Hi, Have D3 connected to pioneer bluetooth box and have successfully paired and connected with Evo 4G cellphone. Audio sounds great and phone works well even though I still haven't been able to get contacts list. On bluetooth audio screen you have play, pause, stop, previous, and next buttons. It seems to only play your songs list in order. Can it show song titles or playlists? Audio quality is great but I end up just hitting stop on the D3 screen and using my phone to control my songs, or pandora, etc. Thanks for any ideas to display or direct the d3 to play a certain playlist

Thanks for the reply ablackformula, That was my original solution but after testing dozens of wires under the dash (including the factory radio power supply) I still couldn't find one that was switched by key and stayed on when the key is turned to the start position. I tried them all including power ports, window circuits, a/c fan and various other circuits. They were either on full time or switch off momentarily when the key is moved to the start position. If you find one, please post it....

Greetings all, I built this unit from surplus parts to solve the problem of interrupting the booting sequence each time I start my diesel Ford Excursion. When you first turn the key in a diesel to heat the glow plugs, power is switched on to the audio/nav unit and it starts to boot, then in a few seconds you turn the key to start and it cuts power to the audio/nav interrupting the boot and it has to start over again when the key is released. I don't have any hard numbers but several installers that have had problems with pioneer audio/nav units recall many being in diesel vehicles

I have found that only true DVD video or DIVX files will play. I use a converter program to go from AVI, MPEG4, or other formats into DIVIX which plays great...
