I have Alpine Iva-d300 using one of the switching relay thingamabobs My Intsaller buddy said he never hooks them to E-brake.

 

are any of these bypassable

these are the choices i am thinking about...

and Im sure the more i look the more my choices become

I dont have to spend alot of money as a sound system will weigh the car down

just what i dont want to do but i want to make the drives more liveable

any thoughts or ideas guys

I believe any of them are bypassable as long as you use the correct componets .

 

regular in dash dvd players are all bypassable. its the ones with the gps.navigation that are kinda difficult to bypass. the avic n 2 pioneer , you have to drop solder and jump the 2 posts under that silver sticker, avic n 3 you have to just pulse the lights in the very start up of the unit when it says " starting navigation"

 

the regular ones are only e brake that needs to be grounded, what i usually do is just to run a bypass to the ground and a hidden switch for it. just in case a cop sees me and i have to bypass right away ,

 

Anyone have pics of there installed Navi or DVD?

 

I'm not sure about the others but the Alpine I have, IVA-D310, you have to hold the foot brake and engage the parking brake twice to deactivate the safety. So with the switch you just touch the brake and toggle the switch twice. Also another thing I've noticed on mine is not only is dvd video playback attached to this safety but so are most of the menus. With the safety on you only get a few setup menus but as soon as you deactivate the safety a bunch more pop up. About 75% of them are locked down until you do so to prevent you making those changes while driving.

 

if my pioneer avic n2 ever arrives ill get some pics up. its been in the mail for almost 2 months. (im overseas and it shipped through the APO system.)

 

I have the D-1 in my Acura, so hot, wanted to know if I could fit it in the Evo when I get it and looking at this threat, should be able to!

 

i have an eclipse it works perfectly while driving

 

My Alpine IVA-D310 can... (toggled of course)

 

Anybody know how to bypass the new JVC KD-AVX2. Its a nice little deck with a built in 3.5" screen... Thinkin about getting it but b4 I do I wanna know if and how to bypass it so it can play video while moving... Thanks in advance.

 

My switch relay is in the little cubby tray to the left of the steering wheel. I have the IVA-D900

 

bump for an answer

 

I have a Kenwood KVT-715. I can play DVD's anytime, it's a great unit.
