So im trying to install the Pioneer AVH-P2300DVD,

i bought the stereo harness that had like 6 wires along with 4 rca wires, that didnt work.
so i went and got another wire for the car. it came with two wire harness.
the first one is the main supply with the yellow, red, blue, black, and so forth. the second harness in the kit is the 4 speaker wires ( green and purple).
so after i connected all the wires to the harness, they had this light green wire that is suppose to hook on to the e-brake sensor. I'm missing my sensor, cause when the previous owner install the R154 transmission, it look like they cut it off.
The old stereo is a factory lexus pioneer tape player, with four connection. three white and one blue. when I installed the new pioneer stereo in, the only two plug i connected were the two middle ones, and the two outter ones was left unplugged. I've work on many cars and this is my first lexus that i owned so i have no idea on how these are suppose to work.
soo if any one that own a sc300 who has done a stereo swap please help another fellow soarer owner.

oh my car is a 92 sc300. and it just a standard tape player. I look in the trunk, seats and glove box, no disc player of any kind.
and how can i by pass the saftey switch for the dvd since i dont have a e-brake sensor. they say use a small toggle switch i tired but nothing happen.

first post and you got shot down like a bi plane.... lol jk man. i have installed tons of cd players but never a dvd. google would be your best bet to learn how to bypass that safety wire. however not sure why your metra harness did not work that is the one i am using. but i dont use the rcas i ran new speaker wires. because otherwise you will get engine noise. read all the way through that link the guy above gave you except dont worry about splicing the wire for the power antenna. and run new speaker wires to the deck. also i dont mind helping but you have to give me more detail. like pics of how you wired it would be stellar.

I didnt even bother to read your whole post, my bad.

You can bypass the safety switch by GROUNDING it. A buddy of mine does stereos and gave me this tip, it works on my Kenwood DNX-7100

Not all can be grounded. google orebay the tr7 video bypass, it wires up to the harness so you done have to worry about grounds n what not. Or else you need to hook one up to a constant power then the other wire to a switch Your basically making it think the parking brake is on. I had to do this to my old alpine but it required you to e brake on and pump the brake twice. The video bypass is much simplier! get it..

I wired it as how most car are wired, by matching color for color. red to red, yellow to yellow, solid white to solid white, and so on..
my camera battery died so i cant take any pictures of the set up. i've wired alot of hondas, acuras, nissan, and i havent ran into any problems until i got this soarer.
I google how to by pass the parking brake wire and they said its a pulse sensor that it has to dect for the unit to work.

Use a toggle switch for DVD viewing. And read the link posted for wiring.

I installed an AVH-P4200 DVD in my sc. Pretty much the same unit. You won't be able to just ground it to bypass the safety. You can install a toggle switch or wire it through a relay with the remote turn on wire and the wire that is supposed to go to the emergency brake.

I forget what I did to byass that safty feature, but I know it was something to do with grounding or connecting it to another wire. I have no toggle switch or relay or anything added... Works just fine. I dont even watch DVDs in my car while driving or at all anyway lol but still did it anyways
