DO AT YOUR OWN RISK! No parts needed!
1. Ground the light green parking brake wire.
2. Turn the radio on and push the center menu button on the bottom.
3. Hit the AV icon button.
4. Hit the OFF icon from the AV screen.
5. Push and hold your finger on the bottom left of the screen about a half inch up and a half inch in for about 15 seconds or until you see a black box popup that says “Set On”
Once that black box pops up you are done!
I tried this method (also seen elsewhere): light green parking brake wire grounded to chassis, “Set On” steps successful. But Android Auto still shows a message on the Pioneer still says” Android Auto unavailable…please try again when it is safe and lawful to do so”. I assume this is due to not sensing the parking brake – anyone else with this problem?
Discovered I was getting this message because the phone was not connecting to bluetooth. Works great with this bypass now.
On my 7100 I have to Wait until off comes up or I can not drive and have a DVDs playing. I had 7100 installed professionally and yes they grounded green wire. They took receiver back out to make sure ground was ok.
