Okay. I'm a dumbass! I didn't know that if you touch the screen, there is an option for Music. I was stuck on the video screen. All is good now. Everything works perfect!

Alright! This is really starting to p me off. I purchased a brand new 160GB Ipod and it doesn't work with the D3. The screen on the D3 says to see the Ipod for operation. I began searching on here to see what the problem was. I read that I need a 5th generation Ipod and everything will work fine. So I purchase a 5th generation refurbished Ipod from Apple. Same crap. The screen says see the IPOD for full operation. What happened to my on screen controls on the D3? I can get video to play from the IPOD but I have to do it from the IPOD. I also can get the IPOD to play music but again...I have to do it from the IPOD. Why can't I get the D3 screen to show the song playing and controls? I have tried rolling back the firmware on the 5th gen IPOD but it won't let me. Can someone please help me with this? I am beginning to pull my hair out here. I have searched and searched and have found no answers. When I orginally put the D3 in my truck, I had a 5 year old IPOD that worked flawlessly. I couldn't play video but the music worked great. That IPOD finally died so I purchased the new 160GB IPOD and now all I have had is problems. Why can't this sh$% just work like it is supposed to?

This would be so much easier and look so much better if we had the original backgrounds. Then we could just cut and paste any logo on there.

We'll, I already pm'd the original poster days ago with no response as of yet. I went ahead and photochopped it the best I could. I have no idea what I am doing but would like to.

Can you please remove the VW logo from this one and insert the Toyota logo? Thanks.

Th amount of time he spent pming and bitching, he could have pulled the face of his little Ford dash and done the bypass himself.

Ralph-

Why don't you just give it shot? Grab the bezel like MisFit said and pull it off. If it comes right off like he says, then the hard part is over. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.....

"get the sand out of your vagina"

I about fell off my chair when I read that. That is exactly what I would say to one of my friends. Why is this puss posting on here? You guys have outlined to a T on how to do the bypass.

Great lookin' Jetta! Love those cars! My wife drives a Touareg.

I figured out what the problem was. I was creating my disk with Vista and it was putting a thumbs file in the pictures folder. Somehow this was messing things up. I created a disk with XP and it worked fine.

Okay, I made a CD with a folder named "PICTURES" and put 19 pictures in there. When I put it in the D3, it tells me that there is no directory on the disk with the name "PICTURES". What the heck is the problem here?

Well, I got lucky. They had the cable in the back. Don't know why it wasn't in the box but anyhooo....I got the cable. By the way, I asked the service counter what the policy is with an "open box" and if it is missing cables and they told me that if it is missing cables, they will open another box and give me what I need.

I'm on my way to pulling the stereo out one more time. Next issue is getting the stereo to see a CD-R with pictures on it. It keeps telling me that I don't have a pictures directory on the disk when I know for a fact that I do.

Thanks, I will go to Best Buy today and demand that harness. I don't know why I buy the open box deals. I always screw myself!

I just pulled my D3 out of the dash to reroute the mute wire and found that I am not using the white plug shown in the tutorial. I am using the black plug. I purchased this stereo from Best Buy as an open box unit and it did not unclude the white a/v in/out cable. Should it have? Is there a mute wire on the black a/v in/out cable? Where can I reroute this to? Someone please help me out here. Thanks.

So by moving the mute wire and then grounding it I will no longer get this message: "System detected improper connection of parking brake lead"

at startup? Thanks in advance for clarifying this.

Did you ever get this figured out? I am getting the same message on my D3. I did nothing with the mute wire. Everything works fine but I still get this message on startup. I installed in a Toyota Tundra. I don't understand what the mute wire has to do with anything.
