On the power harness is a light green wire..

That is your bypass adapter.. A simple screw.
My understanding is that is not as simple as that. The newer players will not work by simply grounding the wire. It requires a pulse on the wire. In a car this is done by having the parking break on when first turning the ignition on, then releasing the brake. If the brake is off when starting the car it is necessary to first apply the brake then release it giving the player a pulse. This is what the bypass adapters do. When first powered up it generates a pulse on the light green wire.
But I may not need to do anything if the DVD's will play anyways on an external television and be blank on the players screen.
