Use a small small flat head screwdriver on the side of this and lift the little flap to pull out the wire...

Badass and thanks for the write-up....it is dizzing to see how many wires are involved but you make it appear simple! J

STICKY!!!!
[sm=groupwave.gif]

Yeah tons of wires, but not so bad...

What about the backup signal wire;)

Didn't install a camera so no need... When I get around to that (in a year or so) I will add to it...:D

I didnt wire the reverse signal eiher for the Z1, i was to lazy to find the wire and didnt think that the navigation really needed to know that i was going 25 feet in reverse

Wow that is an impressive write-up. How-Tos like this are my favorite part of the forum. Mucho thanks. I can only hope the moderators see fit to make this a sticky.

Glad you enjoyed it. Don't worry, I usually solicit the moderators to stickies... :)

Don't you need a part from radio shack to knock the 12v AVIC-D3 preamp feed down to 5v? If you have a shacker system

Yes that is correct... I edited the top to reflect w/out shaker. Thanks for the heads up so there aren't any confusions with some that may not know.

Nice write up, I had mine installed last weekend,and have had a blast with it. I added the Sirus too, and got their life time subscription. If I'd have seen your write up before, Iwould have tried to tackle it myself. You did a great job.

Whoa a lifetime of Sirius!!! Now that's what I call serious!!!

Excellent pun sirusly. :D

Wow....I think even I can install that with those
instructions....;)

Awesome... I'm torn between this one and the eclipse AVN5510

Excellent.

I like the different shots of the bypass, more detailed than the usual pictures going around. Good one on the speed control also. Thanks.

Sweet! Too complicated for me though[:@]

I like the AVIC cause of the nice IPOD interface. The problem with it is that I have 8000+ songs and it's real slow in navigating the songs. So what I did was in iTunes, I made all the Genres the first letter of the artist. That way when I know who I want I press Genre and then the Letter of the artist. Works great!!!

pics of my avic-d3. i added the lifetime sirius, the ipod adaptor, the backup camera, and i had the bypass installed so that i could have the dvd player run while driving. word of advice, if you guys wnt to add a backup camera then you can buy one for $100 off of ebay. the name of it is a boyo and i read a few reviews with nothing but positives. i bought it and love it.it comes on automatically when you put the car in reverse and it works pretty good at night as well. better than the $250 one that pioneer sells. also it bolts to your license plate bracket so no drilling holes or sticking anything to your paint

very nice write up...good job!

thanks,
i love this write up.

Very Good write up.

Great write up. Makes me want to move some money from performace account to appearance/electronic.

Glad to see you wrote this write up since I'm going to be getting the D3....just have one question, I noticed a set of switches on the left side of the power socket, what are they for?

I have my radar detector hard wired into the car, and it comes with a mute button, so I took the shell apart and installed the circuit board behind the blank button area since I don't have mycolor...

ORIGINAL: Boozshey

since I don't have mycolor...


I know the feeling

can you hook it into the stock sirius antenna?

Good question I don't know the answer to that...
