I know this isn't anything new but I wanted to be able to upgrade to N3 discs without having to use a modified version to get the navi/dvd to work while car was in motion.

A bit skeptical at first, but I found someone on ebay who sells auctions for various fixes and services for Pioneer headunits. It took about 2 weeks to send and get back but he successfully soldered my unit so that it now plays dvds with the n3 software. And I no longer get that stupid parking brake error message I once got. For a small fee of $75, I think it was well worth it.

yea, well i realize that and that's why i said it's nothing new but i frankly dont have the time to take apart my n1 and experiment. and to me, $75 is nothing for a peace of mind... why chance it on a piece of hardware that costs over a grand?
