Suggestion

In looking through its manual I read that there is "parking brake" signal wire which needs to be connected (and indicating that the pb is set during operation) for the unit to play video.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

8 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I needed to have bluetooth in my 996 and was not able to find a way to do it with the stock Cr-220, so I went looking. Ended up with the Kenwood KIV-BT901. It has the bluetooth functionality I needed and I also ended up having a backup camera installed as well, since this unit supported it. Tons of other functions. Since I have seen many other radio threads, thought I would post a picture with the wallpaper customization I configured it with. This photo really does not do it justice as the flash makes the plastic look cheep. Much better in person. I was also able to match the color the unit uses to the other controls in the car.

POST 2Original post

What harness did you use when installing the radio?

POST 3Original post

I have the BT900 and hate it. Does not have streaming BT like it hinted at. Looking at going double DIN now for better options. I like the background though you put on it.

POST 4Original post

I just ordered the BT901 and have an installation question. In looking through its manual I read that there is "parking brake" signal wire which needs to be connected (and indicating that the pb is set during operation) for the unit to play video. Is that signal wire available behind the dash? And if so, where? Or did you just short that wire to some other "always on" signal wire so that video can be played at any time?

POST 5Original post

The parking brake wire is under the center console. You might look on ebay to see whether there is a parking brake bypass device that you connect into the unit which convinces it that the parking brake is always on.

POST 7Original post

Any particular reason you chose a single DIN instead of a double DIN?

POST 8Original post

How does the Pandora work? Does this radio connect to your Smart Phone. I keep forgetting to measure data usage on my Iphone while listening to Pandora so I can estimate how long I listen to Pandora on trips. BTW - I have a limited data plan. In regards to double vs single din - does you console have a plastic divider between the top and bottom din slot? My 2001 does. The double din "GPS" factory console of course has no center divider and no fastener holes set up like on the two single din slots. At least that is what I have learned in my pursuit of going the double din route.
