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

There is a wire from your avic that hoooks up to the reverse wire of your vehicle (you need to use the wire from the avic harness because it has a resistor which I believe cuts the voltage to 5 volts instead of 12) and the camera will have a separate power wire that needs to see a 12volt source which you can wire directly to your reverse wire of your vehicle. This way, when you put your vehicle in reverse the camera will turn on and the avic will switch to the correct video input.

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

I've dealt with other N series backups and the size on the east and west disks were about the same. Why is the East on these ISO's almost twice as big?

West coast is Zipped and Compressed with free software 7zip

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.

DL- or DL+ ?

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.

Call me crazy but isn't this slightly illegal aka pirating links up on avic411?

 

I mean they charge you 120 bucks for a reason and im sure its not because of the disc's their printed on.

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

hey yeah i would like a copy how can i get it from you

 

or you could see if jlong would let you use his ftp server to let some people download it. and that is if he would let you. but i am sure that he would.

Upload away

I'm anti-Microsoft .. but broke down and got an XBOX 360 .. and am enjoying it ... Even if you are anti-Apple .. I recommend an iPod. I could not imagine my D3 without one ...

 

mbegan buy an iPod and don't worry about it or listen to satellite radio or regular radio. Are you against Apple for making products that 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

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

So the newer IPOD video wont work? I was about to order a 160GB from Apple will it work? here is a link:

if not....which classic (video) will work?

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

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.

I have a lightscribe dvd+-writter/ cd writter. Will this work for burning onto a dual layer dvd?? from what I'm reading on the net lightscribe and dual layer are different???

 

thanks

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
