So I'm debating between an AVIC Z1 and a DDX8017

I know how to wire up the kenwood, but with the AVIC z1, what do you do with it to fool it into thinking you're stopped so that half of the functions aren't taken away while driving?

 

hmm... someone told me that he just flicks his headlights on and than off... something about sending a pulse to the unit.
(this is for the Z1)

 

hook up a bypass switch, theres a wire that is supposed to get connected to your ebrake insteead of hookin it up there connect it to a toggle switch and run it somewhere like in your glovebox or someting so that when u wanna watch a movie while drivin all u gotta do is flick the switch i had it done on my last car

 

This applies to every other unit out there EXCEPT for the Z1. All you need to do is flick your lights within the 1st five seconds of start up and all features should work.

Go to www.avic411.com for more in depth info.

 

well.. to clarify.. it applies to units that have come out after the n1.

so the d1, d2, n2, n3, z1.. etc.. yeah... the safety feature is built into the software.

but googling works wonders to learn how to bypass stuff.

 

Hows the video quality using the bypass for the Z1. Debating between that unit and 5435 but was wondering how movies would look using the bypass.

 

.... uh.. movies would look the same as if when it isn't bypassed and used legally...

what are you talking about?

screen quality you mean? imo, the z1 better

 

awesome info - i want to sell my d1 but i'm sure no one here wants to pay 900 for it

 

Yeah the screen quality is what I mean.
