hows it goin? i jus picked up a pioneer 4000 double din.. i got the wiring kit too. i wanted to install it so that the dvd will work when i drive.. i seen before that i got to pull a wire pin out and put it into a different spot... any help or pictures would be great... { i dont wanna do the shortcut way with pullin the ebrake one click... id rather do it this way to save me the trouble }

 

any1??

 

any help would be great!

 

DO you mean so it plays a dvd while driving?

Is there a parking brake wire? Ground it.

 

grounding it doesn't work, i forget the specifics but you have to install a toggle switch or resistor then toggle the switch on then back off after you start the vehicle, i'm assuming they changed the system so that it has to see ground, power(or whatever the opposite term for ground is) then ground again, but simply grounding the wire on the avh4000 will not work(from what i've ready in every other thread about it.... i'll be installing mine in a week or two)

 

yeah i heard grounding it doesnt work.. i hear you can switch one of the wires pin and it will work... anyone that knows what im talkin about please help!! waiting to install with this info...

 

anyone else ??

 

to the top....

 

Sorry to break it to you brother but the simple wire swap that is available on all AVIC series Pioneer and Premier units is not available on any of the DVD screen units. This includes your 4000.

There are two things you can do:

1) Put a toggle on your green wire. It needs a momentary negative (or ground) 'pulse' to activate the safety bypass so you have to flick it on then off to get it to work. OR you can.....

2) Buy and program a PAC TR-7 to do a single negative pulse when you turn on the screen. This is the unit that most Alpines need to work as well.

Hope this helps.

 

we use a regular relay
85 and 87 = ground.
86 = Decks Remote turn on wire.
30 = parking brake wire from deck.

from http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/f...howtopic=20118 supposedly a regular 2 dollar relay will work fine instead of spending 20 on the pac relay

 

Well a single relay won't work unless its a timed on/off output like what the PAC piece does. I have tried a regular relay and it no worky.

 

and you've tried installing it the way they have described above? cause they've supposedly done multiple installs with that setup and had it work
