Thanks guys.

I have a question. I have a video iPod 5thgen I guess and it has firmware 1.2.1, iTunes is asking me to upgrade to 1.3. Right now it works fin on the D3, has anyone had a problem with thiers on the 1.3 update? Thanks guys.

Damn the dude comes in looking for a disk and the vultures come out.

That's exactly what I thought when I read it. I hope it is a firmware update to fix the iPod menu bug. Other then that bug I have no real issues with the unit and I don’t understand why anyone would “upgrade†to an f900.

HAHAHA. No thanks I will avoid NYC like the plauge!!

Yep, bypassed and working. I think it is as PaisanNYC pointed out, there is only incident information and not traffic flow in my area. Sucks!

Ok I see now. That is a real bummer, that was the main selling point for me. Oh well atleast I got a good deal on it. Thanks for the info.

Ok I am a little confused about NavTraffic. I live in Richmond, VA and when I go to XM coverage page they say that my area has coverage. http://www.xmradio.com/navtraffic/market_coverage.xmc But the traffic icon in the AV menu is grayed out as is the “traffic on route†button in the info/route options. I have the traffic icon on the map screen and I receive text information about traffic conditions like lane closes, etc. I do see text that traffic is moving fine but it is in DC; when I look at it on the map I see green lines on the map. I found this info in another thread “Y

Under the back glass with the nav antenna on the metal pad.

I bought a GEX-P10XMT from a dude on another forum and it still has a few months of service left on it. I have never had XM before, it is pretty sweet and the NavTraffic rocks. On my way home tonight it showed me there was a blocked lane on the highway. Anyways I just thought I would share, I know this is a crappy cellphone pic but I am real happy with this D3 now that I have all the cables hooked up and the calibration straightened out.

What is this noise issue? I have a video ipod and I do not get it. I am just wondering what it sounds like.

LOL ya your post never showed. I that showed was you quoting me. I got the VSS wire hooked up tonight, now everything is complete.

I wish you would have told me that two days ago, that would have saved me a lot of grief...LOL. I thought you were talking about the reset button. We finally figured out lastnight how to clear those values out as you mentioned. No biggy it is all good now, thanks for the help.

Do you mean with the reset button? If so I reset it many times, both with the key off and in the acc postion. I also set it back to factory from inside the menu options, It never cleared the calibration information. Yes Balls on accurate.

Ok CatchMeIfYouCan631 is right, some information I found on this issue on the mustang forums: * Shaker/Skipper 500 is a 6 speaker setup (4 speakers + 2 front subs); * each front sub is powered by it's own amp; * Shaker 500 has only ONE set of sub outputs (i.e. two mono subs running off one set of inputs); -->This<-- PDF shows the Shaker 500 connection diagram. Pins 1 & 2 on connector J4 is the mono output of the bass on the Shaker 500, for the Shaker 1000 the rear subs would be 5 & 6 though not show here. If you look at THIS schematic you can see how the the fro

Well I got mine sounding better, it was all in the sound fields and EQ. I think I will get a Y-splitter though because if you are right we are not getting bass from both left and right sides. I am going to research that some more before I do it but i think you might be right.

YES we have success!!! The problem was that it was in 3D Hybrid calibration mode. My brother truck had the VSS wire in the harness and I remember reading in the manual that you had to have that wire to be in 3D hybrid mode. My bro realized that could be cleared and the unit went into simple hybrid mode…boom after a few traveled miles it is balls on accurate!! Put that one in the memory banks fellas incase someone else has a similar problem.

So you are saying the white RCA and corresponding blue wire are for the door subs and their amp, while the red RCA and corresponding blue wire is for the shaker 1000 trunk subs and amp? Since I have a shaker 500 all that needs hook up is the white RCA from the pre-out on the HU and the corresponding blue needs to come from the output of the 5V regulator. That is what I have expect that I have both blue wires going to the regulator and the red RCA hooked up as well. Since I don’t have the shaker 1000 it should not matter if those wires are hooked up at the harness because the red RCA an

The "rear sp" option is set to full and the "preout" option is set to "Sub W" intead of full. From what I see when you change the rear SP to full then the rear speakers act as sub woofers. Also if the preout option is set to full then the woofer controls become labeled non fading and you lose the sub woofer controls.

Ok thanks. I think the first thing I will do is put the antenna outside of the vic and see if that makes a difference and then go from there. Thank you guys for the assistance.

Ok wait a minute, your post is a little confusing to me, let me tell you how I hooked it up and we can go from there. First off, yes I wired in the (Radio Shack #7805) 5V voltage regulator for the amp turn on signal, no popping noise at all. As for the speaker connections; I hooked up both red and white RCA connections from the sub amp to the sub pre-out on the HU. I also hooked up both set rear speaker wires, the set of green for the left and the set of violets for the right. Does this sound right? The fronts and the subs sound fine, but the rears sound deep and muddy. They sound

I got your humor, hence the "Why I adda." HiFiSi, yes I have reset it several times. What are some of the things that might cause the unit to think it is going a difference direction? Does the unit have internal gyros or does it work soley on satellite signals?

Why I adda!!!!! I was really wondering if it mattered which way the antenna was facing, but i guess it doesn't matter.

Luvrbcs, Do you have a 05+ Mustang or is this just a common problem with this head unit?

I will have to try putting it outside and see what the deal is. I bought it from my brother, he had it in his Chevy pickup. The unit is about 5 months old and he said he never had a problem with it, the only difference is that he had the antenna outside. I was looking at the compass on the unit and the one on my mirror and they are 180 degrees out. That is why the unit doesn't know where it is, when I am going north it thinks I am going south. I do have aftermarket suspension parts, lowering springs, adjustable shocks/struts that I have adjusted to a stiff ride, drivetrain stiffing
