Register your product on their website. It fixes a few bugs (like the updating message from the navtraffic xm tuner.) It does not affect the bypass

I registered a few months ago and still have not received any new software.

Try calling then. They may have only sent it to people that complained of the NavTraffic issue

Just did the AVIC-D1 Bypass on my new unit from crutchfield and it works like a Champ. For all you 04 f150 owners the reverse signal wire is the black wire w/ a pink stripe in the door channel on the drivers side and the VSS senser is the Gray wire w/ a black stripe on the factory wiring harness. I don't have a video unit yet, but I'm looking for some. I may just go with a PS2 or something along that line. Again. AVIC-D1 bypass works! I hope a senior member posts this answer soon. I was kinda worried doing it but it was easy and I don't even know what it's like to be locked out of anything.

everyone is saying ground the parking brake wire when the instructions are telling you to connect it to the POWER side of the Parking brake wire. Does applying the bypass to the R197 pins change that?.. It says it in plain text on page 11. Light Green - Used to detect the ON/OFF status of the parking brake. This lead must be connected to the power supply side of the parking brake switch. If this connection is made incorrectly or omitted, certain functions of your navigation system will be unusable.

Ground the wire. Its been posted here a dozen times. The manual states that because it is instructing you how to install the unit "properly" but when you install it properly, it locks you out, so don't follow the manual. Do the R197 bypass and ground the light green parking brake wire. End of story

Am I doing something wrong?

I installed my AVIC-D1 today. Did the mod by inserting a pin into the empty slot (next to the ground wire). Attached this wire to the green brake wire and grounded them both. Turned the car on. Immediately the NAV unit turns on and a warning comes....something like "CAUTION: System detected improper connection of parking brake lead........Please check manual for safe operation. OK." I press OK and it then goes into regular operation. Is this normal? Do others (who have successfully done AVIC-D1 mod) see this warning? How do you get rid of it?

I haven't tried anything else yet....except the built-in CD player. Sounds fantastic.

Is there a way to turn the unit completely off? My amps are connected to it and I don't want them to be on all the time when the car is running!!

Thanks for helping this newbie.

That message went away on mine after a couple hundred miles. As for your amps, I responded to your other post but there is no real reason to turn your amps off while the car is running. If no music is playing, it is very very little draw on your electrical system and it is charging anyway. It would only be a problem if your amps were staying on while the car was off

Thanks a lot. I guess I will just have to wait for this message to go away then.
