I just got off the phone with a Pioneer tech and I described this bypass to him and asked if he had heard of it. His reply " I am going to have to lie, no." So looks like I will be going through with it in the near future. Is there a way to remove the silver tape on the N2 and still being able to replace it? I have silver tape that I can use too. Also does anyone have any pictures of the bypass?

Avic-D1 mod works. I took a wire off another harness from an Alpine head unit. You can use any wire from any harness and you must ground that wire along with the parking break wire. Make sure you connect the speed sensor and reverse light wires.

Naviation looks nice ion my mustang but not as accurate as i would like it to be. The antenna needs to be mounted outside for better reception. The problem is it states you arrived about 50 feet from the location. =(

If yall need install help let me know.

Hope this is OK to make a clean post of this, but alot of people are asking about this and the multi-page threads are not so clear. It contains some updated information from the original rec.audio.car post, as well.

Below are instructions on how to bypass the lockouts on the Pioneer AVIC-N2 and AVIC-D1. It is real simple, and does not require any complex switches or anything. We figure these are service or testing modes, and were not intended to become public. Our Pioneer guy claims to not know anything about it, but who knows, that may just be a line.

This bypass will do three things:

1. Makes all nav functions available while driving (just like they should be)

2. Make video playback available while driving

3. No more parking brake warning box!!!

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.

AVIC-D1 lockout bypass: Find an extra Pioneer wire harness, and pull one of the wires out. Or, if you do not use the A.ANT lead, pull that out of the harness. In the AVIC-D1 harness, there is one open spot on the connector (next to the ground wire). Put the wire into the open spot on the connector, connect the other side to ground, then re-connect the plug to the AVIC-D1. Also, you must ground the Parking Brake wire (or connect to a toggle switch if you feel the need).

Thats it, all there is to it, and all the lockouts are bypassed. Easy, give it a try.

jsut a quick question. what is teh easies way to ger the "sapre wire" out of the harness, i tried, but i dont want to damage it!!

cheers!

If the streets in map are small purple, you don't get turn by turn and just a general "you have arrived at your destination" message.

Also the accuracy gets better as time goes on.

sorry guys this might be a stupid question that is probably have asked by some ppl many times . i just a got a d1 installed in my audi... the unit is amazing and i did the bypass and it worked it unlocked on the navi features but my real quesiton is will the internal dvd rom drive could play dvds or not... or i have to hook up seperate dvd player no matter what. and if it will how can i make it happen . because the part that i am confused from this thread is ppl say it has worked like a charm and ... so with bypass they can watch dvd with internal dvd rom too... or external is required HOW come i can't .

thanks

No, D1 is dvd-rom only. To watch dvd videos you will need a seperate dvd player.

No, but you can overlay navigation arrows on the bottom right corner of your screen. At least then you know how long til the next turn

so to those who have the n1 and upgraded to the n2 discs... did you guys notice anything different other than the obvious lock out such as different displays, different graphics, added graphics, new menus or more acurate maps? And are these discs N2 discs that come with the unit or are they specific n1 upgrade discs? Thanks for any input.

Yes the N2 bypass does work! I have a newer unit (purchased on 9-12-2005) opened up the N2 (removed the silver sticker) and found two very small solder dots, joined them, grounded the parking break wire and all works excellent. Still get the startup message otherwise all works as promised/hoped. And yes...I know I am a newbie but I promise I do not belong to the Pioneer Sabatage Team! :)
