Default Car audio / electrical expert needed :)

Hey everyone,

I recently got a new head-unit (Pioneer x940BT) installed but was looking to add a few things and was hoping I could get some help from someone who knows how to or is pretty good with car electricals. I'm pretty inexperienced when it comes to this so I'd appreciate any help I could get.

Let me me know, happy to offer some cash or beers for the time needed. The work is on a 2011 WRX sedan, located in Seattle near Capital Hill.

Parking brake override/bypass
iPhone connection cord
Backup camera

Thanks,
Mike

Electrical isn't that hard to get the hang of. If you have a little confidence, you should check out www.the12volt.com its a great wealth of information.

The bypass is just a relay you can buy at radio shack. Pretty easy to install. I did mine myself.
The iPod hook up is pretty easy as well. Should be plug and play as long as you buy the correct one for your unit.

90% of the time there's just a wire that runs from the headunit to the e-brake wiring. I believe its a blue wire. You just need to trace the wire from the headunit to the ebrake wires n snip it n tap it off....just my two cents

I have the 940xbt also. The e brake wire is green. Also on this model you can not just snip it and ground it out like older models.

I got a quote from FOSS audio for $50 to do it. Not a bad price if you don't know what your doing/risk messing something up.

All AVICS are bypassed by changing the harness pinout. Well documented on car audio websites and youtube.

Thanks all, I did get the Bypass off of Amazon and saw some Google vids, guess I just hate tampering with stuff I'm not familiar with.

Bummer - yah, I really don't trust myself with wiring and tampering with stuff. Who knows, maybe I'll feel daring and do it myself one of these days.

Right on, I may take you up on that. This is the bypass I got, it the same one you used? http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005GQG88Q/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1359639639&sr=8-1&pi=SL75

Sounds like you're getting what you need, check out avic411.com when you get a chance. You might find more good stuff there.
