@shadoe1l0]

Hey it worked but the parking brake light is always on now,is it safe to drive and is there a work around?

[@oldiestoonies]

I installed the MicroBypass on my Pioneer head unit. However, there are still some system settings that I can't access like steering wheel control. I ended up disconnecting the bypass and using the parking brake wire temporarily just to be able to program the steering wheel buttons to my head unit. Otherwise, the bypass does it job.

[@BoyOfBass]

Hi guys really appreciate your videos! I have an issue my microbypass works but it won't seem to save my clock etc. and always asks be for language on startup. Any advice? kind regards Aaron

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Aaron Eccleston it is not the bypass. It sounds like the yellow and red wires are backwards. The radio is losing memory but is still working. It is still getting power on both so it will turn on.

[@vincentmagallon]

Take a test light and find your constant 12v and connect the radio's yellow wire to that..the red wire goes to your ignition wire, remember, always use a test light

[@Koua.L]

Another way is if your ignition switch wire is not protected with hard plastic loom like these TL's u can tap into your ignition1 wire, works wonders....

[@zpwslayer9719]

You still connect that black ground wire to the wire harness also right? Like when you are wiring your head units harness to the factory harness you simply add that by pass black to the headunit and factory harness correct?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

+Zpwslayer Yes you got it. The wires just tap into your harness

[@nickmccann8898]

I have an 08 trailblazer and am using the gmos-01 harness. Does the brake wire from the gmos harness get connected to the micro bypass as well or just the green one off of the pioneer harness?

[@christopherwingard7206]

I already have a remote wire ran to my amp from fuse block with factory radio. Do need to connect it to aftermarket radio for the radio to send power to sub output AVIC-8200NEX. Cause as of right now I am not getting sound from sub output.

[@josec.9480]

I just finished installing my AVH-X2700BS in a 2015 tahoe. was a pain in the butt, but got done. A few issues that I have is now the new unit don't tell me the outside temperature which is a bummer but can deal with it. I have a couple of questions. 1: how can I watch movies from a phone or thumb drive, and how can I add an image of my own as the background? Thanks. Big thumbs up on your videos.

[@projectocamero7502]

My pioneer 2400nex can be bypassed by simply connecting the green to a ground in the harness. No need for adapter.

[@Stonerolog1st]

Does the vehicle parking brake wire have to be sliced or does this bypass it completely?

[@DanielGarcia-wj4zw]

Do you need to do this for a stick shift vehicle

[@esylsten]

Hooked this up on my Winnebago RV with the AVH 3800 but now the parking brake alarm go's offon the RV, and I can't get it to shut off so had to disconnect the ground. Would it matter if I don't ground to the black wire and ground to radio frame or something?

[@stryker2764]

Hi Guys ..Thanks for doing this informative video on installing a bypass. My problem is that I'm installing the video player in an RV trailer so I don't have a blue wire coming from my vehicle harness as it's not a vehicle. I just have the red and black wires. So I splice in the black wire from bypass onto the black wire with a tap connector and put the green wire onto the light green wire on the deck harness and the blue onto the deck blue wire which only goes to the deck and nowhere else. The bypass is not working. I'm I doing something wrong?

[@rshipley21]

Stryker 2 The blue wire is just a remote turn on, you just need a switched ignition wire to remotely send the 12v through the circuit.

[@peachferrari]

Hmm, I'm about to do this on my car but the blue/white wire doesn't get connected on my car because it can cause problems with the speedometer signal. Is there somewhere else I can connect the blue one for it to work? 12v switched power maybe?

[@peachferrari]

Or maybe I can still connect it as is since this will still get a signal coming out of the radio on the blue/white wire even though it doesn't need to connect to my vehicle harness right?

[@juicehead777]

What if i have a factory amp powering my mids and highs and an aftermarket jl amp and sub for more bass. Would I tie the remote wire to both the factory amp, jl amp, and brake bypass?

[@stilldownimages]

Bought one hooked it up and works great, only issue im having is the parking brake light stays on on the dash. Should i disconnect the original ebrake wire that goes past the microbypass ? 13 silverado

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Yes yes yes you want to disconnect it now

[@stilldownimages]

+Five Star Car Stereo awesome will do - thanks for the reply

[@billhoffer320]

If you do not have an exterior amp do you connect the blue/white wire on both the car harness and stereo harness to the microbypass or just the blue/white wire from the stereo to the microbypass?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Bill Hoffer depends on the car, it may have a factory amp or an antenna that needs the blue/white also. To be safe I would connect both, car and bypass to radio.

[@mrstangblb]

Great info - but I'm curious. I have a Scosche SU03B harness that has an orange wire and an orange and white wire. The Pioneer AVH-200EX factory harness has ONLY an orange and white wire. I have the A-TRIG1 relay connected correctly, but do I need to connect the orange and white wire and leave the orange wire disconnected, or should I forget both of these wires? I know they are for illumination and have nothing to do with the bypass, but I'd like to know how to connect these orange and orange/white wires. Thanks for any help!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Just connect the orange/whites together and leave the orange capped off. You will not need it.

[@mrjason3171]

Thanks for this video. You guys have the best videos for stereo installation. Question I have is if the green parking brake wire is connected already. Do I disconnect the parking brake wire and tap the green bypass wire to it. Or keep the parking brake connected and tap the bypass wire to it?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Disconnect the wire going to the break, only connect to the bypass

[@gregr.5027]

I like your video's. One question...I have a Pioneer 4200nex. I put the microbypass in with a toggle switch at the end of the wire. Is this like a double negative? Should I not use a switch with the bypass?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Greg R. I would use one or the other, not both. The bypass is acting like a switch so you do not need the switch.

[@silvercvic]

I'm wiring my harness for a AVH-4200NEX, and about to add the micro bypass. Originally, I was going to wire the blue remote wire to my amp, but now that I have the bypass, where do I wire the amp to? Also this is going to my 2016 jeep and it required me to buy all the idatalink harness, do i wire [pioneer harness black/lt green/blue-white] to the idatalink ground? Thanks for the videos btw, both of you are funny and make these things entertaining to watch!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

ethan'stank thank you. You can connect the microbypass and the amp up to the radio. The blacks will all go together. The lt. Green will only connect to the microbypass. Check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6PXqYioZ79mnKc

Monday Omoregbee thank you. check out this video, it is a newer one answering your question kzbin.info/www/bejne/nJS1p4eDocmKZsk

[@RonnieSandifer]

thanks for this link. I was wondering how a good way to create a t was. This is great.

[@chrisbentley3468]

i already soldered my harness together.. can i connect the bipass wires to other sources to get it to function? like a fused source and body ground?

[@Maddevildog247]

whats up five star team, quick question about this video. I ordered and received this bypass from your link and i would like to confirm....... the blue wire from the bypass connects to the blue amp turn on wire from the radio. Here is my question.... i have an 02 4runner with a power ant., the instructions for the bypass says to connect the solid blue wire from the factory radio harness to the red power wire from the radio harness and factory harness. So the radio amp turn on blue wire and the blue wire from the bypass are the only two connected together, is this correct? if so, then the power ant will go up every time the radio is turned on right? Thanks in advance, hoping for a quick reply.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Paige's American Girl Doll Channel sounds right but here is what I would do. Get an on off switch, connect on side to red, the other side to the cars power antenna wire. This way you can manually make the antenna go up and down when the key is on. Next connect the radios Blue white to the microbypass.

[@Maddevildog247]

Thank you for the advice. Is there any issue if i just leave the ant power wire wired to the red power? When the car is off, will the ant go down? Not sure if i want to have a switch installed in the car anywhere. I bought this unit more for the CD player than the ability for DVD's. If I don't use the bypass at all and leave the green wire disconnected to the parking brake is the DVD function the only thing i will loose or will other features not work as well? Thanks again bro.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Paige's American Girl Doll Channel yes you can just connect to red and it will go up and down with the key. Yeah you will lose menu settings, I would just connect it to the E break wire for when you need it.

[@misterfourtwenty3237]

Can you show the step to install the pac RP4.2-BM21 to steering wheel control for bmw and the steps for all wiring? I'm having a hard time. Thank you

[@bradleydavidgood]

Hi, is this same method still required and valid on current Pioneer models like this one? PIONEER DMH-1500NEX. Thanks

[@laxin8519]

Installed and works. Only issue is the in dash parking break light remains on. Is that normal?

[@jensen3944]

Sorry if this is a dumb question...my understanding is that the 3 black ground wires from car + radio + bypass should all be connected. Does this mean I don't need to ground any wires to chassis?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Jensen yes they all go together. The one from the car should be a chassis ground.

[@jensen3944]

So, just to confirm you are saying the connection from the factory + new aftermarket car harness is already sufficient chassis ground (no need to wire to radio bolt/screw etc.?) Thank you for your response.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Jensen some Nissan and Toyota do not have grounds otherwise you are good

[@jensen3944]

Now that I'm looking at my wires it's actually looking like there is no black ground wire on the aftermarket car harness I bought. Now not sure where to go from here. Should I just ground the aftermarket radio's ground wire to a bolt? Then not sure where to connect the ground from bypass since on the bypass instructions it says to connect black ground wire to black ground on radio and black ground of car harness. Since the car harness doesn't seem to have one can I connect it to a splice in the same black radio ground that I'm bolting?

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Jensen ok, yes that car needs a ground. Go to a bolt, connect that to the bypass and the radio. All will be good.

[@BigRichardsGentlemensClub]

What if I dont have an amp or anything hooked up to the remote wire? Will it work if I just plug the bypass wire into the remote wire on the head unit if the remote wire isnt hooked to anything else?

[@jeffrerr]

I installed a micro bypass about 12 months ago for my pioneer AVH-Z55250BT, but I have an issue where it doesn’t always work properly. Most times I turn the car on the greyed out settings flash on and off and it’s 50/50 whether they’ll be available when moving or not. Any ideas?

[@hotstopper1694]

Going to buy a x4800bs, Pac RP5-gm31 Bypass kit for my 09 Silverado. Do This Bypass unit have the micro bypass built in or do I still need to install Micro Bypass to get full access while driving.

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Yes you still need the microbypass to unlock the radio

[@mickeymouse-wv4sq]

I didn’t plug mine in and it works perfectly...

[@EricDPeterson56]

Hey Guys, great video! I bought this from you Saturday, and installed it. Works great, but now my brake light is on all the time. Did I do something Wrong?

[@pontiachotshot]

What if I need my remote wire for my amp ? Should I split it with the green wire and my amp ? Hope it has enough voltage to do both wires

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

It can do both the bypass and the amp no problem

[@pontiachotshot]

Thanks so much !

I think I read I need a more recent micro bypass for my 4100nex because of android auto. Is this true? can you please send the link where I can find one. thanks a bunch you guys are awesome!

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

Yes that is correct, if you contact your seller they should be able to get you the new one.

[@toromosqueda5303]

Do you need a switch with it or is it just the bypass

[@scotthelphenstine7975]

I have an AVH-x4800bs and i was having the same issue of not being able to use certain functions on my radio. i did some research and i found that grounding the parking brake wire to the radio itself did the same thing as using a bypass. i tried it on mine and it works perfectly now so why waste the money on a bypass when you can do this simple trick to get the same result

[@danielhinojosa1748]

Scott Helphenstine So by grounding the parking brake on the stereo you can watch videos and drive?

[@aggressivesambofordemonrat1381]

daniel hinojosa Either he has a cheap DVD in dash or he's full of crap.

[@gamertone6953]

Scott Helphenstine yeah it'll unlock the screen but you still can't watch video while driving

[@aggressivesambofordemonrat1381]

Gamer Tone Exactly these pioneers have to see a parking brake or ground signal engage and disengage.

[@r3VOKEDG]

Gonna have to argue on that. I thought the same thing, that I'd have to buy this shitty Microbypass but after contacting Pioneer retailer they told me just to ground the light green parking brake wire behind the stereo. Did it and i can play videos on the move now. And I have a 3 month old model... MVH-AV290BT.

[@ozlard]

Hello I just pick this up I wired up to my pioneer avh241 ex it won’t work Do I have to ground it to a different ground instead of the factory wiring ? Thank you

[@grabbity]

So my brand new one won't play DVDs whether I'm parked or not, even with the brake on and the car not running. Will this help with that as well? Or is it just for disabling it while not parked?

[@mayancruizer]

Can you still use the remote wire at the sametime for the remote wire for the amp.

[@RJVermillion]

Ok so I hooked up my 5800 and I love it specially the micro bypass piece but I'm gonna add a backup camera so how is it going to notice or switch from DVD to rear cam???

[@FiveStarCarStereoInc]

RJVermillion there is a purple white wire in the power plug of the radio. It needs to be connected to the reverse light trigger wire. Then you go into the camera settings and turn camera on. When this is done your radio will know it is in reverse and turn on the camera

[@mycustompaintedlife502]

My pioneer is wired like this with the purple/white to reverse trigger and I have the bypass wired correctly, as well, yet it doesn’t work! I continue to comment on these issues, hoping to get a response at some point. I have spent so much money trying to get anything to work with the AVH-1400 NEX besides just Apple car play and Bluetooth for music and calling/texting
