This is the latest descripton of how their bybass works on the 400h. Just added to beatsonic's website:Additional Information
- The DVD bypass may be engaged at all times without affecting any other factory controls.
- *The navigation bypass is limited to 30 seconds. After 30 seconds, user will need to press the button again to disengage the bypass, wait 2 seconds and then press the button to engage the bypass to continue where left off.
So they now concede they cannot solve the problem. Case closed.

Dear CL members,

We apologize for all the inconvenience due to the 30 second issue on the navigation bypass. If you are not satisfied with the product due to the time limitation, please contact us and we will gladly offer you a refund on the item.

Last I checked with BeatSonic, they wanted me to return the product for a refund in the 'original' box. How is it expected that everyone who has one of these installed keep their original boxes? Plus pay for the shipping....... I hope they find a fix and provide that to the owners.

my 2 cents.

Dear rx400h1976,

I apologize for the misinformation. Original box will not be required for this return and we will provide the shipping label for the return.

Please contact us at http://www.beatsonicusa.com/contacts/ for anyone who is not satisfied and would like to return the navigation bypass.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

Eric

Sorry to re-open an old thread. Have been searching around on this forum for the dvd bypass solution. With the self done bypass (cutting wires) its been noted that on the energy screen that the wheels become motionless. Now with the Beat-sonic system, with the system in 'normal mode' does all remain original until switch for bypass? Cheers

Hi Craig,

Yes, in the normal mode, the wheels in the energy screen will have motion when the vehicle is moving.

Please let me know if you have additional questions.

Thanks!

great thread - I'm going to have to pick one of these up - makes no sense that the passenger cant input nav and/or access other functions.

a huge HUGE thanks mctufts for all this great info - all done + very easy install. id recommend 2 people as its a pain in the butt to access some of the rear connectors while holding onto the large nav/stereo units.

everything was installed, tested and re-assembled in under an hour. the beat sonic tvk-37 worked instantly + immediately.

a huge thank you to Eric + rest of BeatSonic staff as I contacted him directly thru CL. i was a pita asking him about the tvk-37 as well as the 3716 and he was more then patient and educational re everything.

After removing them, just find a place underneath the nav unit to grasp it firmly and pull. It requires a decent amount of force but doing so will disengage the clips holding it in.



The next picture is a top down view of the connectors behind the Nav/multidisplay unit. This is the view when you've pulled out the Nav unit but haven't disconnected anything, peering over the top of it to see the connectors. You can see three differently sized white connectors. The one you're interesting in removing is the right-most one from this top down view. If you unplug the whole unit and flip it around, the one you'd want to remove would be the left-most one.



This next picture is of the connector removed. Once removed, simply plug it into the empty female connector from the Beat Sonic and plug in the male connector from the Beat Sonic into the now empty nav unit connector.



Plug back in the nav unit. Now all that's left is the wire from the Beat Sonic that must be ground somewhere, which at this point, should be dangling underneath the nav unit. The following is a picture of the wire, which is conveniently separated out from the Beat Sonic connector.



Simply connect the ground wire to one of the two bolts you had to remove to take out the nav in the first place, and screw it back it. The next picture shows the ground wire now attached to the right bolt.



And that's it! Not too bad right? Will post a pic of where my switch is placed in the following post. Sorry about the different sized pics...some were obviously re-sized and some weren't...

Default too expensive

metra 99-8259S $20
Metra 70-8144 - $10


What is the point of a Beatsuc-kit for $500?

I'm so lost on this thread
