sho Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 ROFL, do you mean like what was recommended in the very first post of this thread right, like that's not obvious... I already had gone through and searched for what I was in need of assistance with, and that brought me to this thread... in any case I resolved the issue myself and modded/bypassed the safety crap which restricted me from doing anything while driving, dumb idea in my opinion... if you have a passenger why are they somehow incapable of messing with a navigation system or watching a video simply because the driver cannot? rhetorical question.

VBLUE42 Posted November 22, 2010 Report Share Posted November 22, 2010 This is the case with every aftermarket in dash navi that is sold in the US. If you think about it for just a little second, it actually makes sense why they do this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you think about it for just a little second, it actually makes sense why they do this. And most, if not all, factory units. Same liability issue. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sho Posted November 23, 2010 Report Share Posted November 23, 2010 I think it should be an option... disable front view restriction? yes/no if anyone gets into an accident from being distracted, that's their own fault, they shouldn't be allowed to drive haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

murrten Posted October 1, 2017 Report Share Posted October 1, 2017 Hi, sorry to revive such an old thread but its the only thread I can find which relates to my problem. I just fitted a Pioneer NEX8000 (actually UK version called F60DAB, but its almost identical). Someone above said the greyed out menu items are due to parking brake bypass not being done. Mine is definitely done, but I still have an option greyed out. The "power to antenna" option. Its set to NO, but I can't change it. if i touch it nothing happens. Having just installed the stereo in my Audi A6 (which has a built in DAB antenna), I can't get DAB reception on the head unit whether I use the Audi built in plug, or the glass mount antenna which came with the stereo. Any ideas anyone? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
