I have pushed both ends in as far they go....I just ordered one of the cables direct from Pioneer...that will tell me the answer.

Ok, long story short, the system was running fine. I needed the cd changer cable for a different vehicle, because the other vehicle's cable went bad. So, I ordered a new cable off of ebay. Of course, I didn't closely inspect it and went to install it. First thing I found was that the ends do not have the click-in lock mechanism. Then, I found that both ends were black instead of one being black and one blue, but the pinning all looked correct. Then, when I went to plug the power plug in, the fuse blew...several times...and then I figured out that the electrical plug pinning was reversed.

Try reseting the 3d calibration...

Reset the 3d calibration info...

So it is working now? If so, the bill is in the mail

Reset your data...I don't have access to a n2/n3 right now, but if you go into the nav settings, you can reset the calibration info. Do that and see if it fixes it. I have seen the problem quite often, especially when someone buys a unit that was installed in a different car previously...I have seen it actually have the car driving backwards, not due to the position of the brain, but due to the brain having learned the signals from the other car.

I am having a big problem being able to see the screen of my N2 with the top down. I have tried adjusting the brightness, which has not helped. The light just seems to bleach all the colors from the screen. Anyone have a fix?

With all the people on 3si.org...there are plenty of owners

Just a heads up, on the spyder...well actually all manual 3000gt's, you really can only tap the reverse wire at the taillights. I know, I installed a AVIC N3 in a 1995 vr-4 spyder. Fun Fun....

Did you try the unit before doing the bypass?

No, I sent Pioneer my unit and they did the fix for free.

Thanks!

I can't seem to find the brightness controls to control how bright the screen is. I have the illumination wire hooked up, and the nav dims at night when the lights are turned on, but during the day, I have probs seeing the radio/cd screen because of the darkness. I have looked through all the settings and can't seem to find it. Thanks.

Ok, per my previous post, I have determined since installing an N2 in my mother's car, it is draining the battery at a very fast rate (over night or within a day and a half). The battery is only several months old and is a Odyssey deep cycle, so it is a high end battery. Moreover, the N2 was in my father's truck and he had the same problem of battery drain, although we believed it to be from a different source (He got an N3 and we swapped it out, and he hasn't had probs with the N3). Thus I am looking for suggestions of where to look for such a huge drain. I won't be able to check the car unt
