[bloodstaindpyro]

mmm, very nice pickup for $500... we sell those at Circuit City, and even with my discount, I'd still be paying close to $1500!! *thumbs up*

 

[$lick Rick]

i always get great deals on audio equipment..... i didnt pay a thing for those soundstream amp or subs

but i'm still shocked i got this for $500.... and very very happy

[that VERBAL]

found this on www.the12volt.com

note: I DID NOT WRITE THIS

this is how u set up the parking break (you need a relay)
86, and 30 go to a fused 12 volt source
87 goes to the AVIC brake wire
87a gets grounded
85 goes to your toggle switch (which grounds)

now the gps antenna, and vss wire (3 relays needed)
cut your antenna wire (should be 2 wires)
cut the vss wire

relay 1 & 2 (bypasses gps antenna)
86 gets fused 12 volts
87a goes to antenna wire (antenna side)
87 goes to antenna wire (AVIC side)
NOTE: each relay gets its own side of the antenna wire
85 goes to the same toggle switch AND 85 on relay 3
30 is not connected

relay 3 (bypasses vss)
86 gets fused 12 volts
87a goes to vss wire (car side)
87 goes to vss wire (avic side)
85 is connected from relays 1 and 2's 85
30 is not used

I can't beleive that came off of 12volt.com
That is the first no no of gps installation. NEVER CUT THE ANTENNA WIRE
no matter how good you are with a soldering iron you will lose signal and get poor tracking.

Seems like a shitty trade off to watch movies while driving.
I would leave it alone and deal

 

[mercuryrising]

the GPS antenna is coaxiel, isnt it?

I personall wouldnt do it, just posted it for the info IF someone wanted to try.


theres another out that has you 'dripping solder' onto 2 connections on the circuit board.........I dont suggest that one either....at all..


only real way is the reverse cam.

people talking about no sound that way, on the N2, can you select a different BG image when you have audio playing? I have the 5700DVD, but did the simple ground switch...on that it allows tou to have like the AUX video coming in as a background, with lke other sound....so what I'm trying to say is...use audio in for audio and cam in for video...?

BUTT this thread wasnt about bypassing, so I'll stop there.

the N2 is a good unit....youll enjoy it.

 

[$lick Rick]

by all means... keep up the bypass discussion

and i wont be putting it in my gsr tomorrow.... my gf is going to the coast and i'm insisting she take my car
so.... yeah... i still have my eye open for my next ride... i just dont know what i want

 

[cujo613]

For some reason I dont think the rear cam thing is that easy. There is something about its processes that does not allow it to work. I just cant think of why right now

 

[$lick Rick]

Ground the wire coming from the display unit harness that goes to the emergency brake.

Hook the backup light wire from the hideaway unit to a two pole on/off toggle switch, the other end of the toggle switch goes to 12 volts, yellow. Same yellow wire that the hideaway gets it power from.

Run a RCA video wire from the hideaway "video out" to the hideaway unit "back up camera in".

seems like it'd work to me

 

[boricuacvc]

yeah... the camera input should be fine.

 

[that VERBAL]

seems like it'd work to me

if you don't install a reverse light switch you do not need to do all that...You just hook it up to the cam inputs.

 

[cujo613]

?????? for some reason, i dont think that will work. Im not saying it wont. Theres just something that I cant remember right now. SORRY
