I already have all the 24pin connectors for camera kits.

Adding the bypass kit later will be very easy and they do plug in to different places so not then end of the world to do separately. I agree there is interest in the bypass kits but also some are very keen to get their hands on the camera kits.

I also want to get some input on what you guys want. On the GT-R I used a remote because I didn't really have anywhere to put the 3 or 4 switches (or didn't want to). I would really like to work with a few of you on the best solution. I see a few potential offerings
1) For those happy to cut and splice wires then I can just write-up a free DIY guide
2) A plug and play harness so no cutting of original wires is required and you use you own switches
3) A plug and play harness with switches
4) A plug and play solution using the remote
I am wondering if we can't get a solution in 3A, where we use only one switch to bypass the NAV in motion and leave the DVD wire grounded all the time. If the DVD wire has no other effect other than to disable the DVD feature in motion it should be irrelevant to being grounded all the time. That would mean a single switch that could be placed in the console centre position. Centre position for the people with touring model or base as that spot is open on both. A factory style push button switch would be awesome and even better if it had an amber light to acknowledge the bypass mode...
thoughts?
