Dingo FD Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 Can I use the data cable (brain to head unit) from a N1 set up on a N3 or N4 install? I'm going to upgrade my system but don't want to have to re-wire the truck! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dingo FD Posted July 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Ok, seeing no one has answered me on this one I guess I'm going alone. I just picked up a N4 off EBay. I'll try swapping the head unit and brain using the currently installed wires and let everyone know how it went. Wish me luck!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've seen a lot of units for sale on Ebay but I've seen better prices from some of the sellers at Amazon.com. YMMV regards ~Marc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dingo FD Posted August 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 Ok… So I bought a used N3 on eBay. I went with the N3 due to a better price and it seemed to be an easier unit to bypass. I had a N1 that was bypassed with the parking brake trick only. I wanted to use new software (disks) and didn’t want to get into a solder job! With a simple flick of the magic switch the unit is now bypassed. The N3 and N1 plugs / ports are all compatible with each other, no re-wire needed. Yahooo!!!! The only issue is the auto dimming feature that the N1 had doesn’t seem to work on the N3. Does the N3 have this same feature? I'm also looking for a power plug for a “N†series as the N3 didn’t come with one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, the N3 will dim the display when the surrounding light dims down. regards ~Marc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
