There's a post floating around here about an install in a lambo. Was done in northern jersey might want to check that shop out.

The camera will work when you back up and if you want to check on a trailer while going forward.

Make sure it's enabled in the setup menu.

year/make/model of the vehicle?

That would be correct.

1. Reverse wire goes to avic

2. Ignition power to camera

3. ground to camera

4. video wire from camera to avic.

moved.

What year is the gti and vue?

The solid black coming from the avic harness goes to ground. The solid black from the nissan harness just tape up, along with the other 3.

ok so how do you bypass the z3? I don't understand

If I have an Apline deck previously installed, I don't need to get another harness right?

Nope.

What?

The camera has a connector that's about the size of a penicl eraser. In it are 2 or 3 extremely small wires depending on what camera. He cut the plug off and spliced the wires together. Not my favorite thing to do, but whatever works I guess.

Hi guys. I've searching until I was blue in the face, but still have questions. I am retarded with this stuff, so if you answer, imagine you are talking to a kid hahah

 

To let you know what I am trying to accomplish - I have a non-Bose 350Z, I want to install PAC SWIPS and no rear view camera.

 

1) on the PAC SWIPS - how do I connect the resistors to the white wire? Solder them all together?

One end solder to the white wire, the other end solder to the wire in the vehicle.

1a) It says: Red wire: Connect the INTERFACE's red wire to a switched +12volt wire. This is usually a red wire on the aftermarket wire kit."

The red wire with the black fuse holder on the harness, tie that to the red wire from the avic harness.

2) The solid blue "Antenna Control" from the AVIC harness to the solid blue Nissan harness...should I just cut the little metal thing at the end of the Antenna Control and solder them together?

Cut it off and solder together

3) I still have a few wires left over after soldering most of them together. I have a solid black and orange w/ black stripe left on one pig tail. And on the other pig tail I have a black w/ white and a blue w/ white. Where do these go?

All three get taped up, don't need them.

4) Still have a pink wire on the AVIC harness called "Car Speed Signal Input"...I've seen this discussed, but I keep getting turned around in circles. Does this hook up to the VSS?

Yes that pink wire is the one that goes to the vss wire in the car.

5) Other than the Yellow w/ black Mute wire that I have gounded, do I need any of the other Audio inputs if I don't have an amp or anything like that?

Nope. Just so you know though. The black ground wire, the mute wire, and the parking brake wire should be gorunded to steel behind the radio, and NOT the wire harness you bought.

Thanks again everyone. This site has been helpful with everything else. And yes, I should've just paid someone to install it for me

Possibly, we'll see how you make out.

Bad ground or no power on the yellow wire then.

The volume level on the ipod doesn't matter. I beleive neither does the eq settings.

wouldn't you rather stare at the road?

What fun is that? Watching the radio is much more entertaining.

Get an ipod.

Seconded.

Thirdeded.

Do you have sound when playing a cd? If not then you have to change the antenna setting from radio to source.

since the post on 8thgencivic is being wonky. There's some cut'n'pastes from the original article here. Turns out the kids a tool and actually knew and signed off on most of the modifications. Oh and no way in hell does splicing into the stock RADIO harness constitute a firehazard..... people are dumb.

I guarantee you they disassembled the entire dash just to replace the piece of heater duct the guys melted with the heat gun. Probably where most of the labor went.

 

And why do they even mention that they installed the GPS antenna on the inside of the car instead of the outside? That doesn't matter one bit. In most cases, it's just as good, and sometimes better.

Especially since in some honda/acuras the factory gps antenna is inside the vehicle....

hOLY SHIT, APOST FROM PAISAN!

Huh? What? Where? shit!

Short Circuit 1 much? I didn't ignore your pms, been busy at work and my net access at home is limited to whenever the neighbor turns on their wireless router. So no posty much.

Jimmy - Didn't have time to go down your way. I lost a day and a half to the flu so we had to condense a lot what I wanted to do. Oh and yes we did have some fun in germany . And she even got one of those $8 hotdogs. Hopefully we'll at least have the honeymoon pics up in the next week or so. For those that have myspace, here's a link to the pics my brother took at the wedding.

there's enough of these type posts please add to them.

it's not a required connection, but it does help with accuracy. Especially if the system looses gps lock for any reason.

Welcome, couple tips for you.

 

1. No usable illumination wire at the radio, mean you'll have to run a tap to the brown wire at the light siwtch so the avic dims at night.

bingo

blue wire in pic goes to the blue wire of the d3's harness.

I had my D3 professionally installed today. The installers were wondering about the same issue (although I had mine installed conventionally-no DVD viewing while in motion). I don't know who they called, but they said that the D3 employs an internal gyroscope that sense motion and cuts off the DVD playback when the car is moving.

installers are dumb... 3 stickies in the hacks/mods section for bypass.
