Bypass wire for the Pioneer 3200BT-3300BT for DVD?

Can someone tell me what the name and number is of the bypass wire I need for the system so that I can get the DVD's to work while the car is in motion?

OHHH ... I also heard that if you have the NAV system installed that
this was not possible to do right now.
Is this true?

Thanks.

Oh also where I can get the wire.
Thanks!

Here is the link to the video. It is true that if you have Nav the relay bypass does not work. It would be better if you installed a switch in place of the relay.
I installed the relay only to wire a switch to it later because I was still unplugging the Nav to get the bypass to work.

Here's where I mounted my Nav and bypass switch.

Same delayed method would apply as this one is the same as the 4200 I believe. No bypass wire for this one I think, as in can´t just pop an unused one out (mute wire in most cases) and put it into a ¨curiously¨ open molex hole on the head-unit´s harness.

With any of the tack-ons like Nav for these units, since it´s proprietary pioneer ip-bus controlled, it´s initialized after the main unit is, so you´d have to delay the relay with a timer circuit, or buy a pre-made relay with adjustable timer functionality to account for it. Think radio shack even has a simplistic 12v timer board for sale if I recall correctly. Other fairly cheap ready-made boards with the relay set to go for NOS applications I think too. Either way would work.

Otherwise, you´d have to do the switch method as stated..and just bypass once everything was initialized at start-up.

Here´s an experienced response, essentially the same thing, using this pre-made PAC TR7 for $20:

Quote:

I can watch video without unplugging the U220 before startup, no switches to flip, and it works regardless of the speed. I used the PAC TR7 module as suggested (available from amazon for like $20), but instead of just hooking it up as is (which uses the default function intended for Alpine head units) I programmed it to send a delayed output to a relay which grounds the parking brake. If you read the instructions included with the module, it's not that difficult: function #12 sets the module to send three separate timed outputs, but you only need 1. I set the time delay to five seconds and connected the input for the module to the power antenna line from the head unit and the time delayed output goes to the relay. When the unit turns on, the power antenna line sends power to the module, the module waits for 5 seconds then triggers the relay which grounds the parking brake. This gives the head unit the extra time it needs to boot up with the AVIC U220 connected before it grounds the parking brake. Now there are still some options that are unavailable in the navigation mode while driving over 10mph due to the accelerometer, but with this module/relay combination the video works perfectly all the time - from DVD, USB, iPod, AV Input, etc.

Full thread, here.
Here is another even cheaper way, as I was speaking of earlier.
