Pioneer AVH-P4400BH Parking Brake Bypass Help?

I've been searching around the forum but can't seem to find someone who had success with using a basic relay to bypass the parking brake wire on the Pioneer AVH-P4400BH

Seems like everybody bought a bypass on eBay,did Pioneer change this up again so the relay trick won't work on the newer radios?

Thanks for any help if you have the 4400

 

i used a simple relay on my avh p4300 and it worked.

 

Your best bet is to search or start a thread in AVIC411.com.

It's a forum for Pionner head units, very informative crowd there. Always helped me with my AVIC F700BT.

 

Most NAV units, you can just ground the parking brake wire and it'll work. I know it works perfectly on my setup, although it's not a Pioneer.

 

I have it working on my Pioneer 3200BT - not sure how similar/close that is. Let me know if you don't find one specific to your unit.

I just Read a bunch of post on a Subaru forum. Everyone is saying to use a Solid State type of bypass sold on eBay for the avh-p4400bh. They also said that if you don't use a bypass that you loose some functions of the Bluetooth phone options. I'm just gonna order one. I can't install the radio this week end anyway cause it my 20th wedding aniversary

 

I have the same radio and I have a basic relay. It seems to work without a problem I just don't have the right iPod cable to watch youtube to test it out.

 

I've got the older 4200; if you just ground it, it won't work. You can do this method with the relay or just order the bypass off ebay.

i just grounded the parking brake wire in the cab instead of splicing to the parking brake and everything works fine.

 

Beaver what radio do u have?

 

kw-nt3hdt in dash navigation unit/dvd player. it is a jvc and I was told as well that I would need to purchase a bypass relay for the unit to work while moving. I just grounded the p brake wire and it works just fine.
