I went to Best Buy yesterday and was told that if the AVIC N1 was updated w/ the new navi update disc, then the video would be shut off just like the N2.  On that note, the video shut off seemed to be embedded in the software also.  I was then suggested that if an N2 could be "updated" with the N1 nav disc, then perhaps it would revert to N1 operation.  Just an FYI.

I dont believe the n2 will allow its software to be overwritten with the older version, but I am simply guessing here.

Well. Others have said before that an N1 that has been updated with the new disc would have to go back to Pioneer to revert back to the v1.2 so I highly doubt that an N2 would be able to be programmed with N1 software.  Maybe it's possible if you get Pioneer to clear out the OS completety and have the N1 software installed.  But why in the hell would you purchase an N2 and want N1 software?  You're probably gonna spend close to 2K if you purchase from an authorized dealer when you can spend only 1.5K for an N1 from an authorized dealer.

Like Cali said, an N2 with N1 software, would essentialy be an N1.

get the n1. the n2 does not add anything that is cool, it is more expensive, and you cannot watch video while driving. You can't change the software in the N2 because pioneer removed the ability for the unit to import data from the disc. The N1 however, has a raw data import function that can be used to upload hacked navagation disc data.   the old saying goes, newer is not always better.

The N2 is the same price as the N1.

just so yall know its easy to bypass the gyro (done it like 10 times in the past month- i didnt even have to go into the unit and screw anything up) am i doing something wrong - YES, do i care - no morals so NO- will i tell how to do it if your lucky but not on here- anyways as to the question about software- NOT UNLESS YOU ERASE THE N2 SOFTWARE FIRST!! waste of time though- i talk to my pioneer rep and he said just buy an N1 which are hard to find in some areas but ar going for liek 1500 now N2 2000- N2 features are a little better IF- you subscribe to XM 'nav traffic', and its a little better sounding and better looking displays when set up right- anyways thats my input on thisAvic n2 -- posted image.
