Also Worked On My AVIC N-2,I Grabbed my soldering iron,went and purchased some new electrical solder since i do value my $1500+ Pioneer Unit.Broke down my dash and pulled my unit out my cadilac,unpluged everything,took my unit in the house,un-screwed those tiny four screws on the front someone forgot to mention! slide my unit out the sleeve,found that lil silver sticker,peeled it back and revealed the two diods,put my solder line on the two diods and carefully melted a small bead and worked with it between the two contacts where it eventually settled evenly.and to finish it off,i took my glue gun and dropped a bead of hot glue on top to make sure that for future reference nothing goes anywhere.i nervously put my unit back together.losing that silver sticker somehow,anyway i plugged all my connections back up,put my dash back together,loaded my software dvd again and set everything,took a drive to get something to eat,and pumped my four 12" HX2's and two 15" solobarics driven by my PPI's and began smilling all the way there! no prohibitted screen! Yessss!Then ofcourse i had to check my navigation ,it works perfectlly! Yesssss! It Worked! Thank You! Now its the radio i allways wanted. (except the fact it doesnt play WMA).Not a problem i just converted all my audio that was in WMA to MP3 with a converter off the net.

if there is a will there is a way

Yes, I am a new member but I just tried the bypass and it works perfectly. I have an N-2 that now shows all the menus and nav features on the move. However I did not want to scrape my warranty so I came up with a really cool way of jumping the terminals. I took a small piece of aluminum foil, approx 1/8" x 1/2" and then stuck it to a small piece of packaging tape approx. 1/8" larger in all directions. I then with a pair of tweezers placed the tape and foil combination over the teminals. I then placed a small piece of foam in the hole and replaced the factory foil tape. The foam will keep light presure on the aluminum foil so that a good contact with the terminals is maintained. Wa La. It works great. With this method you can always remove the aluminum foil jumper and return it to stock if a warranty problem ever arises. Hope this helps. Be assured that this mod really does work!!!!!!!!!

another thing, any instructions on how to install this unit of different cars? or should i have someone do this for me, if getting someone to do it for me (a shop) should i do the bypass (jumping the pins) myself using a curcuit pen or have the installer do this?

thanks for everything

So has anyone confirmed that this bypass does void warranty? I just got mine yesterday, and I am debating on doing this or not. The aluminum foil trick sounds interesting though..

acdgotcurb you get mad props!! Aluminum foil with small packing peanut works soooo well!!

The only thing you want to still really be carefull on is removing the silver sticker. Make sure you get that bad boy heated up good, or else it will loose the glue on it. I guess you could always apply more if you had to send the unit in for some reason.

Got mine in today. Looks like the NAV and DVD work, well and I'm not hooked up to the reverse light indicator or VCM (Vehicle control module). Can someone explain to me the advantage of hooking up these two things?

It got to dark to finnish, but I do plan on doing it with a really bad hangover tomorrow!!
