  1. What does "create a folder mean"? Can you explain that in detail? Just kidding. Going to try it now, thank you.
  2. I've read the custom background thread (over 10K views, amazing) and it seems like a lot of work. I remember reading somewhere where the D3 allows you to upload your own photos and it was suppsoed to be very simple. Any one know how? Also, what size to make them for the D3.
  3. First thing you do is follow the bypass instructions! Putting your address is kind of easy. All the letters are alphbetical, not QWERTY which does take some getting used to. Once you put an address in, you can save it for future use or just go to it once and that's it. Accuracy? Most of the time it's off by 30 feet. Once in a while it's off by 3 feet. Sometimes she's off by 50 yards then corrects by itself after you drive a lil bit. Reroute? It's kind of slow, not immediate (I hate to admit this, but Garmin on my Sprint PCS phone was quicker on the reroute) but it will not tell
  4. Google is your friend. Torrents are your friend. Bit Comet is also your friend. Any program you need is a google, torrent away. What program would you need? Other then a normal burning prog. If you go to Nero or download.com you can find a free trial that will work. With a little searching (or polite asking) you could get the password for your nero and ....... Seek & ye shall find.
  5. That is EXACTLY what I did. I purchased the crappy/cheap $10 cam off of ebay (what's the worse that can happen, I'm out $20 bucks including shipping????) and I will let everyone know how it works.
  6. Went back to installer, explained to him that radio doesn't "dim" when the lights come on and he told me that people hate it when that happens, so he never does it and never asks. Took him 5 minutes, badabing, now when the lights come on the radio dims. This site kicks ass.
  7. For a second I thought I'd get banned when I seen you reply. BUT! I guarantee you somebody will buy & pay for it.
  8. I dont understand this. Why paint chips? OK, when most of us were kids (people old enough to drive cars and afford thousand dollar radios) the paint had lead in it, unlike today. If you ate paint chips as a child, you'd be very slow & stupid. So, coocho. Have you ever tried paint chips as a child?
  9. Ford F250 2006 I appreciate your help.
  10. Yeah. Why? (Tommy Boy) Why did I ask for money? To make the auction look legit, so ebay would not take it off. I had to make this auction look 100% legit. I tried it last night and I said "DO NOT PAY ME HERE IS THE INFO FOR FREE!" And this morning the auction was flagged and cancelled. This way, there is no violation. No way to kill the auction. It looks legitmate, yet the info is right there in your face. Sorry for using the photo. I should have asked. But since it was given here freely, I figured I'd use a larger forum to spread the word about this site. Sorry if I F'd up.
  11. CHemi: That's the point bro! I already gave them the information. I already provided the link to the bypass. Who is going to buy it? Who is going to pay for it? I already passed out the information freely! JasonH: I am not selling it! I am giving it away. Since it is against ebay policy to give crap away for free or to tell them not to pay for the auction, I created this auction to make it look legit so they will not cancel the auction as a violation of it's terms. Guys, look at the auction! I am providing a link to the bypass right there on the screen. I am providing a link to this f
  12. DO NOT BAN ME! Read the auction, then you'll see that I already gave away the information with links and a photo. I was going to say DO NOT PAY ME, but that will violate ebays terms and they will cancell the auction. So, this way, it gets to stay up for 10 days. If something like this will get me banned, then please let me know and I will cancell the auction. Ebay item: 170088879653 AGAIN! If this will get me banned, then just let me know and the auction is cancelled. It's not about money it's about getting the information to people who need it.
  13. I downloaded the user manual for the D3 from the link on this site (thank you) and I remember reading someplace where the unit is supposed to dim and the map is supposed to change color when the headlights are on. Is this true? My unit does not do that. At night the display is BLINDINGLY bright. Anybody know where my installer F'd up? So I can explain to him how to wire the unit correctly. Everything else seems to work, vechicle dynamics, the speedo on the map, etc. But the brightness would be very cool and would save me a minute (and even an accident) if it did it automatically.
  14. Thank you. I was waiting for some smartass reply. I appreciate it and am ordering it. Again thank you. Also, thanks for the bypass. Works perfectly.
  15. A grand for a radio? Fine, it's something that will get major use. $30.00 for an ipod cable? No worries, it's going to be used often. One fifty or more for a back up cam? That will only be used in the tightest of parking spaces or to show off with my friends? Gimmie the $10.00 cam off ebay (if it will work). So, will the cheapy crappy $10 cam off of ebay work as a rear view? Don't need precision, don't need clear pic, just need to see if my F250 is going to hit the fancy 3 series parked behind me.
  16. I live in Los Angeles, as anyone from here knows there are 90 different ways to get to any one destination. Not nearly as bad as NYC, but worse then any other city I've lived in (Boston, Miami, Chicago, Vegas, etc.) It's dead on. I've only had it for 48 hours, but it's incredibly precise with it's directions. I've did 4 trips with it (multiple stops, I knew exactly where I was going each time) and I can't say that it gave me the wrong directions or route. It even showed me a few short cuts. The "left turn ahead" could be a little faster in my opinion. It would be nice if the thousand d
  17. Does the CD-SR1 work on the D3? Yes, I searched. No really. There was one question asked and nobody answered it.
  18. This is my first navi system (other then Garmin that is on my cell phone) and from what I see, this thing is great. A complaint? Sure, it doesn't say the street name. It says right turn in 3 10ths of a mile, but will not say the name of the street. Don't know if there is a fix for this in the settings. Not a deal breaker, but it would be nice. Considering the cell phone Garmin did it. XM radio I purchased was a refurb, and the unit is ON! All the stations, free of charge! WOOO HOOO! No nav traffic. I was more then willing to pay $17 per month for the service and the nav traffic, but no
  19. DOH! Should have thought about the google thing before I asked my question. Then again, Google images didn't know squat crap about the D3. I found about about it when I was searching (this forum) for a D2 hack.
  20. Sorry if this has been asked before, but..... My D3 is going to be here today (I am waiting at the window with my laptop for the UPS truck) and the only thing that I don't like is the single DVD/CD slot. Now, I do have an Ipod, so it's not like I'm going to be using CDs all the time, but I had a thought. Is it possible to load the DVD map software onto a HD, then have it connect to the D3 via BlueTooth? I also have an Ipod question: Is the CD-I200 the best way to hook it up? Can I watch vids from my Ipod onto the D3 with that cable? Or should I go with that other box (forgot th
  21. Since I am out close to a grand for the D3, I think I'll pass on that single din CD/MP3. Just a thought, very immoral, but that's the type of guy I am. I've noticed that Crutchfield offers a 30 day money back guarantee on anything they sell. I've also noticed that Dell and every other company that does this will give you a partial refund to keep you happy with their merchandise. Example? I just spend 3K on a laptop from Dell. I called them 10 days after it arrived and said I didn't like it and I am going with a Gateway because it was better for the money I spend. They offered me $50 bu
