You can get a nice little toggle switch to make it look nice and neat, mine is mounted by right knee on the side of the center con.

why the hell would you need a toggle switch for a $1500-$2000 unit??? why bugger up the dashboard or knee panel?

tell me what you need to do to bypass the thing, and i'll show you how to do it without the switch.

that's ridiculous as well (the switch).

nevermind:

"For every one that is looking for a bypass for the pioneer models AVIC N2 and d1 you dont need one. After install and the unit is set up and navi is programed just put a toggle switch on the VSS wire this is the pink wire also know as speed sense. The memory in the unit will remember every thing in it. Also dont forget to ground the green brake wire. You will still get the message at the begining saying not to veiw just hit ok it will work fine.
Yes this does stop your speedo and g rating from working in the diagnostic display but you are watching a dvd and when you need the display just turn it back on. Also it does impare your navi (it will try to do every thing by antenna)but like i said just turn it back on when you need the navi option."

and

"UPDATE
the gyros in the unit do catch this and turn the warning on but it is only when there is high acceleration. It turns off by itself right away or you can turn the toggle switch on and off. so the first idea works but not 100%."


ok, now my $0.02 worth.

ridiculous. $2000ish for a piece of electronics that won't let you do what you want it to do.

i don't know about you all, but not being able to 'adjust' this safety feature makes this unit unfavorable.....

now, if you want to get really creative, you could tap into one of the negative trigger switches on the control panel for PDC or DSC and use a latch device to connect and disconnect that wire... prevents you from needing ANOTHER switch to get the unit to do what you want it to do.

for that kind of money, its not worth it. i'd go with the kenwood.
