worked great

I bought this for my double din Alpine head unit and it works great. Haven't had any issues. I can now watch videos whenever i want!

Great product

This product does exactly what it needs. IMPORTANT, if you are buying this solely for an Alpine head unit, the instructions can be very confusing for this, but you do not need to program. Simply hook up the power, ground, remote leads, and then the foot and hand break wires. Semi temperamental, I went through two of these.

Good

Used this to bypass the parking brake wire in my Pioneer 8400. Was very simple and worked perfectly.

Fried aftrr a month

Honestly, no idea what happened at first when my radio stopped turning on. Took of the tr-7 and everything was fine (no additional settings of course)
Learned that this unit will fry itself easily, so invest in a bigger unit, or use toggles. This one is a bit unstable.

great product

Pac tr-7 its an overall great product, I used it as a parking brake bypass does the job with ease hassle free on a pioneer head unit . This unit could also be used for a number of different things n not just a bypass. Still think that for me its a little pricey but thanks to sonic

PAC TR-7 Interface Module

Great interface module. Needed to control my aftermarket fog lamps, using a factory momentary contact fog lamp control switch. Unit had several program options to choose. I chose the push once for on, push again for off option. It also does many other specialized functions for many applications.
Thanks PAC.

Easy to wire

I used this product on my Alpine IVA-D106 and it works great. I thought it was going to be a pain to wire but it was very easy to wire together. The only problem I had was the wire was so small my ground wire came loose from the connector and it wouldn't play movies but I just folded the wire over to double the thickness and it hasn't came loose yet.

This little module works great, fairly easy to install and small enough to be able to hide anywhere in the dash.

PAC TR7 review

To start out with, shipping was faster than I expected, so I was happy from the jump. I have used the tr7 before, but the old one had to be programmed, which sometimes was a trouble. The old one I was using had to be replaced, because the switch broke off. The new design, has a switch, but is pre-programed for Alpine. The new design is a simple plug and play. Much better that the alternative, of the toggle switch method. I know this is not the right thing to do, to watch video up front. I mainly add the TR7 so I can access the A-proc. In Alpine decks. Over all, the TR7 is a really nice, simple, easy way to do exactly what it was designed for. Great Product!!

Great product

I have a pioneer double din and tried using a relay switch and that didn't work then I tried using a manual switch and didn't like having to turn in on and off every time I started my truck. so I went to sonic and asked the guy at the front desk and he recommended getting the pac tr-7 and it worked perfect. I can now play movies while driving.

A Must Have Device for an Alpine HU

Pre programmed for an Alpine HU. Just connect the wires as stated in the instructions and it will automatically bypass each time you turn on your HU. Be certain to use the "remote" wire and NOT the "remote turn on" wire from the Alpine HU when connecting the device. You can't bypass an Alpine HU by just grounding one wire like some other HU's. This device will do it all for you.

Works like a charm with the ALPINE IXAW404

Works great. It was basically plug and play since this is pre-programed for use with Alpine head-units.

I used the PAC TR-7 with my Alpine 505. I wired it up and it has been working perfectly (about 6 months) so far. Follow the instructions and it will for you too.

Works like a charm

Used this with a Pioneer AVH-X4600BT and it was easy cake to hook up. Wish the Pac instructions were more clear on what wire sends out what . Did some easy research online.

Works like a charm with the ALPINE IXAW407

This is the second unit I purchased not because it broke but for another vehicle. Again the install was almost plug and play since this comes pre-programed for Alpine head units. Works Flawless!

PAC TR-7

I have a Corvette, so I wanted my wife to be able to watch DVDs on long trips while I'm driving. I went online to research a product that would allow me to do that. The PAC TR-7 appeared to be the best product for what I wanted to do. I purchased the PAC TR-7 and had it installed with a new Alpine radio. The results were fantastic and the PAC TR-7 did everything as promised. And most importantly, my wife loves it.

If you enjoy video as much as I do, this is what you need. This bypass module keeps the video rolling while you do the same. I recommend this module to anyone who feels the same because it works like a champ and is really easy to install.

Great Product.

This is a great product. The TR-7 can perform numerous functions due to it's design. I have used this product for my Alpine W-200 and now my Alpine W505. The TR-7 comes factory set for the Alpine by-pass. Also included, is a instruction sheet for the various capibilities of the TR-7. I highly recommend this product. Sonic Electronics was great in verfying the product was in stock and shipped it out same day. Awesome!!

works perfect

This is a must have, whats the point in have a dvd player if you cant play it with the e brake engaged? it is easy to install just find out what wires you will need first. i didnt need 3 of them i found that info on a forum somewhere. works great. no problems ease of you ill give 4 stars because of the lack of information provided for installi wanted a babysitter. but after an hour i had it wired up.. just wire up with the wires already there. easy to install when doing a head unit upgrade.

pac tr-7

i just got in my pac tr-7 to bypass the video signal lock on the clarion vrx765vd indash dvd player. it works great. the only problem i had with it were with the programing instructions. they are a little on the confusing side but just read them a few times and dont try reading them as your programing it and you should be fine.

Junk

Had stero shop install. He said it didn't work and just used a relay instead. Waste of money. Do not buy for using as brake by pass. Get the microBypass instead.

TR-7

I have had this installed for about a year on an Alpine IVA-w203. Works as described, no issues wiring it up, though you need to be comfortable with soldering for proper connections.

Please be safe and do not watch the DVD's while driving. This will allow that, but more importantly, it unlocks a few settings menus while not in park.
