hi guys, can anyone recommend a nice DVD Unit that will play DVDs while the car is in motion on the unit's LCD, not the headrests...? Most of these units won't play while in motion unless hooked to headrests, is there a simple bypass procedure for these units?

There is a reason that they do not display video on the main monitor while driving. Anyway, you can bypass it on some models. They are getting more difficult in many cases. Just be sure not to hit me while you are watching TV.

I'm fully aware of the reason bro, I just want my girl to relax and watch a movie on long drives since I have a ACURA CL...and don't worry, I won't hit you with my car, I'll get out and hit u myself...

I wasn't trying to be an ass, so anyway...some use a negative trigger from the parking brake, some use a combination of e-brake and foot brake pulses, and some are done through a built in gyro. So it really depends on the unit.

Ooops.. Do you have Navigation in your car? What kind of car do you have?

i have yet to see one of these in dash monitors that could not be by passed... most of them all you have to do is ground the ebrake wire and you are good to go.. alpine is the only one that i can think of that is different oh yeah and the new pioneers..

You can bypass the new pioneers to, just have to know the trick. What monitor do you have?

try ebay. i bought my bypass for alpine iva-d300 from ebay and it works great.
it's not that expensive too. I believe the company that makes the bypass device
was PAC

If you're insinuating it's because we have too many lawyers in the states, I agree.....These same units are not confugured for motion lock in Europe... land of the free indeed

Figure out this one, Pioneer AVIC-N1 upgraded to AVIC-N2 Software, it does not have that open area of the mainboard to solder two points together. Lockout as soon as you start driving and unlocks as soon as you stop in motion.
If you can figure this one out, i'll praise you genius.

Alpine's use a PAC piece called a TR-7 it comes preprogrammed to do exactly what the Alpine Bypass is needed. It is literally meant for that.

Pioneer is still ground out the e-brake, but sometimes you do have to pulse it,
on the AVH-P5700DVD, you still have to go e-brake up down up and then press ok on the screen. That you can use a TR-7 and program it or else just get a toggle switch hooked up to the park brake wire of the screen.

Kenwood is strictly just hook up e-brake

Pioneer Navigation systems have a gyro lockout, there has been info spreading around on how easy it is to bypass it now.

At this point in time, once you have already upgraded the software on your N-1 to N-2, you'll have to re-format the HDD... (Only Pioneer can do this, as they are the only ones able to re-install the O/S and install the original software)

After receiving the N-1 back in original configuration, DO NOT INSTALL THE N-2 DISC..... instead, make copies of your upgraded disk, copying each file on a seperate disc. You'll see a map-update, a dvd update, and a few others.... only install the map update.

yeah but can u make it work with n2 software?
I knnow u can do that, just buy the new bottom mainboard and replace it.

But how do u make it work with N2 software.
