If that's the case then I know what my next project is, just need to decide on what system to get. Any opinions? Keep me posted on the hybrid.

First of all, wow man, are you like a mom or something or did you not read the last posts by SRim and myself? I think you need to read up on thelaw before coming on here and posting stuff that is just an opinion and nothing more. Second of all, what took me 10 mins was pulling my dash/console...

Actually what I did is not illegal, like SRim23 said, the action of watching videos while driving is what's illegal not the act of the parking brake bypass. I couldn't believe how easy the bypass was either. Took a whole 10 mins to complete it. I still think that it was pretty rediculous of...

Sounds pretty nice to me. Have you heard anything about exhaust system upgrades on the hybrids? I wouldn't think the stock systems are anything special so I could go several of different directions when I replace it. But I wanted to find out for sure before I do it. Thanks.

Well after doing a little more research it turns out that it's not the iPod touch causing problems. What's happening is that the unit will only give you limited ipod control abilities when the parking brake is disengaged. Therefore, I just did the simple parking brake bypass (ground the wire)...

I did a little more research and just grounded the parking brake wire from the HU. Sure enough, everything works perfect now. No need for a switch. Thanks for the input.

I have a 2006 Honda Civic in which I just installed an Eclipse AVN52D. I want to bypass the the parking brake mainly because ipod control from the HU is disabled when you are in drive (wtf). Do I just have to ground the parking brake lead from the HU or is it more complicated than that? I...

My commute to work is zero highway, so even before I had the rims put on the mpg was averaging around 45. Once I had the rims switched my average dropped to a little over 40 which I am still happy with. The rims I have are pretty heavy so I will most likely move to a lighter set by the end of...

Yeah nice eye, they are 17's

It's nice to see another Civic Hybrid owner try to change some things up a bit. I love people's reaction when I tell them that my car is actually a hybrid. Good luck with all your plans and let me know how they turn out. I'm looking at installing a custom exhaust system in mine but I cannot find...

Hey everyone, new member here, love the site so far. My list follows: 1993 Ford F-150 4x4 - 4" Lift Kit, 35" BG Goodrich Mud Terrains, Custom Exhaust, Panasonic HU w/ Pioneer Speakers and Sub 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited - Clarion HU, 2 15" Kicker Solabarics w/ Kicker Amp, Custom Exhaust...

The unit I replaced was the Pioneer FH-P8000BT which also featured ipod control. It worked perfectly using my touch. However that unit just came out last year so I guess the eclipse just won't interface correctly. Ugh. I guess I need to get on craigslist and buy an old school ipod to use solely...

Hello everyone, I'm a new member here and I have one question. I recently installed the Eclipse AVN52D in my 2006 Civic, including the ipod adapter and the bluetooth kit. However, I am having issues with the ipod touch interface. The music plays perfectly but when I go to search for albums...
