This is an awesome app... too bad someone from Pioneer wont recognize this and maybe add it into AVICFeeds... Hhhhmmmm whatta concept!!! I like it!! Pssssttttt Pioneerare you reading this? lol

unfortunately for you... 2005 is the last year of the din and three-quarter opening. In 2006 on up they switched to the doubledin with the bump out on each side. That one will easily accept a double-din deck but you must purchase a new dash bezel from the dealership, it has to be the navigation bezel should be priced around $175. You can get a double din into your truck (I have done it if I can find the pictures I will post them) but it takes major modification of the factory dash bezel and sub-dash area, which is far more indepth of an install than what the average Best Buy would be abl

it thinks that it is a video input... because it is a video input please dont bag on pioneer because you didn't RTFM Bwahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!! ROTFLMFAO!!!!

Everything that 1loudls says is accurate... I have a Viper Remotestart as well and I actually use it everytime I get into my car to get the AVIC booting up so I get in and the music is playing Your other option is that since this is an occasional thing you could also use a standard Bosch SPDT relay and a normally open momentary switch to interrupt the acc wire on the AVIC to force it to reboot without having to loose all of your settings The relay will have 5 terminals on it they will be labeled as 30, 85, 86, 87, 87a cut the ACC wire behind the radio don't cut it too short cause you

The reason that you are not getting AM reception is that the vehicles with the roof mount antenna have an AM antenna that needs to be turned on... One antenna is for AM/FM the other is for Sat radio or radio data information depending on where your car is built for... Basically you need an adapter that has a 12v injector on it and that is what will turn on the AM reception Scosche makes a part that will do this for you (I assume that your A4 is a 2000 or newer) the part number is VWA4B this should do the trick for you!! Let me know if you have any other questions!

I"m in GB but don't want to be responsible for brickin your unit... if I damage mine its my own fault... but if i damage yours and you are paying me to work on it I am liable... I know what I am doing and not at all do I question my abilities... its just hat the possibilities are there What are you looking to do?

The only reason that they don't talk about compatibility with the SIR-PNR2 is that this unit is no longer produced and is replaced by the SCC1 and Pioneer translator... The SIR-PNR2 can still be purchased through some retail outlets but it is a gone when gone unit... when they are sold out there are no more!!

Has anyone used the POI expansion card for this unit? Has anyone tried to use it on multiple units? I have a customer that put this unit in more than one of his vehicles and he really doesn't want to have to buy two cards...

One "R" please My bad... the phone at work was yelling at me!!

Dear Two Idiots, Alright here it is... first off I will apologize in advance it has been awhile since I have worked on one of these so some of the details might be a little fuzzy... Dont be discouraged the new canbus networks suck I don't care who you are!! First find the amp and get to it... I think it is above the glove box towards the radio it is behind a plastic panel and is a pita to get to... the amp will have two plugs that plug into it one is the input and power connections the other is the speaker leads. Here are all the outputs from the amp Speaker 1 FL+ DARK GREEN/YELLOW C

So if the software bypass does not work.... My question is will the wire bypass still work? I assume it will but I just would like confirmation before I upgrade! Both bypasses work, in exactly the same manner as before. Excelent!!! Thanks for the input Borris!

A BAT!!! Read my sig, I got more then a bat, I would love to catch one of these bastards. It wouldn't even have to be my car. I would just like to catch one breaking into anyone's car. A Factory alarm is just a glorified noise maker!!! Even Aftermarket alarms are only good if people pay attention to them... I had my AVIC-D3 stolen out of my car in my work parking lot, it is in a mall area which is very high traffic (people and cars) I have a high end pager alarm on my vehicle. Teh sad news was that my keys were in my toolbox and by the time I heard the pager going off and got out to

So if the software bypass does not work.... My question is will the wire bypass still work? I assume it will but I just would like confirmation before I upgrade!

I will be purchasing the update on payday but I have multiple units to upgrade... and now I have to figure out which one I want to upgrade cause $70 per unit kinda sukx... So I will have a legit copy but I want to be able to put it on multiple units of mine if possible!

Of those of you that got it today... Did anyone install it yet? Does it look like you will be able to install it on multiple units? Has anyone tried to install it on multiple units? Is it all its cracked up to be? If it requires a product key and activation... has anyone tried to build a keygen? Just curious... I know that I am not the only one thinking these questions! Thanx

Unfortunately with the design of this product Pioneer did not build in an IR sensor... So a remote will not work in any way shape or form Believe me I was heart broken when I heard that news!! So even though the modules are expensive that will be your only way to get external controll. Peripherial offers a nice piece called the PSEWIPS and the newest updated version (comes in a cardboard box not plastic packaging) even offers some options for programming to uses your steering wheel controlls to do phone functionality. Basically you can program each button to do any one of the like 12ish

I'm sure there are _some_ Best Buy employees who know something. I just have never seen one. And BB's business practices are well known, too... Fair play to ya... I have seen things change ALOT in the last couple of years and even more change within the last couple of quarters, and if you continue to get poor service then I apologize and ask that you hold tight cause things are currently in transition! As for the person with the trim ring... were you able to track one down?

Yes 50mA is very low... I am not sure what the draw is on the screen but if you want to set up a fairly simple way to shut off the power to the accy on the head unit you can use a momentary (spring loaded push button) switch and a SPDT relay to do your interrupt. Here is how... On the relay there will be terminals labeled 30, 85, 86, 87, and 87a. Take the Accy output from the vehicle and connect it to the 86 and 87a. Then take the 30 and connect that to the Accy input to the headunit. Leave the 87 not connected to anything but make sure that you insulate that terminal so it cannot touc

Really? No it does not turn it off it just turns the screen off... but the unit is still alive and fully functional.

Is it a Normally open or Normally closed Momentary Switch? because that will determine what way you will have to wire it up... and depending on how you wire it up the Amperage will not matter. Aftermarket momentary switches in the automotive industry are generally Normally open... which means that the circuit is connected when the switch is pressed in and there is no connection at rest.

If it is a thick snap on trim ring then the trim ring that you are looking for comes inside of the ADT-VA133 2DIN Install Kit... this is a part that Pioneer markets as a separate product in the states... this kit comes with the sleeve, the trim ring, screws and the Ford/VW removal keys. Price on it stateside is about $40... I know for a fact that the cost is substantially less... maybe $10 bucks or less on average Or if it is flat then it is the same trim ring that comes in EVERY other Double-Din Non-Navi unit that Pioneer offers. As for the comment about Best Buy employees... All I

Yes the installer is correct!!! ANY Factory installed sat brain is going to be propriety to the factory head unit... unfortunately for your situation you will have to purchase the Pioneer CD-SB10 $70 and the Sirius SCC1 $85(Universal tuner) built by Directed Electronics. Or you can get ahold of one of the old skool Pioneer SIR-PNR2 $100 (but kinda outdated) And if you are having it professionally installed $250 is mostly a fair price for install of the screen, GPS Antenna, BT Mic, Sirius translator, Sirius brain, and Sirius Antenna.

Its all good bro.... Thats why this forum is the greatest... Share the knowledge!!!

Yep thats it... MisFit is right... if the wire is there... sometimes it isn't

The complication comes in from the D3 hardware being severely limited in what it can do... It has an extremely limited flash memory built into it (thats why the maps are all still on two DVD roms)
