any bt updates by chance?

 

Woot!

Just got my D3 put in last night @ Best Buy!

BB was offering the Sirius Tuner free with purchase so I jumped on that and got everything installed!

Just ordered the metra kit to add to it for the side pieces and will drill the brackets when that comes in! Thinking about ordering a remote for it as well!

 

just got mine in... cover closes and its bypassed! works great!

 

OKay im getting it installed tomarrow for 899.00 for the HU and 150 for the install and 25 for the bracket and cables. Does anyone have any of the extras with it? IE bluetooth, ipod adapter, steering wheel remote, xm traffic?

 

Got mine in about 2 weeks ago. Been loving it ever since! Pics soon to come.

 

with those who have the d3 and a good music system, how is the audio quality especially when u bumping it pretty loud?

 

^ its great. it doesnt sound as good as my old 8600DEH deck is, but after tuning it alot more and more, the sq difference is barely noticeable. only grip i have on it is that the beep noise it makes when you push a button was recorded crappy so theres some extra noise after you press it. other than that the eq controls can be a bit better (have control on the HPF slopes and what not) but it overall can put out a really great sounding system.

 

Okay I got it installed I like it. Nav is awesome and perfect directions. Any secrets I should know?

 

get it bypassed? lol

 

You didn't have to pay anyone to install it.

 

Just installed mine today and I wanna say thanks to everyone who has input the info regarding the bypass and modified brackets. It looks and sounds great!

 

Awesome, man. I keep telling myself I was gonna take pictures, but I'm kinda lazy. Hasn't been anything you guys haven't seen before, anyway.

I'll have some up before the end of the week.

 

^ i wont lie. im just lazy. hahahah

 

any1 in the NY, longisland area wanna help me install this ?? never done one b4 i wana bypass it and be able to close the door, thanks ~ !

 

I've never installed a nav unit before, either. And I was able to do it in less than an hour. Only thing that took the most time was soldering the D3's harness to my Metra harness. But other than that, it was cake.

At least look at what you have to do before you throw in the towel and ask for help.

 

you can even butte splice it if you want too, instead of soldering.

freestyle.. if you want ill do it, just fly me up there :D ahah

 

I like soldering. It's almost like welding, but totally not at all.

 

Finally installed mine. Got everything working except the bypass. I pulled it apart again today but still says that the ebrake is improperly connected. I will figure it out.
Here is a quick pic since we all know what it looks like.

 

I did the bypass this way. Much easier, and you don't have to unscrew anything or tie the wire to any bolts or whatever.

That is how I have mine. I think maybe my mute wife isnt pushed all the way into the harness or something.
