  1. connecting gex-p10xmt to my avic-d1, help!

    in Problems/Troubleshooting

    Posted

    my avic-d1 is already installed (had a store do it for me), but now i've got the xm receiver and want to hook it up. however, the instrucitons that came with it were somewhat confusing. the ports on the back of the xm receiver are:

     

    antenna, ip-bus out, data out, ip-bus in, power supply

     

    1. which one of these do i plug into the back of the avic-d1? just the "data out" cable? i'm not sure what the deal is with the "ip bus out" and "ip bus in" ports.

     

    2. i see that i have to power the xm unit and it has a power supply port. the included cable has a yellow (battery), black (ground), and red (acc) cable. i assume that i just splice into a yellow battery cable for that, black ground cable for that? should i look for any special yellow or black cables to splice into?

     

    however, the red cable says "Do not use this lead when the product is connected with an IP-BUS cable. If both an IP-BUS cable and this lead are used together, the product may not work properly. (Fold this led away and keep it unused until you need to turn the product ON/OFF independently from other connected devices).

     

    i guess if i knew the answer to #1, i would know what to make of #2.

     

    help! :o

     

    1. Data Out and IP Bus Out go to the D1.

    2. Do NOT Connect the Red Cable.

    Jason,

     

    Appreciate all the help. I am getting a D1. I have an '04 V6 Mustang with factory cruise control. Do you know where the VSS wire is? Is it necessary?

     

    Thanx

    The VSS Wire is a pain in the ass. You have to remove the passenger side running board, and then remove the kickpanel. Once you have that all apart, its a orange/white wire in a 100+ wiring harness. It's not required, but according to the manual it improves accuracy a considerable ammount and allows navigation when GPS Signal drops out. I wish I took pics, sorry.

    Hey Josh,

     

    It was very easy to install. Except of course the VSS Wire.

    I didn't have to modify anything.

    The D1 slid perfectly into place. I'm not sure how it will be in a 97 Cobra, but if it's like mine, it will be a piece of cake.

    I don't have access to a N2, but thats a good idea.

    To Upload a jpeg to the N2 you have to do the following:

       
1.Burn a CD-R (-RW) with the JPEG image(s) you desire to upload
2.Insert the CD-R (-RW) to the disc-loading slot.
3.Touch “Settings” in the Main menu, and then touch “Background Picture Setting”.The picture selected for each screen is indicated on the right side of “AV Background” and “Navigation Background” items.
4.Touch “Navigation Background” or “AV Background”.
5.Touch “Import from Disc”.The list of the pictures stored on the CD-R (-RW) is displayed.
6.Touch a picture you want for the background.
7.Select how to display the picture. "Center”: Selected picture is displayed at the center of the screen. “Repeat”: Selected picture is patterned, and displayed as covering the whole screen.
8.Touch “Done”

     

    I have heard that the DVD's have no copy protection and can be backed up. I will try it when I get a chance though.

     

    When you load a jpeg onto the N2, it loads it into the onboard memory, not the DVD. There is no way of getting a jpeg image from the N2 onto the D1.

    Thanks!

     

    I'm trying to set up a user photo gallery for this site, as well as a "How To" section so other people can not only show off their installs, but guide others with instructions.
