It only takes a minute. you can use everything on the navigation menu and play videos whenever you like.

its very worth it. imagine you need to punch in a destination and you are on the highway, if the bypass is not done, you would have to park along the highway to punch it in.
i say get it done.
But if they are charging you even as much as 50dollars, i say tell them to f..k off.
just grounding the wire is all that needs to be done for the bypass. very easy.

i think the D3 you have to add a wire into the harness, still pretty simple but there is that extra little step

pretty much every shop out there will do it for you, it just lies on you to not be dumb and have movies playing while you roll by a cop.

Wow, I'm surprised that people still watch movies on their HU.
I've done that simple mod on my eclipse and we always get headaches while watching movies. Maybe its just me.

Oh yeah, its pretty damn dangerous doing it too.

I guess I'm just used to it by now.

The trick is to use a movie that you've seen before so that you are not constantly looking at the screen
