is this really needed? i thought all u had to do was connect the brake wire to the ground and it would bypass it?

it is not needed... this is for people who do know whats really good. save the $15 and buy some movies to play while your driving

They have actually worked a method around it. It now needs a pulsed signal which this creates. Some types can still be done the old fashioned way by grounding it out. But I didn't have any luck and had to go with this. I hope that helps?

I have a Pioneer AVH-X5700BHS and all I did was ground it and it works fine while I drive. I didn't need this.

Although you can just ground the brake wire, I have heard that you will not be able to perform firmware updates as well as a couple of other features. The unit itself somehow detects this, and the MicroBypass is supposed to fool the unit into thinking that the brake is on.

I have the Pioneer AVHX2700BS and I just grounded the wire and it worked. In fact I didn't even ground to anything except touch it back to the head unit itself. See here: https://youtu.be/hd0rz3iMrPQ?t=1m37s

In the past i have built a cable up,using a small bike type brake cable! you mite try it,you will have to run it of the lower shifter cable on the trans .you will need to run the top end of the cable into the dash and hook it up if it is a dash mounted needle. If it is in the column it more work than it a cable! hope i helped out..good luck on the build!

Not the gas pedal, kit for that clips on. You do remove the old brake pedal and install new brake pedal from kit. Brake pedal install is a real bitch to get on. Good luck...

yes and no, I had one of these and the out put was so touchy that it would either lock up the brakes on my light trailer or no braking feel at all. I traded up for the $99 #51130 unit that takes the same wiring harness. Either way you have to wire it in.

The wiring harness is for towing. If you are not going to tow any trailer or vehicle then you do not need it. I got the receiver hitch to connect my bicycle rack, which I did not need to get the harness.

Yes, you will just need to cut the wires that need to go to the bypass and connect to bypass instead.

Hi Marvin, This micro bypass wires directly into the radio's existing harness. Three wire to hook up, you'll be done in like 1 minute. It allows video to be viewed in any gear, moving or parked. It sends the proper pulse to the radio's cpu to emulate a parked, brake on situation

No. This is a bypass for the anti-theft system. Its used to install a remote start system

If it has a bypass just ground it you don't even need one of these. But yes it would workhttp://youtu.be/IayD5Iyhbgs

To my surprise, the switch did not have a ground connection. I'm guessing that it's not required because there are no exposed connections (it attaches with wires and wire nuts), and that the construction is double insulated.

yes it is easy to install==== but jack it up all the way one side at a time==place under rubber bumpers== keep clamp a way from the brake lines! make sure the clamp is tight==after you drive it check clamp!!! enjoy

Shouldn't make any difference. You have to cut cables to length and reuse the hardware on your brakes at the business end of the cable.

yes you need this to make your wiring connections trouble free. This connector will plug into your vehicles wiring harness, It is possible to wire a stereo without it, but you have to cut off the original connector, and harder to match up the wires because not all manufacturers use same wire color patterns.I highly recommend getting this wiring harness.

Hi ,you need to bypass the risistor wire (red wire to ignition switch 12v),black wire ground (-) coil,albert

I just returned this item... I'm an ASE Certified tech an even with that, I didn't want to take on the wiring involved. Most cars require an additional bypass box to be wired in to allow the security system allow the remote starter to work

It needs the burried wire, this just doesn't have it. The unit would hook up to wire if you already had wire installed. It won't work at all if you don't have the wire.

It doesn't matter as the brake cable end stays in the original brake lever and the brake cable passes through RL726 and connects to the brake caliper. You only have to cut the brake cable housing at the RL726 lever. The levers work great and do not effect the working of the original levers. Jim
