You need to buy a special connector to charge the 3G iPhone, and the newest iPods w/ the D3 there is a post about it in the iPhone/iPod section

enfig car stereo shop specializes in VW/Audi Stereo parts

From what I remember of my install it specifically says to solder the VSS wire. I know where I installed mine (behind instrument cluster) that cutting the VSS wire would cause major problems. Solder is going to work better for you anyways.

7th Gen is out it is only available in 120 GB.

D-series is discontinued would be my guess why they are focusing on the new models. Just like you wouldn't get updates for Windows 98 anymore

You probably would want to hook the Reverse wire up to a constant 12V source so that you could use the camera even if you are not in reverse

You have a ground loop. I would make sure you have a good solid ground (just because it is metal does not mean that it is a good ground) Make sure yolur ground spot is clean from anything but bare metal (paint, grease, carpet) If that doesn't help I would look at grounding your RCA's it is very easy and cheap. I would also recomend beefing up the big 3 under the hood. The last thing i would say is to use a Ground Loop Isolator but it effects sound quality and is more of a bandaid on gunshot wound.

I prefer DVD -R DL but you have to buy them online most of the time and the D3 (maybe more) prefer the DVD +R DL. I have been having trouble with my -R disc so I switched to Memorex +R and have had no problems. Which is unfortunate because I hate Memorex media.

Depends where you are from. In the US you could say that. In Canada it is not so much unless you are trying to sell it.

Yup. Will work

no just anti-apple in general. I guess i had more of a question as to weather that was a feature of the new maps or a bug specific to me more then it was me looking for product advice. Can anyone else comment on the question? did they take out the nice disc folder browsing feature or did i have a botched update? Thanks -Matt God forbid anyone answer the question. My guess is that most people have an iPod and therefor do not use their DVD drive for much more then movies and the Nav disc. I know that is the case with me

You need the previous generation (5.5) or older.

Checked it out last night. It is no iPhone but it would be the closest second of all of the ones I have seen. I am thinking about buying one to play round with but I wont ever get rid of my iPhone 3G

sorry I meant this link. http://avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=16474 which is very easily found on the first page of the iPod/iPhone section of the forum

It will work for music but for video you will need to buy the adapter from Apple that plugs into the docking port which has RCAs on it. I am not sure about if you can use the headphone jack cable like you can with the video and what not

Slower is usually better

http://avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=18781 will have information

1st Gen nano will charge. I also believe that the 2nd gen will charge. The latest gen went back to the long candybar style where the previous generation was short and fat.

Lightscribe is a technology that allows your burner to also put an image or text on the top side of the disc, if you of course have light scribe disc. I use lightscribe disc for things like Proposals I send to clients instead of writing on it with a sharpie. A Dual Layer disc has 2 layers that information is written on the disc. I am not sure if their are DL lightscribe disc but your burner should be able to burn Dual Layer disc

brand

there is an adapter made by Kingston that allows you to plug it in to the end of the ipod cable and then into the phone to support charging. It is $35.

I have the new DVDs on my server if you wanted to "test" them out before you bough them from Pioneer

all the iPods will work for music. New Nanos will not work w/ charging though
