Rix Posted January 8, 2009 Report Share Posted January 8, 2009 Hello I live in Denmark, and i just bought a Pioneer avic n3 from canada. Does anyone know if it is possible for me to install the european nav. software instead of the american/canadian? and if so how?.. I called Pioneer, and the salesperson said it was region locked and that it was now possible, but imo the seems highly unlikely!? I also asked if they could do it for me, but he denied. Tho i know this is possible somehow! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sackz23 Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Hey. I entered the hidden menu recently on my N3 and saw that there was an option to change the region lock. To Access the menu (taken from another thread thanks to JAvicN2): REMOVE DISK HOLD RESET AND EJECT RELEASE RESET BUT HOLD EJECT SCREEN WILL GO BACK IN AND OUT-THEN SAYS PLEASE PRESS THE RESET BUTTON…DON’T THEN WITH JOY PAD PRESS … UP,RIGHT,UP,RIGHT,DOWN,RIGHT,DOWN,RIGHT…THEN OK (JOYPAD BUTTON INWARDS) PASSWORD SCREEN WILL COME ON SCREEN BREIFLY TEST MODE SCREEN APEARS-CLICK JOYSTICK TO RIGHT ONCE BUTTONS OK = JOYPAD INWARD BACK = JOYPAD TO THE LEFT…NOTE THIS WILL BRING YOU BACK TO PREVIOUS PAGE BACK = BAND BUTTON ….NOTE THIS WILL TAKE YOU BACK TO THE MAIN MENU From here I believe the option was on the last screen number 5 or 6. It will say Region Lock. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
