On my AVIC-960BT, I am unable to confirm (or refuse) the user license. The buttons are inactive. I cannot scroll too. Is it linked to the fact I have not connected the hand brake wire ?
Pioneer AVIC problem - linked to hand brake wire ?

I would post that to a Pioneer forum [MENTION=12617]asylum[/MENTION], you might get a lot more hits. Does the manual say you HAVE to hook it up?
Yes I have asked there and it seems it is the case. But if anyone can confirm...
Unless you do a bypass. U have to connect it to the handbrake. Safety issue..
I would check out avic411.com for more help. I used them for my Avic-x920bt issue and updates.

I just grounded my parking brake wire for both my AVIC 700 & 900, the system then thinks the parking brake is on all the time, allowing access to all menus all the time.
Some unit are easy like yours. Mine, I had to move the mutewire to a different slot in the harness. THEN ground that mute wire. They make it difficult each time it seems like.
Just go to Amazon and search Pioneer parking brake bypass. It's a device you wire in for safety bypass. Less than 20$ I have one on my pioneer and it works well for years.
I have seen those and have used them on other unit. But the bypass on my unit was FREE so I didn't buy anything.
on my 8100nex avic i just grounded the parking brake and did the software bypass. this works with 7100/8100 i know on my 4000nex i had to purchase a bypass. You can buy a bypass for 15 dollars or less on ebay for your specific unit
Grounded the brake wire and now it is ok. But I have read somewhere that the present US version are more difficult to bypass.
