which DVD players can be bypassed to run DVDs while moving...
Crutchfield is having a mad sale and I am thinking of getting an indahs DVD player to entertain my passengers when we go on road trips
anyone have an idea?

 

pioneer avic n1-very easy
pioneer avic n2-easy
not sure of other ones.

 

those are just grounded correct
ie- parking brake switch?

 

avic-n1:just ground
avic-n2:toggle ground
kenwood Kv717 and older: just ground
alpines: various, some toggle, some relay, some just ground
avic d1/2: ground mod on harness, easy

 

yeah the n1 is just ground
the n2 ground and there is a silver dont tamper with me sticker that you peel back and either solder or somehow connect the 2 pins that are back there. i hear you can do it with a "add a circuit pen" all other countries get the system where you can drive with a dvd playing.

eclipse has nice stuff but im not sure if it needs to be bypassed or if it can be.

 

I have a newer clarion and Ive tried everything and nothing will bypass it....As soon as I ground it it works but then when i turn the car off and back on it just resets and it wont play video only sound.....

 

Put in a toggle switch on that wire.

 

Same for the Alpines. Ground the wire that is supposed to be hooked to the hand brake and put a toggle switch between the a/v unit and where you ground it. Kinda like:

a/v box------------(toggle switch)---------------ground

(I take no responsibility for what you do with this and recommend that you only watch the dvd player when stopped )

 

I had no problem bypassing mine. I have an IVA-d900

 

hmmm
could be a plan for me then
I just have to see what is a good deal in crutchfield
has anyone seen the sale they are having
you can save up to or over 600 on certain items
anyone have a good recommendation for me as to
which i should get?

 

Eclipse avn7000- just ground it.

 

I mounted a small toggle switch between the hand brake and the cup holder.

Did you drill a hole or just run it up the side or something? I have mine just kinda laying on the floor between the console and the drivers seat because I can't decide where I want it and whether or not to make it permenant. Have any pics?

 

i dont understand the reason for the toggle switch
how does it work
ie start t he car
turn on AV system
hit toggle to on
im not a car audio person
its just that my gf like it when i had my PSP dash mounted and run through the system so she can watch stuff while i drive somewhere

 

The toggle switch is for the DVD player. I think it's "switch off", the DVD player is in Blue screen mode (can't play while in Motion). "Switch up" is in play mode where you can play while in motion. It's basically for people that don't want to get hassled by cops. I don't know what other states but Cali has a law where you can't play any movies while in motion. Don't know about Navi though...
