What would be the outcome to just ground the green parking brake wire? Would you at least be able to view video at stop lights, ect...?

not without flipping the switch on the bottom of the radio, under the little silver sticker. and voiding your warranty. but everyones doing it.

yea, it's the cool thing to do. unless you like your warranty... :lol:

I have 2 :?: 1. Does the n3 have a switch in the spot that the n2 has to be soldiered? If so, aint that a beeeoch for us n2 owners.
2. Is there any where in the manuals or on the radio that says "lifting,peeling,removing this silver sticker will void the warranty? If Pioneer does not tell you not to do this how can it void the warranty if you dont do anything under the sticker? :?

Yea, there's just a switch, but there's the words void underneath the sticker. Pioneer doesn't mention ANYWHERE in any manual about it, but I e-mailed them about it and they said in fact removing that sticker will void the warranty.

You guys are missing something here...
If you use a blow dryer on HOT and patients, you can peel back the sticker without leaving the VOID behind and flip the switch or soldier the two points and lay the sticker back down as if nothing ever happened. I did it on my N2.

Use a razor blade to get under the corner and a set of tweesers to SLOWLY peel back while giving the sticker tons of hot air.

How do you take the unit out of the dash?!?

Never mind, I got it! Flipped the switch, grounded the light green wire, and BOOM! In motion video!

:evil: Damn you n3 owners and your switches :P :roll:

why damn the n3 owners? n1 and n2 owners can all benefit (even though who upgraded to newest software).

I am joking :roll: I am talking about the fact that all they have to do is flip a switch while the n2 owners have to do the evil solder. :shock:

sorry guys, i'm new at this, could someone tell me how to make my N3 play while i'm driving? i'm having it installed on saturday and they said they won't do it for me and they won't accept "extra gratuities" for mysteriously making it happen. i'd appreciate any help you guys can give me. thanks.

I did the bypass and everything seemed to work fine, the only thing is when the car reaches 5 mph, the bypass doesn't work anymore. Any suggestions?

Bypass isn't done right.

yeah the bypass definitely isnt done right. If it was then the bypass would work at any speed.

Suggestions?

Flip the switch.

Ground the light green parking brake wire.

Make sure thats done and the bypass will work.

If it doesn't reset the unit and then try again.

If it STILL doesn't then you're doing something wrong, plain and simple.

how do we ground the parking brake wire? Do we just connect that red cap to another wire thats grounded in the fusebox or something?

I have the same problem with mine N3. I have the green cable ground. I reset the unit. However, when I pass 10mph, I get the message that video cannot be display while driving (something like that). Any suggestions.
