sonnieeeeboi Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 since you guys already have the unit installed, try the procedure that ducati has stated in his other threads and if that doesn't work, then ground the wire like previous generation AVH units. This is only reason why i'm holding back in purchasing the AVH-P6800DVD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikecramer43026 Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 Here is a ciucuit I used... Works well for my 6800. [img]http://www.mikecramer.com/images/ebay/Drawing1.jpg[/img] This starts the circuit to the ebrake out at ground then over 10s raises it to 12v making the system thing you applied the ebrake 10 seconds after you started the car. You will still get the warning message, but no limitations! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sonnieeeeboi Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 ^^--- nice mike! by any chance can you tell me how to build one of those? What parts did you use? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mextel Posted July 27, 2006 Report Share Posted July 27, 2006 Well on my 6800 I just used a bypass switch. So when it gives the "prohibited" message I just hit the switch i'm ready to go. btw anyone figure out any other hacks yet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mikecramer43026 Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 If you take it to radio shack they can set you up with the 100uF capacitor and 50K ohm resistor. You just have to make sure to install the capacitor in with the + lead connected to the +12v Accessory line. This mod acts like the bypass switch just automatically toggles the switch 10 seconds after the ignition is turned on. The ignition must be off for 10 seconds for this circuit to reset... so when you are testing it, dont just turn the carr off then on real quick. If you do then the circuit will not reset and toggle the input. Leav the car off for about 10-15 seconds to give the cap time to fully discharge. Not a problem during normal use... This circuit has worked on several of my friends sony DVD systems, but I have been told it did not work on the kenwood systems. May need to increase the resistor value for kenwoods. PS: Next time I do this mod I will photograph it and post the pics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
amthar Posted August 2, 2006 Report Share Posted August 2, 2006 Can someone explain the logic behind the moving video protection on the 6800? So if the unit is grounded when the car is started (and the unit gets power), it gives the error and does not allow video, correct? If the e-brake wire goes to ground after X seconds (10?) of the unit being on, the protection is bypassed? Or if you see the protection/error message, and then put the e-brake wire to ground, then it lets you through? Someone just confirm this so I can understand how the proposed workaround address the issue. Thanks all. - Josh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sonnieeeeboi Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 can someone post the way to do it without a switch? I would like to have it done automatically. please Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sonnieeeeboi Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 so, basically, i take the olive looking hand brake wire and connect a 100uF cap to it(negative side) and connect the positive side of the cap to an 12v ACC source? What about the resister? Do i just have it connecting to the olive wire too and just ground that?

mikecramer43026 Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 You attach one end of the 100uF cap to the +12v ACC line and the other end to the olive wire... then the resistor goes from ground to the connection between the cap and olive wire (3 connections here).

amthar Posted August 7, 2006 Report Share Posted August 7, 2006 excellent! Thanks for the reply. I purchased the PAC TR7 expecting this to be the answer, so this will work great. It can be programmed to output 12v after X seconds (where X is programmable), so this eliminates the need for a switch, and for me to do any sort of circuitry. Thanks all.

sonnieeeeboi Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 hey, can you tell me how you did it with the capacitor and the resistor? I don't want to go but the PAC TR7 because its like 30dollars vs couple cents. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
