[How to] Enable Video Bypass on Pioneer NEX Units

Wow... No Thx. I'll deal with it

 

This doesn't work on the 4100.

 

Gunther any way on the AVH 4100 NEX units to do a bypass through the radio. Had it installed didn't worry about grounding out the parking brake because I assumed the 4th quadrant trick was going to work but it doesn't seem too. Firmware is 1.03. If Pioneer took away the fourth quadrant trick I'm wondering how svc techs and developers access. Is grounding out the parking brake wire okay or do you have to do the relay

 

I believe you have to engage ebrake, disengage and re-engage which means I think you need a switch as they've figured out that people are just grounding the parking brake to get around this safety feature. So with a switch, you could switch on, off and on again tricking it into thinking you've pressed, released and re-pressed the parking brake.

 

It doesn't work on the 4000 or 4100.. Sadly.

 

If it doesn't work you "could" use a switch. ( I personally think there is a better and seamless way. Plus, who wants to mess with a switch ) get a double pulse relay or make a bypass

 

I tried touching the screen to disable the override and nothing happen. Am I doing something wrong

 

Can anyone verify if the software bypass still works after updating firmware to 1.05 on 6100NEX?

Also, if it helps anyone else out, I originally couldn't get my 6100NEX to do the bypass. The trick was that I needed to calibrate the touch screen first, even though everything seemed like it was clicking where I was touching. (It's a menu option to do this somewhere in the settings) Then when trying the bypass again just like all the videos explain it worked first try.

 

I wonder if this works with the AppRadio 4 too?

 

Since the 4100 doesn't seem to work with the screen bypass, Anybody who has the Pioneer Avh-4100nex try the wired bypass on eBay?

You can use that (though I have never) or just use a pac tr-7. Pioneers just need a double pulse relay if not using a switch (which I would never... Just me though). Tr-7 can be used for MANY different things. Also good if someone gets an alpine ddin.

 

I have that head unit and use a bypass

I've had that bypass installed for 7 months and noticed recently that I'm no longer able to watch video. I did recently update firmware to 1.05. Any chance Pioneer found a way to disable the bypass?

 

I'm not sure, sounds possible. I have not updated my firmware at all. Did the update improve anything else? If not maybe see if you can uninstall the update.

I have a ford explore just left an aftermarket auto shop , guy was very short with me Didn't even put the screws back in the conceal when he finished but he said he tried 3 different things and nothing worked to bypass and watch DVDs , I did try the AV off for 15 seconds while driving home but I do have my e brake wire grounded to the truck Not sure if that matters , but in at a lose ,, I was excited to get it done and he tells me it can't be done , please tell me he's just too lazy and it wasn't worth his time

 

It worked I put it in park I tried it twice and the second time it said setup .... Thank you

 

just grounding parking brake doesn't work on that radio. people will say use a micro bypass but sometimes they don't work. I have made them before. I generally use a pac tr-7 when installing stereos that use a double pulse. (this is what I do for a living and never had a problem)

 

When I first bought it the 15sec trick didn't work but I guess it's very sensitive ,, anyway I'd live to add a rear camera to the rear bumper , I did notice it had a rear setting , assuming it's for a camera and ideas for me ,
Thanks

 

Cool trick. I'm going to try it on my 5100 when it's installed. You mentioned in the YouTube video comments that you wired the rear view mirror backup camera to the radio. Do you have any instructions posted for how you did that?

Thanks
