I'm selling my AVIC-N2, and I need to test it outside of the car before shipping it.

Can anyone tell me what I need to power it up and make sure that everything works? I'll need to load the latest software disk, too. Also, is there a way to test the bypass to make sure that it is done correctly while the unit is not in a car?

I think all I'd need is a 12v power supply... am I correct? I've never done this before.

Thanks in advance.

should be able to do it with just a 12v supply yes. When i worked in a garage we had a 12v power supply we used to hook units up to.

Thanks.

Any suggestions on testing the bypass outside of the car? I had it bypassed, then pioneer un-bypassed it for me (long story)... and the buyer wants me to bypass it.

I don't know how to make sure the bypass worked, other than by driving around while having a dvd play (which I never did), and I'm not trying to reinstall this thing into my car just to test it out.

Also, can you give me a little help on the wiring with a 12v power supply? I understand there are 3 wires on the radio: accessory, always on, and ground. I'm guessing I just wire the accy and always on to positive, and ground the third wire, right?

Yup, red & yellow to power, black to negative
