Worked for my 7000. Took a couple tries to get that spot just right. Doing everything immediately after starting the ignition did the trick. Whenever I waited before doing the sequence it didn't work.
Official AVIC NEX Bypass (AVIC NEX Units Only)
8000nex video
I had no luck on a nex 4000. I tried it upon initial setup(forces you to pick a language first) unlike in the above video. I also tried it numerous times at startup, not at startup, no luck. I would safely say its a no go on the 4000nex...hopefully the micro bypass will do the trick?
I did power mine up on the bench first to test it, that's why there was no initial setup in the vid.
Doesnt have to be the very first power-on.
Worked perfectly on my 6000

I think the 4000nex can use a bypass since it doesn't have a nav.
I had the 4000nex before upgrading to the avic-8000nex. I used the the Pac-tr7 to do the bypass but you can also used the micro bypass or toggle switch on the parking brake wire.Before i switch units i tried the avic bypass (installereric) and nothing happened. I will post a video of the 4000 and 8000 soon.
Has anyone tried this on a 5000NEX yet? I see every other model but that one.
Mine is the same and don't bother me much to click ok,
So the bypass doesn't work for me...when playing a movie it will prompt anytime over 5mph saying it cant play while in motion. I had a shop do the install so not sure they grounded the parking brake line permanently.
Once again guys.
Guys its important that you report which unit you have when you report whether it works or not..
Worked on my 6000NEX, took several attempts to find the right spot.
Worked perfectly on my 8000NEX. (I have the parking wire permanently grounded as described)
Video of bypass steps.
Worked on my 7000.
Here is a quick video of the steps (might show "set off" instead of "set on" since I had already accomplished - but just did it again).

Worked on my 8000 as well! I also have my parking brake wire permanently grounded.
So is there anyone with an AVH unit that this works for? It appears not.
I can confirm this works on the 6000NEX
Thanks for the info

AVH models you can use the relay method.

This actually does work for me. I had an issue where I had no audio and apparently the guys at the stereo shop disabled. They actually tried to upsell me the bypass for $50 stating they can include the hardware for the bypass. I said thanks but no thanks.
This is for a 7000nex just in case someone tries to jump all over me for not stating my model even though my device is in my signature.
Nex 5000 installed today bypass confirmed and working thanks for the info
​MOD NOTE!!! This will be the official bypass thread for the 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
Thanks a bunch for this trick. It worked perfectly on my 8000. It even cleared that EULA screen when I tried to use the NAVI. My advice to anyone using this device make sure you follow this setup very carefully. If the parking brake bypass isn't working you won't be able to use the NAVI, the Appradio function, the HDMI feature, anything.
this bypass worked on my 7000 but i did recieve the parking brake cable is not hooked up correctly twice over the last week or so. after i hit ok i am still able to do everything while driving has anyone else had this problem?
Make sure the connection where you grounded your parking break is solid. Where did you ground it?
Most likely. Pioneer units have no memory retention if the battery is disconnected.
Not sure if anyone answered this question. Yes the disable still works after disconnecting the battery. I have tried a few times and have resetted the unit a few times. The parking break bypass will still be enabled. Maybe it the battery is disconnected for a extensive amount then maybe.
