SOLVED IN DESCRIPTION - Problem deleting a bluetooth connection on @Pioneer AVH-521EX car stereo

C'mon, Pioneer...need your help. I've followed all instructions and I still can't delete an uneeded Bluetooth connection. In the video, I show the instruction booklet and walk through the steps to no avail. Any suggestions? Leave it in the comments.
SOLUTION - Literally the day that I uploaded this vid, I found that the solution was to engage my parking brake. As soon as I do that, the option to edit the Bluetooth connections becomes available...

    Thanks, got this stereo from sons truck after he totaled (he’s fine) but memory was full, found your video…….CORRECT grounded light green wire and now all menus show up, leaving it grounded permanently 3 days in no issues have had other similar head units that needed the brake wire grounded to play movies as well

    I had the same problem with a different pioneer soundsystem, but then i remembered that dvds can only be played while the e-brake is locked in. So i thought "what if blutooth settings is brake locked" and it was. I hit the e-brake, and the blutooth setting turned white. Then i clicked it, clicked connections and found all 3 devices that are registered and pressed trash accordingly

    Bipass your ebrake. Wire the long green wire directly to a screw on the back of the deck. You just need to ground it. Or hook it up to your ebrake but then you cant use those functions unless your in park and ebrake is set.
