Phanon TC... THANK YOU. that wasnt hard at all. ive never had to do steering wheel controls before so it just seemed a little scary... got in there and it all made sense! god, i love this thing!

 

I have a similar Pioneer TV in my TC and im hooking up the AVIC-88DVD nav system but i dont know where to hook up the speed sensor. Is it really hooked up to the HVAC and how did you get a nice border around your tv? I could not fit the plastic border they sent around my tv so you can kind of see behind it.

 

I think is this one

Yeah the kit is the 95-8202 from Metra.


If anyone is still interested, I have D3's in stock at great prices!!

 

hey did you by any chance have to by new housing so there were no gaps for the Avic-D3? you know like how you normally would by custom housing for headunits so they would fit in different cars with different consoles.

 

u buy the kit.. as posted above.. the metra (95-8202) kit to fill in the gaps

oh sorry i didnt pay attention, thanks

 

Ok i installed my D3 like few days ago. Love it but dont like the way u cant change the present channel on the FM radio. I dont know if i cant change the settings somehow. The problem is that when i have my navigation on wit the radio playing i want to change the station. So i press >>l, for it to change to the next programed station but instead it SEEKS to 100.3>100.5>100.7> and so on. How do i make it change by presents saved when pressing >>l or l<< ???
I know that i can just go back to the AV radio menu and manualy press the up or down arrow to change station, but i want the buttons to change it .

 

i don't think it can do that. i wish it did though, cuz with my steering wheel controls (same as |<< and >>|), it tunes up or down instead of changing to the next preset.

 

yea that kinda sucks, i dont mind tappin the screen but during navigation its annoying

 

ecu is locked behind the glove box, it is to the right of your heater core, and it is mounted verticaly. there are five connectors plugged into it, There are two at the top, then there there is a blank there 3 more. The speed sensor is the in the second connector at the top, and it is the purple wire... it is the only purple wire in that connector. Total install took me 1 hour..... the hardest part was modding the radio door so i can keep it.... the **** on the unit hits the door.

 

the bracket modd is pretty easy cuz u drill out all the little indents and use those holes instead. The dvd modd is alittle tricky

 

So should i hook the orange wire in the HVAC or the purple wire to the speed sensor for my nav?

 

tap into the orange wire of the HVAC harness for speed sensor

purple wire is the reverse wire used for the d3

 

I am kind of confused about the first few pics in this. what are you bypassing. what are you picking out with the screw driver. when i hooked up my tv i just plugged the connector into the back of the unit.

 

taking the rca cable and moving the mute (yellow/black wire) from its original pin location. Moving it to the pin above and grounding it along with the ebrake wire to ground. Bypassing it allows you to watch videos and change poi's on nav while your driving. Otherwise you must be parked and have the ebrake on.

 

for future reference, i didn't drill to get my radio door to close. i dremelled out the inner part of the door where the volume **** is and it closes perfectly. i did this cuz it seemed easier and i didn't want my unit to be more recessed in than it already is.

 

So i move that wire up a pin and just ground it along with the ebrake wire and it will work without the ebrake on. i dont have to hook the ebrake wire to any power?

 

nope
all that wire was there for was a ground.

 

hey phanon i saw you on avic411, any confirmation if you the movies on the ipod on a play list then you can control it from the HU? also, have you tried putting divx movies on a dvd? how does the nav work for that? thanks in advance!
