Doing the bypass will allow you to use all the functions all the time. Pull the sticker, flip the switch, ground the light green parking brake wire. Done

I did this too. Works perfectly. Pulled the light green parking brake wire, found another ground in the car, and voila! full function Nav (like my Alpline system in the other car). =)

A solution I did was a bit tricky. I wanted to be able to have the functions when I drove, but not when other people drove my car, I wanted them to have to put the parking break on. So I installed a simple switch, that when on grounded the system, providing the funtion, but on the off side of the switch I had two wires, the one from the stereo, and the one to the parking break. This way if the switch was off, you could ground the system by pulling the parking break and work on the system, and if the switch was on, it would always work. The switch is installed in the glove box and I leave it on all the time, except when someone else is going to use my car, then I flip the (somewhat) hidden switch, and then if they want to use the functions that require it, they put the parking break on.

Also this might be good if you get pulled over, flip the switch and if they wanted to test the system they would see you needed the parking break on, and that you "didn't" bypass the system. Hopefully this might help at least one person....

I was attempting to do the N3 bypass. I moved the switch, grounded the light green wire. Went to test the N3 and...nothing. Everything seems secure but I am not getting anything.

Anyone have any siggestions? I am going to the place where I got it installed tomorrow, but would love to save the time and do it myself...although that is how I got into this mess.

Did you plug in the harness and the yellow rgb cable? They both have to be plugged in for the unit to turn on

I just bypassed my system! It was perfect. The switch just slides to the other side. grounded the light green wire on the metal of the car. Plugged her back in and... Perfect! I couldnt be happier!

i wish i didn't find this site.... now that i found a way to bypass the N# i have to go get one. i just got a premier 860 off my boss in jan.

so what's this I hear about despite flipping the switch and grounding the green wire, it will sense the car moving and disable the video anyways? Are yall still runnin' strong with no probs?

For those of you who have the TV tuners, how do they work? Is the reception good? I am about 35 miles outside of the Biggest City and was wondering how the reception would be. Thanks.

Are you willing to sell a switch like this for someone that can't make it, lol.

Believe it or not, the installer at Circuit City did it for me! (Even though he is forbidden to do so on the clock ;) Lets just say he got a NICE tip from me LOL )

he did the grounding and the switch for you? what if i just do the switch, will it work?

let's say i do the switch but don't ground it yet, but it still be working (in the locked position?).

by the way. i just got my unit installed by circuit city. the guys there told me there was no way to bypass it yet. i wonder why they said that. they said if there is a way to bypass they cant do it there , but they can tell the customer how to do it.

Can you guys tell me if there is anyway to watch DVDs while driving without voiding the warranty?

I currently have a AVHP6600 that had to be sent into repairs under warranty because of some problem, and I'm worried if I get the N3 and void the warranty and something happens, they wont fix my N3..

Thanks

Watching DVD's while driving is against federal law and is not discussed here. Bypassing is for getting all navigation functions working.

so how do you get all navigation functions working?

ok my installer originally installed the parking brake lead to a toggle switch so that I didnt have to actually have the brake on, all I had to do was toggle that switch, unfortunately i had to be doing less than 10 mph or whatever to use all funtions.
I read the post in here and I embarked on a journey that I thought would be difficult.
I am useless when It comes to installations.
Let me tell you that it was the easiest thing I have ever done.
under the unit is the little foil sticker, peel it back with your fingernail, slide the switch over with a small flathead, put the shit back together,
that simple, i turned my car back on, and BAMMMMMMMM.
everything worked, I believe however that is because my installer had already grounded the light green lead to a toggle switch.
Your installer should be able to do that for you, unless hes an asshole, in which case maybe its time to visit another installer.
usually they dont wanna touch the inner of the units because people come back when thier unit isnt working complaining that its all their fault.
believe me if i did anyone can.
big matt L.I. ny, and yo....If you need to email me, ill send you step by step pics on how to, hows that?

I just got my hands on 10 vold lables. The one used on the N3 and I think there the same on N2 and N1. Im taking offers. Email me at [email protected].

Email sent. Willing to buy 1 or all 10 :) Let me know.
