Hey guy's I just complete my navi to video but I make a harness so it Would not VOID my warrary. I got all the parts at FRY'S. Once I get the part numbers I will post it.

 

That's awsome, how much did it cost?

 

Did you use AVC-RGB1 decoder?? Where did you get that??

 

Poor Poor Songoku...You've been trying for a long time. I feel your pain.

I bet you if you got it, you would install it right away? I've had mine for about 6 months now...just sitting in my closet! mmm mmm mmm

 

The total cost was about $25 and yes I used the avc-rgb1. I found it on e-bay used with a pioneer monitor avd-505 for $200.

 

screw the numbers for now, we want pix!!!

 

I know...... I want one really bad!!

 

If you connect ANYTHING to the navi other than what it is intended for it VOIDS the warranty, even if it's a plug in harness.
I have been on the phone direct with American Honda to ask this question.

 

StreetEffectz,
What you stated is very true.... However when something breaks.... main unit(DVD), display, ect. By simply unplugging the addon stuff, returning it to factory apperance will not void your warranty. Now if he went behind the display unit and cut/ or shall i say 'chopped' factory wires that is a huge NO NO!!!
When I was employed at a honda dealership, I would see this done all the time, not so much on NAVI, but aftermarket amps'speaker wires',civic radios hanging in the wind due to the remote locks, what have you, We would stick it to the customer, unless he/she had the car serviced by us, 'a regular'. The reason being WARRANTY works pays crap compared to customer PAY! Being a tech 'flat rate' why get paid .5 'warranty' for job when the customer screwed it up- or the installer, It wasn't honda/acura's fault why should the tech suffer..So we would stick em for book time plus parts

I was a little concerned about doing the EQ bypass in my TL since im no longer employed by honda/acura. So what I did was...I dug into my tool box and found a male-female connectors and terminals, unplugged the pins from the connectors and performed the loop. Now lets say few months from now something blows up i just go back in and return it to factory, no one will ever know someone was 'playing'
I'm pretty sure thats why he went with the connectors

 

You and me both Paul, you and me both....

 

No, not you!!!

You need to save some $$ because you're getting married. :p

 

DOH!!! :wow:

 

awww man....too late for me. i already cut into the wires.

anyways...great work~!...i still want to know how you did it.
