Hey guys anyone with a restyle kit do the brake bypass? I have some questions and would love to do it. Just not sure where (which harness) I need to do this at. Please let me know. Love my restyle kit just dislike that I can’t change settings on the go. 24162590-64EA-497E-82A1-85D587C54F3A.thumb.jpeg.abc407f2c1095612384af5d818994098.jpeg

Looks nice. What is a brake bypass? I'm guessing to make the unit think the brake is engaged? Interested in your longer term review on the unit.

Yeah no idea why it posted it upside down? But the unit doesn’t allow you to change settings unless you have the parking brake engaged. Which is super annoying especially when first getting used to it.

Did wire colors match up in that harness all 4 of them?

Some of those units, you would just need to ground that wire.  Guess they are getting smarter.

Not sure 

 

I think it did with all 4 but there is instructions stating if it doesn't then only hook up the 3 wires

 

Not sure if I had a yellow/black

 

I stripped the tesa tape from the initial portion of the harness right where it plugs into to alpine HU

 

You can see the black, blue/white and yellow/blue, yellow/black wires

 

 i have an extra harness in my garage I will dig it up and let you know though

That’s awesome thank you so much for the insight! Not sure how you had an extra harness but that’s clutch buddy! How are you liking your unit?

 

I have a 2017 crew cab LT with Bose

 

When I installed it there was no sound 

 

spent an hour with crutchfield tech support

 

realized the harness didn’t have a 8 pin plug for Bose systems 

 

Alpine shipped me a new harness in a few days and everything worked 

 

i like it it so far. Only complaint is iPod USB port is crappy. Took it out and replaced with smaller plug in lighter outlet

 

Also when I plug my iPhone in the USB port for power it connects to CarPlay but doesn’t connect to HU

 

I am going to disconnect usb plugs from the hub so all ports will have power but not connect

The Newer Alpine units like to see a switched ground. When i put one in my 2013 a couple years ago, i installed a switch in the upper glove box. from there, the brake wire from the head unit went into the switch then out to the radio ground. I had to flip the switch 2-3 times to get it to bypass everything so i could access the menus.

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      That one looks decent for the price   BUT..I want something that also supports OBDI/1.5. A lot of the prosumer-grade scanners don't have legacy support in order to keep costs low. I believe the Autel does if you go higher end with them.   For fun, I reached out to a local Snap-On rep because I was interested in the 2600. $1895 MSRP, says he can do $1595. That's still a lot, but then again, that's not a horrible discount for just asking out of the blue. Could probably do better if I was a regular buying off his truck, but I'm not.   Not sure if I mentioned but I didn't realize with USED scanners from Snap On that you need to make sure a) the serial number isn't flagged as stolen. On the newer ones, SnapOn can remotely disable the device if it's flagged in their system. And, customer service can tell you if it is, if you're thinking about buying used. B) Make sure it's paid off. If the seller still owes money to the truck or if they financed through Snap On, the device can be remotely disabled until the balance is paid. It's less clear if SnapOn will tell you if a balance is still owed; I didn't make it that far with the used model I was considering. I did read that SnapOn has no way of tracking any "truck financing" deals between the SnapOn rep and buyer, only if they financed through corporate. So there's that extra caution needed.   Still waffling on whether I go with a ~$500ish Autel/TopDon or spend bigger money. The value seems to be in the prosumer brands. I'm not giving them enough credit TBH, actual production repair shops use them daily BUT I'm still allergic to certain kinds of underdog products trying to unseat American companies with solid reputations. SnapOn's scanner isn't wholly made in the US, but it is assembled here and they have US support and probably the most proven/ robust legacy support.   Something to think about. Value, or principles? There's a $1k difference.

      Winter Returned

      By Atlas · Posted

      I'm thankful to live where we don't have extreme weather. We might all be blown to smithereens when Mt. Rainier goes, but 80 is warm enough in the summer and I can generally count the number of hard freezes in the winter on one hand. The cars here don't rust and they don't get sun-baked, either.   We have finished off many of our average 52 days of "clear/sunny" weather, though. Sunsets are coming earlier, the nights are a little cooler. It's right around the first week of September when we get our first warning that summer is coming to a close with overcast skies and the start of "hoodie weather" temperatures during the cooler parts of the day. By October, it's usually time to ditch the shorts. By November, it's mostly raining.

      My point was: If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   But, I will have a talk with AI to make sure their info is more accurate going forward.
