Finally got mine to work with this video. I had installed the three wire bypass and it did not work. If I went faster than 5mph, the video shut off with warning. This fix is what worked.

I purchased one of these and wired it exactly like you show but for some reason the ok button doesn't illuminate for me to get past it

What if I have a subwoofer. Do I connect all 4 blue ones together.

[@lost_donkey9153]

I know it's an old comment, but I ended up twist pairing the blue turn-on wire from the bypass kit with the head units blue turn on wire and crimped them together with a butt connector on one end. The other end goes to my 4 channel amp which is also paired to another remote wire daisy chaining to my mono amp. I just installed this today and it was working without issues as far as I can tell. Radio: Pioneer DMH 1500nex Amp: infinity reference 3004a & reference 6001a Hope this helps

[@richierich1169]

I have two questions if you don't mind. The black wire on the radio harness should go to the vehicle black harness and not to the chassis, right? Second, I used a relay and im getting a popping sound in my speaker when I switch off the ignition. Any ideas? Should I put the ground wire from the new radio harness to the ground wire on the stock harness?

[@minasminassian9990]

Hey buddy, please can you explain to me how could I connect bypass light green to my Kia Optima 2012? Thanks

[@ThatCleanMT]

Hey guys. Just to confirm, the blue and blue/white wires need to be also spliced in to the Metra harness blue wire? The instructions provided with the bypass make no mention of that and only states to connect the three wires to the three wires on the pioneer harness. However I have now seen your video and a couple of others and you all connect those two to the third blue wire.

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Yes, thats correct. Since it requires ground, you will need to splice into the ground wire. Same goes for the blue wire, this will need to be spliced into the blue / white wire of the radio in addition to the other wires needed to be connected by the adapter car harness.

[@Smoothoperator81]

Awesome video. Just subbed. But 1 question I had is the grounds would connect to factory harness but the blue would not unless you were hooking up an amp right?

[@adrianapalomo2209]

So basically the green goes with the light green and that’s it? It doesnt go with anything else like the ground (black) and power (blue) ?

[@FTL87]

For the blue wire on the bypass. Can you connect that to the system remote control, blue wire for an aftermarket amp and do you also need to connect it to the harness?

[@TrevinMcClain]

I have a AVH 120 bt I connected black to black, green to parking break but have a white wire instead and that’s connect to the blue and white but it still isn’t working?

[@mavrickjubei7124]

So if the solid Blue wire from the Vehicle wire is also connected to the Blue White wire do i need to just disconnect that wire?

[@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

[@ChrisEsposito]

having a problem with my Pioneer DMH-220EX I cant get the video to by pass when i hook up the wires the way you have them in the video. i played around and was able to get the phone app on the radio to open and let me use it when driving but unless i ground the green on off on it will not work. im going to mess around with it again another day. but for now i can use the phone options. i dont really plan on watching movies on it.

[@mavrickjubei7124]

OK. The Light Green wire on the Pioneer unit also has a Yellow wire connecting with it to the Light Green wire of the vehicle wire. Do I connect the Microbypass Green Wire to the Light Green wire of the Pioneer Unit only like in the instructions and keep the Yellow wire as is or also disconnect the Yellow wire as well?

[@mavrickjubei7124]

Correction. It's the Yellow Black wire not the solid Yellow wire.

[@mavrickjubei7124]

NVM. I took off the electrical tape and saw that it wasn't really connected to the Light Green wire!

[@SteveDouglas-uf6rm]

Where can I get that wire harness for the parking break bypass

[@catmeister5444]

Will this stop the remote cable working (say i use a scotch lock to get the signal) as I have an AMP connected to the remote wire.

[@michaelw1489]

@@usa5046 dont see that video on your page

[@crbws6676]

Not working for me. The black and green are connected per this video. However I connected the blue wire directly to the head unit (blue/white) ONLY and not also to the factory harness. My vehicle does not have a power antenna and my amp is has auto turn-on sensing (so no need to connect a remote wire). If connecting the blue as described above is fine, then I an thinking it may be a bad microbypass? P.S. I did purchase on ebay (w/ free shipping) since no longer on amazon.

[@eduardoramirez2154]

[@conanhayle]

bought one of these from Chinky land , my wiring does not have a blue and white lead ? tried connecting it to a live feed but no luck

[@MegaChuck51]

Do you have to hook the BLUE/WHITE to the vehicle harness for power? I have a DMH-160BT PIONEER and I don't have the Blue from main power hooked up at all . I don't have an Amp, or power antenna to need any hook up.

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

the radio harness blue white wire is an amp trigger. If you don't have any other source that needs it (factory amp, aftermarket amp, etc), then it can simply be connected to this bypass only.

[@MegaChuck51]

@Provo Beast Audio Installation I installed exactly as you did but different off/on/off switch. I don't get the parking brake warning, it goes directly to the legal warning about watching videos from the drivers seat!! I can mirror link my phone, the radio recognizes the phone because I can sweep between pages on the radio screen but no video!!

[@dustinbailey1980]

With firmware version 3.0 I can no longer bypass the warning screen on my dmh wt 76nex Is there a new version of bypass or does someone have an older firmware version I can flash?

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

I haven't found one yet unfortunately. But if you hear one for the wireless CarPlay units, let us know!

[@jmudd5449]

I had to ground both green wires. The bypass and the one from the head unit.

[@justinjones4089]

Or you could just hook the green wire up to hey ground on the vehicle chassis and it does the same thing without having to buy anything

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Not for Pioneer, as they require a double or triple pulse negative to operate. Don't believe me? Just ground the wire and see it not operate correctly.

[@voltiopower4551]

​@@ProvoBeastAudio fot it to work you need to put and on and off switch on the green cable from de radio to the bypass wen you have it connected if it dont work turn on and off the switch very fast that how i did my car work perfect

Just don't use the parking brake wire produced by the idatalink maestro, and instead connect the radio's parking brake to your bypass. Black to ground, and blue / white to your radio's blue white wire.

[@SyCoYT]

Awesome video got mine to work on my AVH-120bt

[@shadoe1l0]

What they doesn't tell you is that this mod may cause your brake light to always on on the dash.

[@kiallsop]

Sounds like a wiring error. The Pioneer harness blue/white connects to the pulser Blue wire, the Pioneer harness Light Green wire connects to the pulser Brown wire, the Pioneer harness Black connects to pulser Black wire. There are NO connections to the car harness at all other than the common ground Black wire.

Morning Provo Beast ! I'm planning the installation of my AVIC-7200-NEX on my 07 Toyota 4 runner, and you're videos are really helpfull. Thank you so much for posting. I was thinking about buying the microbypass, but on the sonic electronic website, i've seen this module is not required for the recent AVIC Pioneer HeadUnits. => Does it mean I can leave the blue/white "System Remote Control" wire from the Pioneer harness ? => Or should I connect it to the blue/white "Amp turn on" wire from the CRUX adapter (as I do not have a JBL system, I think there is no need to connect them. The blue "Power antenna" wire from the CRUX adapter is probably also useless) => I'll probably have to run the light green "parking break" wire coming from the Pioneer harness all the way to the left of the steering wheel in order to connect it. So much fun :) Thanks a lot for your help

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Our friends over at Five Star shows you how it's done: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rWelq6GgYregpbs. The blue / white wire can be tied into the crux harness blue white wire to be safe.

Hi buddy. Nice video! Does this bypass also work with Pioneer SPH-360 DAB?

in some circumstances yes. Units with an onboard GPS antenna occasionally negate the bypass as the unit can still detect you are moving via GPS antenna. I haven't tested the newest gen Pioneer units that are manufactured through the Dual facility. Give it a shot and let us know if it works!

can i also have my amp wire hooked into that blue wire as well as the bypass wire ??

[@paco.taco.flaco28]

Thats exactly what i was wondering. The guy in the video said the black and the blue/white go back into the harness but that doesnt make sense (unless the ground is supplied thru the harness) i thought the black from the headunit harness gets grounded to the vehicle and the blue/white is for the amp which is normally used outside of the connector meaning it gets wired directly to the sub amp.

[@JoeTirone]

Hey thanks for postings. Used your other video demo to replace my blown sub in my 4runner. Putting in a Sony headhunt. Will this work? Also does the bypass work with iPhone mirroring videos while in motion? I feel like I see most people doing this of units with DVD players. Thanks!

Just ordered from your ebay store, thanks! Not sure on the third set, where do you say this one goes to after they are crimped? I'm putting this into an RV, will it even be used? Its the blue /white wire, think you called it an accessory.

This is specifically for pioneer radios, regardless of the vehicle it is being installed to. Black to ground, Green to parking brake, Blue / white to Pioneer's blue white wire.

[@ProvoBeastAudio]

Nope, different brands require different connections. You will need a bypass for your pioneer as they require a double pulse negative.

My bypass has a yellow wire for my pioneer? Do I need it? 4500nex Radio

If you have a yellow wire, you may have one that also accommodates an Alpine unit. Some Alpines require a foot brake wire which the yellow usually is for. Because you have a pioneer, it may not be used.
