there is a silver sticker on the top of the N2. peel it off and the should be access to the circuit board. on the board there should be 2 solder points. using a small gauge wire solder the 2 points together being careful you don't get solder anywhere else on the board. that should do it.

I haven't done this myself but I've been researching this for a while. I've seen all the other ways to bypass like using relays to interrupt the gyro and speed sense wire. as with any mod like this your warranty will be void. also please use common sense when driving and watching videos. it's not worth your life or someone elses just because of a movie.

Don't go soldering or cutting anything - this came to light a few months ago. Please read this thread for a very easy fix.

he meant the N2, not the D1..
and my question is..
is there a way to bypass the N1 upgraded to N2?
and no, the regular n2 unit bypass doesn't work with n1->n2 units.
n1-n2 units doesnt have solder points under the unit.

Ok, a little searching and here is the process for both units

Below are instructions on how to bypass the lockouts on the Pioneer AVIC-N2 and AVIC-D1. It is real simple, and does not require any complex switches or anything. We figure these are service or testing modes, and were not intended to become public. Our Pioneer guy claims to not know anything about it, but who knows, that may just be a line.

This bypass will do three things:
1. Makes all nav functions available while driving (just like they should be)
2. Make video playback available while driving
3. No more parking brake warning box!!!


AVIC-N2 lockout bypass: Underneath the MAIN unit (not the hideaway) is a small silver sticker, peel this back. There are two contacts with the label "R197". Drop a bit of solder between these to connect them. Also, you must ground the Parking Brake wire.


AVIC-D1 lockout bypass: Find an extra Pioneer wire harness, and pull one of the wires out. Or, if you do not use the A.ANT lead, pull that out of the harness. In the AVIC-D1 harness, there is one open spot on the connector (next to the ground wire). Put the wire into the open spot on the connector, connect the other side to ground, then re-connect the plug to the AVIC-D1. Also, you must ground the Parking Brake wire (or connect to a toggle switch if you feel the need).


Thats it, all there is to it, and all the lockouts are bypassed. Easy, give it a try.

Oh and BTW I am not responsible if you F**K your **** up.
