  1. the subwoofer shouldnt be making any loud sound....what exactly have you done so far???
  2. you mean the sirius antenna and the factory antenna? either way, i havent been following up on the F series (personally i think its overrated) but if they havent confirmed it already, im sure theyll make somethin like this http://cgi.ebay.com/SIRIUS-CONNECT-SATE ... dZViewItem even if you did manage to splice them together, i dont think youd be able to control it thru the unit. with that piece if/when they make it youd be able to
  3. regardless, youre all missing the major point.....he wanted a price match 2 WEEKS AFTER HE BOUGHT THE D3!!! wat store will refund him the balance 2 weeks after the purchase!!! thats why i said wrap back up like it was brand new. and return it, because best buy will return opened items and long as it has everything it came with....so get ur money back, and then goto circuit city, and buy the d3 for cheaper!! end of useless topic
  4. Circuit City and Best Buy were the same price when I bought it ($699). A couple weeks later CC dropped it $100. Darryl so then no1 would make the same "mistake" you did, cuz its cheaper at circuit city now Yes. And to be aware of this policy for any future purchases through BB Online. Sorry this post has turned into a "shopping" post instead of a D-3 post. Darryl ya, im sure this should be in the 'off topic' category but whatever. and for the record, i dont even own a D3, i have a z1 wit a z3 drive. but you made it seem like you expected $100 back because cir
  5. Circuit City and Best Buy were the same price when I bought it ($699). A couple weeks later CC dropped it $100. Darryl so then no1 would make the same "mistake" you did, cuz its cheaper at circuit city now
  6. ya and you bought it like 2 weeks ago and CC jus lowered the price now? what kinda policy did u expect, $100 back or somethin cuz CC put it on sale?
  7. not needed if you can prevent shorting out. electrical tape is a good enough barrier
  8. haha dont ya hate that? gettin all worried only to find out it was a minimal problem?
  9. the d3 is a simple 2 wire bypass, deffinitly worth the 5 minutes installing it
  10. why would you want to,its illegal its also a great way to stay awake if your on a long drive. speeding is illegal too but every1 does that too, and how many people really wear their seatbelts? or drive while talkin on ur cell phone? just be responsible with it and you'll be fine
  11. idk how it is by you but with the audio stuff walmarts over here carry, id be shocked if they carried any custom piece like that....their most prized item is like a jensen lcd flip-up. im not rly sure of the yr for the exp but when i opened it up the guy used thin l-shaped copper tabs, and mounted it with them. idk im sure you have a good point wit the mods needed jus it was a very messy job. and i meant the connector 2 on the avic.
  12. agreed. invest in some armorall wipes and a vacuum
  13. very true on good and bad installers. some1 i know had a D3 installed in an expedition, & the guy completely half-assed it. he didnt use the right mounting brackets, he chopped up the inside of the dash, and he didnt even install one of the connectors!! but dont places like CC and best buy only use what the stores carry in stock?
  14. you'd hafta buy the dash kit and bring it to them to even have a chance at them installing it. i had somethin liek that happen to me, i didnt feel like installing the avic so i called an audio store and for 10 minutes i was arguing wit the guy cuz he didnt believe that there was a dash kit for the 8.
  15. haha no way! i got homing missles under the 8 with headlight turrets!! all on 18's
  16. Well what do you expect. He drives an Escalade. I wouldn't be any more surprised if he drove a Hummer. cmon now, no stereotypes, my aunt drives an escalade and theres no 26's on there or 15 dvd players (1 tho ) or 2 avics lol
  17. ya, kinda gotta agree. a kickin stereo system is one thing, but a kickin system, a z, a d3, and multiple dvd players, plus screens?? to each is his own, but thats jus too much attention for your own good man
  18. i have the z1 in my car right now, and my sisters bf has the voyager too...we tried pairing them and they wouldnt, but there are people on here claiming theyve done it. granted u have a d3, not a z1, but you never know!
  19. i know how you feel...unless you know beforehand how it comes apart it always seems harder than when it really is...all the screws and clips are mean to be out of sight. personally i cant help you do that because im in NY, but heres 2 things i found that may assist you in the removal if you decide to DIY: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/How_do_you_re ... railblazer http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/t586456.html see, the thing about best buy and circuit city is, yes the installers all have degrees in auto-electronics, but they get alot of cars in on a daily basis...they dont take
  20. itd cost you roughly $20-$30 less to buy an unlocked z3 drive on ebay. and it comes with all the 08 maps
  21. what exactly are you having trouble with?? installing it from start to finish, or simply bypassing it? either way save your money! --if your looking to install it, you can buy a wiring harness for ur chevy. circuit city, best buy, places like that (or online) sell them vehicle specific, and on the wrapper it tells you wat each color wire is...simply match them up with the wires from the unit (the installation manual from the d3 tells you as well). it costs you AT MOST $20, and its very simple. plus ud be spending more if you paid some1 else to do it lol --if your looking to just bypass
  22. not to mention if hes grounding it out, not just relocating it, then he probably didnt alter the mute wire either, so yes youll probably hafta take it apart again
  23. i gotcha man, see im the complete opposite. aside from hacking programs and downloading music im comuter illiterate. but i can rewire an entire car blindfolded...and ive actually done the 2 wire bypass, a friend of myne has the D3, which is the same bypassing method. took me all of 20 minutes start to finish to install and bypass his unit
