This is the first time I have ever posted anything in a forum. I waited awhile to decide whther or not to do the r-197 pin mod because I wanted to see if something else was discovered. I finally gave in despite those "pioneer sabatoge team" posts. We followed the directions by removing the silver sticker from the bottom, using an alcohol pen from radio shack and a Q-Tip to remove the wax. Then we used the curcuit writer to connect the pins. Everything works great. No problem. We took the silver sticker off with a razor and applied it to a wax paper for reuse. If anything goes wrong I think I should be able to use the alcohol pen to "erase" the bridge and apply wax then reuse the sticker. That way I still have my warranty. Here are the links for the products that I used. I am in no way an expert in soldering or electronics but I did this with no problem at all.

Does anybody know how to do the Tri-Zone capability of the AVIC-N2? I thought that the NAVI can be on the main screen, while dvd is on the external screens, and listen to the radio all at the same time.

I just purchased one of these and it had a red sticker dot about the size of a penny on the box. I asked the installer if he knew about the bypass by soldering the two r-197 pins. he did and he told me the red dot sticker on the box meant it was a newer version and could not be bypassed like that. is this true? anyone know what the sticker means?

The installer is an idiot. Hope you didn't let him install your unit. The sticker only indicates what version of software it was shipped with.

thanks for the quick reply. it hasnt been installed yet.i was going to install it myself but because of the price of the unit i wanted to make sure the warranty will be good by having a pioneer dealer install it. When i do the mod i will do it with the circuit writer to connect the pins.I will take the silver sticker off with a razor. If anything goes wrong I think I should be able to use the alcohol pen to "erase" the bridge and apply wax then reuse the sticker. That way I still have my warranty. as per jester10305.

Question about AVIC-N2. I did the BYPASS on my Unit and it works prefect. My question is: I'm running software VERSION 1.1 if I upgrade my AVIC-N2 to software version 1.2 will the BYPASS still work? Please let me know.

as stated here for the AVIC-N2 lockout bypass: Underneath the MAIN unit (not the hideaway) is a small silver sticker, peel this back. There are two contacts with the label "R197". Drop a bit of solder between these to connect them. Also, you must ground the Parking Brake wire.

my installer told me you dont ground the brake wire anymore that was for the N1. he said it needs resistance.

so do you ground or do you add resistance to the wire?

I have the AVIC-N2. How do I get the software version 1.2 and what are the updates? I have version 1.1. Is it worth upgrading? I hope it does not interfere with my bypass.
