rlknight02 Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 Hey everyone, this is my first post and I have spent lots of time reading about the N series units end enjoy learning about them. I have an N1 headunit and had the N1 brain, yesterday my buddy came over who works at a stereo shop and gave me an N3 brain (2 weeks old) because the previous owner had the headunit stolen and didnt need it anymore. Well I hooked the N3 brain up and everything seems to be working fine so far, but one thing I found kind of odd is that the "band" button on the headunit no longer works to switch from fm1 to fm2 and so on. However, the band button DOES work on my remote... Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated because this is kind of irritating! Thanks!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rlknight02 Posted July 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 And also found out while driving home today that the pause button doesnt work either (When the screen is folded inside the headunit, it is the second button on the left on the front face). I find this really odd. From what I am reading the N1 headunit and N3 brain are fully compatible. Any feedback would be really appreciated. I really dont want to have to go out and try to find a N3 headunit... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rlknight02 Posted July 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2008 OK, and now TODAY the "pause" button, instead of not doing anything, now all of a sudden started acting as the "band" button and switches from fm1, fm2, fm3 and am. The band button still does nothing. I plugged my N1 brain back in, and the pause and band buttons work normally. Unplugged the N1 and re-installed the N3 and still operating abnormally. Does anyone have anything they can help me with? Im sure there are some people with an N1 headunit and an N3 brain. Did this happen to anyone else or will a disc upgrade fix it????

rlknight02 Posted July 25, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2008 And I figured out why when installing an N3 brain onto an N1 headunit that the "band" button no longer works, and to change the "band" options you have to use the "pause" button. I got rid of my N1 unit and got an entirely new N3 system, and the "band" button is in the same place as the "pause" button on this headunit. Kinda confusing, but I got it. SO if anyone out there plans on installing an N3 brain to an N1 headunit, this WILL happen to you, as some buttons are in different places when comparing the N1 headunit to the N3 headunit....

TypeS Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Its too bad you had to go through all that to find this out. If I ever upgrade past a N1, I will get a complete system, N4 or N5.. depending on any advantages of N5. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
