my friend told me he got his N3 to work as touch screen for windows by tapping into the brain controls for the touch screen. In theroy it seems possible yet i have no clue how he did it..

has anyone done this with the avic N3 before?

I asked him for proof but hes a busy man so i dont know if hes pulling my leg. He is smart though....

i guess if he hooked up the remote wire or antenna wire it could "control" the windows. as far as taping onto the touch screen i dont think thats very possible.

im not talknig about tapping into external wires... im talking about taking apart the unit and taping into the trace lines on the circuit for the screen itself....

hmmm the touch screen wont have "wires" it will have a ribbon cable

if your friend interfaced the ribbon cable on his touch screen to "control" anything then we need him on board here at Avic411.com

so if the above is correct i would love to get pictures or at least a description of the hack that he did. thanks!

holy crap do you mean windows like computer lololol i think i just realized that

if thats the case then sure you can simply buy a touch screen film that goes over your already touch screen film and it will have a usb interface to plug into a car pc...

god im confused but full of knowledge

Yeah there is a way to use the touch screen like a MOUSE input! look there are extra connectors on the back of your units!! how do you think they test it? Plug it in and use it!!

It's possable in a way, got to be smart!

lol

Extra connectors? I call bullshit on this one

Extra connectors? I call bullshit on this one

yeah i call bullshit on that too.. if they had it already easily wired it would have been an additional feature of the unit....

not to mention you need advanced touchscreen drivers....

and on the touch film? where do you buy a usb 6.5" touchscreen film?

the "ease" of that is lost on me

my friend tapped into the existing unit... modifying the brain only as he said in the unit would involve a lot more work.. so i know he didnt add a usb touch film of any sort

I have not personsly tryed this, call bullshit if you will.

1. You can get small touch screen film no problem! I sell screen with it all the time.

2. There are connectors on the back the WILL allow acess to the screen portion of the unit! Pioneer uses it for testing and calibration of the unit. Before it leaves.

3. I have seen this done! No Idea how exactly, but you can bet your bottom dollar no one, I repeat no one can tap in to a ribbon cable for the monitor, and still have it hold up! Ribbon cables flex, solder and hard wire don't!

Its not bullshit, figure it out! Its ppaable!

I never said he tapped into the ribbon cable... the ribbon is on the head unit.. i said the brain unit.

Im curious about this film option though. could you show me a link to it?

I didnt call bullshit on the film... i called it on the tap into the vss and reverse wire. makes no sense at all

I'd love to see all possible options.

If pioneer released the unit with this feature they would outsell clarion and alpine nav units no problem.. seems stupid to not have it.

even 300$ ebay no name junk have it. har har

wow del i didnt want to start a flame thread but i replied to the topic with as much competence as i could with what little information you provided.

lets start over kool?

i dont see how you could use the touchscreen to control a pc with the avics touchscreen and still have control of the avic. i have an n3 at the house in pieces and i can tell you it would not be fun to "tap" onto the ribbon cable. as a previous post mentioned above i dont see how you could get drivers as the touchscreens usually are usb controlled.

as far as a 6.5 film it would most likely have to be custom but all manufacturers of touchscreen film offer and size you need im sure it would be costly. after my first post i browsed some sites and found a 7 inch for 40 bucks! maybe it doesnt include everthing you need but its a start

so im dont with this thread hopefully some computer tech can help us all out with some knowledge on drivers and things like that

peace del

No there isn't. The calibration is done through the service menu

yeah ive already laughed at most of the jibba jabba this guy says...

i assumed a hack/mods forum had people who hack and mod... not people who do bypasses in thier driveway.

i wont bother asking serious questions anymore

Question, if your friend did that why not ask him how it was done? Then when he tells you let everyone here know.

You need a dvi input to control ur computer via touch screen

lolol i love this thread i just cant stay away.

1st and foremost del's attitude quickly points out his character. if you really think that your buddy did something really impressive with his avic then by all means post away but please dont bite our heads off cuz we cant guess what he did or even how he did it.

you try to belittle all the amatuers here for trying to help you out? f u dude

im no amatuer but im not claiming to be the smartest guy here. ive explained to you a couple ways i think this ispossible and other people have tried too only to have you jibba jabba your frustration back at us.

so go look in a mirror and ask yourself the question you asked us and maybe you can give yourself the answer your looking for

it started as a simple question.

instead this post has turned into a flame.

if my friend was available id ask him. unfortunatley hes busy and the only quick ancwers i had out of him are that he bridged into spots on the brain. i confirmed that he didnt touch the head unit.

thats as far as i got. I assumed since he figured it out in a weekend that someone would have had it down to a T on here...

instead I get bull about things that can be done and cant be done and guess work that's out to lunch...

But ok, try to "label" me with the rest of you if you will. Profanity gets you where? Thanks

profanity gets me everywhere you dumb fuck. here you go again with bullshit, you got me on your back calling you out on everything say. shoulda just bowed out. lets have some fun though

i guess if he hooked up the remote wire or antenna wire it could "control" the windows. as far as taping onto the touch screen i dont think thats very possible.

haha..I think this started drama

isnt that awesome!! lol ive been doing alot of work with window mods and sunroof closes and actuator controls so when i saw windows i was like!

"im a douche and can type stuff about this!"

and what followed will go down as proof that during idle time my mind isnt always in the game

sorry del no hard feelings but i do think you could have at least wrote xp or vista or pc instead of windows

peace

Wow yeah maybe should have said windows on pc, but do you think you got to be a dick about it?

Calling him names?

(not you hotwire, I did the same at first! Thought he was talking about car windows! Lol we can figure out who this is too!)

Your a child! Grow up! This forum is for asking questions, and getting answers! Although freadom of speach is something we have, you don't allways have to exercise the right, and blow someone up.

Try using mannors! Someday your gona call the wrong person something they don't like and your gona get a beat down!

You can say what you want to me! I could care! But if you were anywher close, ide invite you over so you could say these things in person (western ma! Come on over!) Insted of hiding behind a user name, in CA!

Insted, if you can't help, try not posting?

I'm not trying to start a fright, just sick to death of little punks who run there mouth, Leach of others, and don't give a fucck about the next person! You sound like my little sister! And I don't think your trying to!

Are you!

Now I expect for you to call me every name in the book, and try to make me look dumb! Go for it! Try your best!

I'm a bitch, a douch, clowen, oh a fag, what ever!

To the person who wrote this post, if your intrested in using the avic with a computer, pm me! We can work on it.

Sorry to jump on your thred and yell! Just sick of kids! Who realy don't help!

i think youre ok in my book 94exp, but you need to brush up on your spelling and vocabulary there bud

94explorer your ok from the few post i seen. But you do lack the understanding and experience. Had you taken the time to read other threads you posted in you probably would understand the post made, but whatever.

OH and

Someday your gona call the wrong person something they don't like and your gona get a beat down!

 

..... But if you were anywher close, ide invite you over so you could say these things in person ..........

but then you say

I'm not trying to start a fright, just sick to death of little punks who run there mouth, Leach of others, and don't give a fucck about the next person

your funny! Of course your trying to start a fight. But I am with you on the sick to death part of some punks who run their mouth with sub 50 posts trying to make a name for themselves. If you got something valid to contribute, great, but calling out someone else when they have so few posts its clearly to stir things up.

Since you could not understand I will explain the post above. It was a spill over from another thread to further reveal the thread starters incompetence and lack of knowledge toward the subject.

p.s. great way to show me you dont care by trying to start a fight and calling names.. oh and posting a long reply. Ok back to the little kid bickering if you want.

bravo tillithz! And if you need ANYONE beat down on the east coast, just say the word Ask cntrylvr, im no little guy heh

you know its all about you PaisanNYC

I hope thats not sarcasm! LOL
