​MOD NOTE!!! This will be the official bypass thread for the AVIC NEX series. Please follow these directions to the letter to achieve the proper bypass.

Did some research on the new NEX 8000. By useing the old pioneer quadrant technology you can bypass the in motion safety shutdown.

Step 1 ground parking brake wire

Step 2 turn power on push main menu button (bottom center)

Step 3 push AV icon (bottom center)

Step 4 on AV icon screen push off button (towards bottom)

Step 5 touch quadrant 4 (half inch in and half inch up from left lower corner of touch screen) hold your finger there for about 10-12 seconds. "set on" icon will appear that means you are done.

Enjoy Safely

Question, do you still need a micro bypass or do you just ground the park brake wire permanently???

Is this a one time procedure or does it have to be done every time the head unit is powered up?

ground parking brake wire permanently. This is a one time procedure

do you have to do steps 3-5 every time you start the vehicle or no? just to clarify.

do you have a video showing this at all

Hey Eric,

Do you have a video showing this by any chance? I am a little confused with the steps and can't seem to get it to work on mine.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

yeah make a video!

we are waiting for someone to make a video and upload it to youtube.

so far i am able to hop on my left leg and tap my head with my right hand. im lost after that.

This worked perfect on my 8000

I tried this and got it on the first try, very easy, I played a DVD for a test and drove it about 12 miles with no problems so far.

It works on my 8000.

Has anyone had success with this on the 7000?

when we unplug the battery will we need to redo this procedure everytime?

This works on my 5000.  

Confirmed!!

when we unplug the battery will we need to redo this procedure everytime?

Most likely. Pioneer units have no memory retention if the battery is disconnected.

Has anyone had success with this on the 7000?

Yes, works!

The bypass works on my AVIC-8000nex!

Mine worked too. Got the Set On popup. Will see if i get the message again. 8000nex. 

Guys its important that you report which unit you have when you report whether it works or not..

Is this expected to work on the 4000nex?

No one will know until it is tried and reported here.

I have the 5000 and I'm not finding the sweet spot for step 5 is it by the arrows point downwards? Any help will be greatly appreciated

did it to my nex8000.

little message popped up.

I didn't ground the parking brake. I just held it long enough to get the EULA and did the bypass and now it's good to go. Hasn't asked me about parking brake either. This is on a 8000nex. Thanks installereric.
