its a quality player but pretty basic pioneer you have to buy all the addons
or Matt you can sell what you got and buy the one that Viraj is now selling

not a bad deal at all, only downside is the gyro which doesnt allow you to watch videos or anything once you start moving, if your into that type of thingQuote:

What he said ^.. Installing a bypass switch is the answer... Easiest thing I ever got around...
the avic series cannot be bypassed other then the avic n1 as long as the software isnt upgraded...it has a built in gyroscope which disables video if you go over like 5 mph even if you had the parking brake engaged or the wire grounded off or a bypass switch hooked upQuote:

unfortunatelly its not as easy as installing a switch
Yeah, those screens are nice but carpc is deff the way to go 8)
countrylover79 would disagree with you on that one. check out avic411.com. afik, all the avics can be bypassed (and not by using a stupid switch either), except for the avic z2. a bypass hasnt been found for that yet.Quote:

Well, unless the screen has VGA support its not gonna look that great. I tried hooking a normal screen up to a comp and it was extremely hard to read. I don't think road runner was too bad but if I remember it was a bit fuzzy. Videos looked fine though. That's why I scrapped that idea and just bought a 7" Liliput touchscreen which is VGA and it looks great.Quote:

Or sell it when it comes time to do your carpc and buy a nice Xenarc touchscreen or something :D

All of the n series avics can be bypassed, as well as the d series. As stated the Z2 is currently the only avic without a bypass.
I don't know much, but I do know avics.
i want to buy that one so badly but i just dont have the money for it right now. the only way i could possibly do it is in about 2 weeks and i would need to sell my current one first to get enough money. but at that great of a price i know it wont last that long
