I bought a truck that had an avic N2.

Turned out the N2 was faulty. I rma'd the unit and brain to pioneer for a flat rate of 200$ repair.

Refurbished unit came back to me, lol, NOT my original.

I was ready to due the bypass, so i removed the warranty void sticker. Underneath, i was expecting to see the r197 - something or other, and was hoping to just drop a little solder between two really close points, and be done with the job real quick.

What i saw (see--> pics) APPEARS??? to possibly be a board from a N3 - see pics and compare + correct my assumptions if they are wrong please.

I was also under the impression that the N3's have a small switch -- just move the switch and ground parking wire - DONE . i am confused what board i actually have here, N2 or N3, because there is no r197(N2), but the layout looks like the N3(but no switch)

check out my pics and let me know your thoughts? Thanks

I found this post here ----> viewtopic.php?f=12&t=9168 <--- this guy seems to have the same issue as me. Can i get verification If this is the correct solder points for my bypass..... really would hate to fry my navigation.

any help would be great.

It seems like there is two points that have [(factory) circuit tracing material] between them - almost connected -, but not quite.

Am i just supposed too finish the connection on both ends??
