I just purchased a pioneer dvd/cd deck that flips out. Iv heard that
there
is some part or code to use with the deck that will allow you to watch

dvds
without emergency brake on. Could anyone give me some more info on being
able to watch DVD's while actually driving? I would appreciate any

info....
thanks guys


Yeah, it's an RTO4873 IC in the Pioneer unit itself, though it may be
labelled as something else in your particular unit. You have to flip it
upside down, remove the screws, bang it gently with a rubber mallet at all 4
corners, and it should pop right off. You'll see a black IC near the center
of the top PCB. You need to disable it. I've found that the easiest way to
do this is to take some solder and short all the pins to each other. By the
way, use silver solder, and leave the soldering iron on the pins for a long
time so that you can make sure that the solder seeps into the pins really
well to provide the ideal connection between pins. Good luck.
