whitesmoke

sorry to everyone that has sent me requests. since i installed my d3 i have been mia on these forums. i will try and do more backgrounds next week when i get free time.

i love my d3 but a couple things i would change (i know some of them are very minor)... 1. even more important than the song title display on sirius for me would be putting the station names on the preset buttons. 2. When you hide ipod controls i wish the artist was listed first and the song title was second. 3. album art 4. visualizations

ummm...ok

since it is a video source i am going to say yes...but that is just a guess

so i pretty much use the ipod all the time on my new d3 so i decided to make a little background that looks good under the ipod controls. after numerous attempts i finally came up with something that works...so here is what i came up with... [img]http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w24/whitesmoke3663/curvesdone.jpg[/img] when you are viewing the ipod controls the ipod wheel now has a nice red and white ring around it. when you hit the hide button the red curves become visible and the song title and info is in a nice little box on the bottom. i even threw in a little dropshadow for the

the thought of having to take the whole unit out again = ignoring the humming. argh

I install;ed my system last week and have not been having any problems. Today I opened the dash up again to go ahead and run a wire from the illumination wire on the unit over to my headlight switch (2006 VW rabbit) b/c there is no illumination wire that runs to the factory HU. The unit now dims like it is supposed to when I turn on my headlights however, as soon as I flip on my headlights my sub begins to hum. The humming is very quiet and only noticable without the engine running. The hum stops as soon as I turn off the headlights. Any ideas?

i see. i guess from my point of view i was planning on taking the dash pice out. the i was going to screw the d3 into the cage. slide the cage into place. then i could lift the tabs from the outside of the cage. i can understand how it would not be possible if you did not remove the dash piece from the car. i will call cc today and see what they have to say.

interesting...one line on page 86 calls the box below the radio station for "current radio text"

dont you mount the cage with the metal tabs? so i am apparently more clueless than i thought. anyone with a pic can help clear things up. so where do i purchase the brackets? if circuit city had the cage do they prob also have the brackets? this is more annoying than i had anticipated...why do they not include the crap with the $1000 stereo....lame

argh....i just got the cage. i thought the cage screwed into the unit. i guess i will call them back tomorrow and see if they have the brackets. does anyone have a pic of the d3 in a cage? is the cage supposed to have screw holes on the side b/c the sides of my cage are all solid

I picked up what I believe is a D2 cage from circuit city today and will be installing my D3 on Friday. Other than drilling the 4 screw holes on each side of the cage is there anything else I need to do to the cage? I would like to prepare the cage before the install but I am right to assume that I will have to set it in my dash before I can know how far out I want to unit to stick before I go and drill holes in the cage? Also is anyone else a bit annoyed that the trim piece that comes with the D2 is about 1cm too tall for it to fit flush all the way around the unit? I figured the fit would ha
