Questions about installation of aftermarket navigation

[MattyLight21]

So, I recently purchased the Pioneer AVIC-D3 for my 2006 Mazda 3i. I enjoy doing work on my car rather than pay to have it done, so I plan on doing the installation myself. I am far from an expert, but I am confident that I can do the installation on my own.

However, I've been reading up on the Pioneer and it seems that you are not able to program in a new destination to the navigation system unless the parking brake is on (much like you are not able to watch DVDs while the car is moving). I have also read that it is possible to by-pass this restriction, but I have not found a detailed enough description on how to do this. I just wanted to know if anyone has done a similar installation and, if so, can you help me install this receiver the way I would like. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks.

I would ask crutchfield for help. They have the best support me and my dad have ever had!

Evertyhing you need to know about the Pioneer AVIC line, including the "bypass" you are talking about.
