Ok...i was google'n and this is the smartest thing i've seen (since looking at the file structure) and i think it will work....let me hear what you think guys....


Heres what my local audio store tried.....
1st they tried to "jumper" the speed sensor....(with a switch to go from navi/ to no nav but dvd) that works for exactly 1 1/2 minutes til that dam screen pops up again.
So I had a POS BRAND NEW AVIC N-2 FOR ABOUT 2 weeks . I was getting my iPOD adapter and sirius installed and they asked if I wanted to be the guinea pig for this deck seeing as the owner was to have this same deck installed shortly.
Well I wasn't gonna sit with this deck not able to play movies whilst I was in motion. So yes I'll take your trial and errors.

They came up with (and mind you I have no idea how to wire this as they did it and it works so why question it right) So here goes....

It is needed to understand that You will have to have a TOGGLE SWITCH to go from full navigation and gauges etc. to seperately having the ability to watch the movies. They accomplished this via 3 seperate relays being used to interrupt the stupid gyro from the brain unit.
They cut my GPS antenna, found through their own route, the relays in order to keep movie playing while in drive. So really who's gonna want NAVI while watching a movie anyways..... So give your local stereo installer the idea and let them run it through their workings because I have a full working dvd when in drive via a simple TOGGLE SWITCH and those 3 relays.

Hope this helps ya out and it aint too long for ya

 

Thanks but that's sounds a little complicated without step by step instructions. I would hope that my hybrid N1 discs with latest map data will be much easier for all

If you can get more info on your mods, let us know

We're getting there

Thanks

No right way to do something stupid.

A great JD saying.

 

does that mean you dont think it'll work????

 

I know what you read, and won't really comment on whether it will work long term. I will say that i hope you never need warranty work.

 

I think that you're going to a lot of work do something that's illegal, dangerous, and shortsighted, and I'm glad you don't live or drive anywhere near me.
