JVC have red illumine?

 

Actually the 514 is a 6.1 screen

 

Look at the hands on research for colors of the JVC KW-AVX820. Here's a pic they have too.

yes it has red... and about 6-7 other colors... i think there are 2 differant reds.. then you can change the look ( design lay out ) to i think 4 or 5 differant screens in any color you want

 

here is a couple pics of my JVC.... oh and another good feathure is it is easy to get it to play while you are driving ( just ground the green wire )..wife and kid likes to watch movies when we travel.. on the pioneer you have to put in a toggle switch and flip it back and forth

 

I just grounded the mute and parking brake wire on my Pioneer and it does the same thing. Not sure where you got the toggle switch idea. The DVD players on almost all of the units (regardless of brand) are activated when the vehicle is in park, therefore only the parking wire needs grounded.

 

Or use a relay like in this video of a bypass for the Pioneer avh-p4100dvd. Looks super easy.

well on my JVC all i had to do was ground the green wire.. when i tryed on my boys Pioneer it doesn't work that way. (never tryed the mute wire, that is something i never heard of or tryed ).. i don't know what pionner you have but you can go to almost any car audio forum and search Pioneer bypass .. and i haven't found one person who has been able to ground the wire on a pioneer and get it to work.. you have to buy a box, or toggle switch.. or a relay... here i will post some links from differant sites.. all the guys i have seen with a pioneers can not get them to work like you say.. i found out now that someone found that if you conect the two prongs under the do not taper sticker, then you can just ground it... Not saying you are not right, i just haven't found anyone who has done it your way.. it was last year when i was trying to figure it out...

the video looks like a easy way to...

 

Gotcha. Mine's the Z110BT. I actually remember seeing the video Stealth posted when I was looking around for how to do mine. In the wiring harness there is a yellow mute wire that needs popped out and moved over one position. From that it's just ground the mute and parking brake wire. I do recall seeing people having to put in relays and whatnot, but that was for other units. You're right that it depends on the unit.

 

essentially the same thing

 

I would look into Alpine head units...you may pay a little more for the name..but IMO worth it compared to a kenwood HU or pioneer....Kenwoods can be really confusing to control and function as well
