I have completed the bypass and it works like a charm.....For anyone who will be using solder to complete the bypass be careful first of all. Second you need to clean the points and area between because there is a protective wax on the board. Also in order to not get the black screen you need to make sure that when you do solder the points together that the solder is not touching the metal piece close by on the end of the board. If it is touching it will ground out the pins and you will not complete the circuit. If you do it correctly and the solder is not touching the metal and only touching the 2 pins you have a working unit.

i been here for years but i never posted nothing had another account but lost the pasword and the email i was using was paid and canceled. anyway my fist posts ,i had an n2 and i did this modification long time ago when the instructions first came out in the newsgroups ,worked fine but my radio failed from the mecanism wont open or close , so i had to returned for warranty ,what i did , i reverted the mod ,desolder the jumper ,get wax from another radio put it in place

,clean the solder and i found a look alike sticker from another radio and remove d it with aheat gun. i sent it for service and it returned back flawless no problems so i did the mod again and its working like a charm. so think that you might need warranty for a non mod related issue in the future and make a clean job so you can revert it anytime if you can take the sticker with a heat gun and save it just in case. after i reverted the mod , i really coulnt tell it was modded. hope it helps.

Hello all,

I just wanted to say that the instructions on how to bypass the lock feature of the N2 works wonderfully. I just bought might on 11/22/2005 and i dropped a piece of solder on two the two connections and grounded the light green wire and it works. DO BELIEVE THE POST THAT SAYS IT DOESN'T WORK.

I just did the bypass and it works perfectly except for one thing, my rear camera no longer works. I read the DVD is piped through the rear camera which allows it to play while driving. I was just wondering if there is anyway I can have the bypass work, and my rear camera. If all else fails I was thinking about putting my rear camera in my AUX IN, but I would like it to be available when I put my truck in reverse or easily access from the NAV menu when driving. If anyone has the same problem or an idea to solve my problem, please share. thanks

Did you check in the menu(i think its in initial or setup) to make sure the camera input is turned on? Maybe it defaulted to 'off' when you pulled it out of the car to do the bypass. Then you should just run the camera through the camera input and put the dvd in the N2 and switch the source to dvd. You should have both with no problems

Ok I have recieved quite a few e-mails from people wanting better instructions on how to complete this bypass for the AVIC-N2. Well here they are with some solutions for problems that you may run into:

Ok first what you need to do is remove the in-dash unit from the car and take it to a table where you can work out it. Flip the unit over and you will see a small silver sticker. This sticker will need to be peeled back. Under the sticker is the circuit board in which all you will see is the green board and two small silver pins.

Take some rubbing alcohol on a small cloth and push it gently in there and clean the protective wax off of the pins.

Next take some solder....I used 16 guage solder.....and a soldering iron. A ball of solder will need to be dropped in between the two pins to connect them together. If it is done incorrectly you will either have a black screen or you still won't have the ability to watch dvds or use gps while driving.

1. Problem: You can't see watch dvds or use gps while driving

- Answer: the protective wax hasn't been completely removed or the solder is not touching both pins. (Important: make sure to use high quality solder)

2. Problem: You turn on the unit but only see a black screen.

- When the solder was put onto the board between the pins it is touching the metal plate near by at the end of the board. The circuit is not being completed and it is grounding out on the metal. (Important: make sure the solder is not touching the metal plate near the end of the board)

If you need anything else let me know.

Thanks,

Rick

I tried the solder method and used a piece of wire, but when I went to clip it, the stupid cutters didnt clip the wire cleanly and the wire got pulled which took the solder points with it, the radio still works but the 197 pins are now below the level of the board. Has anyone else had this problem, and has anyone figured a way to fix it???

Yes......Well first of all, you should have experience soldering if you are going to do it, and I'm not trying to make fun of you but this is exactly why. You didn't solder the points in the correct way, there should have been no reason to cut the wire. You should just drip a small ball, (keyword being "drip") between the points.

If you do it correctly you can heat up the solder enough to make it fall down into the recessed areas where the pins were. It will still complete the circuit without the pins being there as long as you heat it up enough to get it down in the holes.

Any questions p_gcustomerservice@yahoo.com

Ok, well thanks for not even attempting to answer my question. I actually have plenty of experience soldering, but the way i did it was to bridge the 2 points using small gauge copper wire, but when I went to cut off the excess, the wire got pulled and took the 2 points with it, leaving me with two recessed holes in the board, all functions well, but is there a way to remedy this or not??
