Yes, that's where I've been looking and as you'll notice, there is no listing for what I want, or even parts of what I want.

To be pedantic, there is no such thing as the "nano chromatic." That's apple's cute little marketing slogan for the new color spectrum of iPod Nanos. So, you have an iPod Nano. And no, it won't charge - its the newest model and uses the USB charging circuit rather than the older firewire one. You can buy a converter for about $15, or the Griffin model for $30.

I bought a used AVIC-D3 and it works fine, but the faceplate is in kind of nasty shape. Its scratched up, has gooey crap on the corners... just unpleasant to look at. I've tried all the parts search websites, but I can't find the actual faceplate... anyone have a part number or a source to buy it from?

I did a test run with the D3, only power installed and no remote turn on wire hooked up, so my amps were off, and I drove from my house to Sears (about a 15 minute drive) with the unit on the whole way. When I came back from Sears (10 minutes in the store), I put the key in and put it in the on position to prime the fuel pump. I knew immediately what happened... pump started to fill, normal ding, lights dim a little and DAMNIT! Battery is dead. Click, click. I unhook the harness to the D3 and still click, click. I pop the trunk (its a bmw, battery is in the trunk) and get ready to have to jump
