IN-DASH SCREENS

[CUT BUDDY]

I like the Kenwood Excelon KVT-817 and the Pioneer AVH-p7600. I heard some people talking the other day about the e-brake function. I know u dont have to have it hooked up to use the screen on the Kenwood, but what about the Pioneer? I dont plan on playing the screen while driving but I dont want to have to hit the e-brake everytime I wanna play something on it either.

No you don't have to do that with any aftermarket indash or double din...That's all in the installer. If he sets it up to have to have the e-brake on then you pretty much have no choice...Nobody here in Miami does it that way though :^

Yea thats what I was think'n cuz I put a Alpine in my homeboi's Cutlass and I didnt have to do it....I didnt know if all of em where like that.

[Ernesto]

I'm pretty sure all of the indashes depend on the way it's installed. The only ones that are going to come for sure like that with the e-brake is any thing that comes from the car dealer. If not it would be "illegal".

I'm not sure with that pioneer model, but the N1, N2, N3 models, you gotta do some modding, not sure what though..check around google to see what's easier to mod to bypass the e-brake..I have a kenwood 617 and mine worked out easily, no modifications or anything required

steve runs an AVIC, he should know about the bypass on it, and Ray has installed some im sure

I already have the Excelon kvt-817 for my car and I know it bypasses with no mods....I think that P7600 bypasses with no mods too. I was gonna put the same kinda kenwood in my truck as whats in my car but I kinda like that Pioneer so I might get the pioneer when I get ready to do my truck. I cught a sell on ebay a while back and got the Kenwood for $950 shipped and I just saw that Pioneer on ebay a few days ago for $1075 shipped which aint bad but I think I can get it for under a G if I wait.(no refurbished stuff here, always new)

I am pretty sure these are correct. These are the bypasses for Pioneer.

Pioneer Avic N-1. You have to solder two points together on the bottom side of the head unit underneath the void sticker,  and ground the ebrake wire somewhere other than the ebrake.

Pioneer Avic N-2. You have to ground the ebrake wire somewhere other than the ebrake and I think the bypass involves using two wiring harnesses and some splicing and cutting to do it. Not sure.

Pioneer Avic N-3. You have to ground the ebrake wire somewhere other than the ebrake and peel off the void sticker on the bottom of the unit and flip the switch under there.

Pioneer Avic Z-1. Ground out the ebrake wire somewhere else and when turning the unit on and the startup script appears on the screen of the Z-1, flip your parking lights on and then off and it should enable you to use the functions while driving, or you could buy the little device from a car audio shop to install it permanently like I did.

Not sure on the other Pioneer sources. I found these out when I was looking into buying a Pioneer. I decided to get the Z-1.
