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?

Yes this is correct... the system is smart enough to know the wire is just shorted.

If the e-brake wire goes to ground after X seconds (10?) of the unit being on, the protection is bypassed?

This fools the system into thinking the car was going and now has the ebrake on...

amthar said:

Or if you see the protection/error message, and then put the e-brake wire to ground, then it lets you through?

Correct... That is what teh circuit does after 10 sec.

Someone just confirm this so I can understand how the proposed workaround address the issue. Thanks all.

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.

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

so its the blue wire(12v output) on the PAC TR-7 for 5-7 second delay, correct? :mrgreen:

I was looking at the 6800 and the Z1, but the 6800 didn't have dual zone capability. That's the only reason I got the Z1 over it. I mean, the navi is cool, but I didn't really need it. I didn't like the idea that I couldn't let my daughter watch a movie in the back seat and listen to radio or CD or whatever in the front.

No

Ok i am going to try and use this method on the z1 theoritically it should work. but when i go to the radio shack site which on exactly do i buy. There is so many different kinds of 50k resistors as well as 100uf capacitors. which one do I get? Also just to be sure but this is a bypass so that i don't have to use that pac switch right.

Another Bypass that works is as follows and requires the use of a standard 5 pole relay. Take the olive wire and hook it up to pole 30, take pole 87 and 85 and hook them up to ground. Take Pole 86 and hook it up to your blue/white remote turn on wire off the back of the deck. You MUST use that wire not a standard acessory wire as the timing is not correct that way.
