I have a quick question: If I install a N2 into my tC would I have to remove the door?

I saw a tC on the pioneer site (http://www.pioneer-itknows.com/yourcarn2.asp) that has it installed but i'm not sure if the door is still there.
Thanks

 

i have the n1 and yes... i ripped out the door.. it'll fit really weird if you don't

 

Did you put it at the bottom of the 2din? or the top part?

 

at the bottom, but i'm planning on putting it at the top and having it either flush mount, or kinda how 5axis mounted their n1 having a storage compartment on the bottom half.

 

So even if I put it in the bottom part, the door would still be in the screen's way?

 

its a double din! Why in the world who u buy a single din? I don't get that people :-(

 

I have the D1, but I'm getting the N2 cause it has more features.

 

isnt the dvd function the only extra feature?

 

The N2 also has custom backgrounds, Tri-Zone audio/video and Voice Command.

 

ill buy your d1

 

does the n2 disable dvd playback when the parking brake is down?

 

Yes... They all do, but as far as I can see, they can all be overridden with certain tweaks.

 

ask me how to override.
heh

 

hows the tv tuner anyway? does it get a clear signal or is it very hazy or cloudy most of the time. its an UHF based antenna right?

 

I always thought it did fit.....why not just push it in a little deeper....or is it too "tall"?

 

just wait a couple more months when pioneer's newer line comes out.

supposedly the avic-d2 will have a few more features

 

do remember the D1 and N2's safety features are built into the software and i have yet to see anyone bypass it. (though... the only thing i've heard that works is plugging an external dvd player into the rear input..) as far as operating navi? still no.

 

There is a way to bypass it... it involves soldiering a connection on the unit...

I'm waiting for their next line to see how it looks.... the D1 is lame cause it doesn't play DVDs

 

i've heard of this "soldering" technique, but it isn't a simple mod to do without any effects. you tell me if you have solid proof of it working (without any side effects), because i'm interested in it as well. i need to see pics or something, cause doing such a mod requires some *****...

i did hear one side effect is the fact that the unit itself doesn't think you're moving (esp. if you're not connecting the VSS wire as well...) well... that's about what you have to do to have video, right?

 

I've been doing research for bypassing the N2.
I can't really find a successful way of doing it. How does the soldering way work?
