On my setup, I have an Xbox feeding the rear LCD. That way, the rear can have Xbox source the DVD or game, and the front can have the same or something else. The sound goes with whatever the front is doing. The rear LCD has wireless headphones for the kids, but we dont use them much...
Here's a pic:

I decided to work around the problem like this. I cut the wires to the rear speakers, and wired them into the D3 speaker outputs. Now they are playing strong again. Thanks for all your help!

Good info - thanks everyone!

Dash & Center Console removal instructions:
http://www.elcovaforums.com/forums/show ... emove+dash
Not that difficult.
Thanks man, I've got that exercise down pat, and can get the console and radio out in 10 minutes. I never noticed the amp anywhere inside the console, that's the mystery to me. Neat hummer forum site! I searched there and didn't find anything about the amp...

Thanks, I was afraid of that!

You have both front and rear rca outputs connected to the gmos front and rear outputs, right? Some bose systems only use the front input, i thought mine was one of them, i had your problem, i fixed it by hooking up the rear, turns out mine requires both inputs, a lot of bose do to.
No just the fronts are connected per the install instructions. I tried connecting the rear and it stopped making any sound at all. Had me worried a few minutes that I messed something up.
After I disconnected and restarted everything, it returned to normal. Hey installthis06, why would that idea not work? Just wondering.
Yeah LV_H2, let me know about your fader. Right now my mid and rear sounds like some weak surround sound, but that's par for the course from what I'm reading about the gmos-04 adapter.
ThanksAnyone know where the Bose amp is found?
-
I'm pretty sure I have it installed right. The front passengers have good sound, but the mid and rear speakers sound weak. This module doesnt support fader. The factory stereo fader was balanced front/rear when I removed it. I have this idea to make it better.
The D3 RCA outs for rear are unused. Maybe there's enough power there to drive the mid/rear speakers, and make them louder? Can anyone tell me where is the Bose amp? I was thinking of disconnecting the rear speakers from the Bose amp, and run them direct into the D3 RCA rear outs. What do you think?
Thanks in advance!

The only issue I ever had with my setup of iPod 80gb + D3, was when I rock the music loud, the volume starts fading in/out badly. Like it was overloaded. It may be the combination of extra bass in the iPod eq settings? I dunno but it's frustrating, because the factory radio + CD can rock at MAX volume but my iPod + D3 can't...

I've got one EAST disc, still in the factory sealed wrapper. How about $25 shipped?

Update: Pix of AVIC-D3 stolen
It really sucks when you work hard on something then some jackass has to ruin it. I've got insurance to replace it all, but still a pain, and the next time I will have some suprises when they try it again!

Hey LV,
Mine was installed at Best Buy, and they did not hook up the VSS. I called them afterwards and they explained they normally don't hook it up! I just learned to live with it. I did some hunting and it appears the signal is under the hood so I didn't bother. I compared the actual MPH speed to the AVIC-D3 reported speed and it's within 1mph most of the time anyway.
They left off the illumination too! The excuse there was they have had trouble with other systems messing up the electronics. Whatever! I hooked that up myself by tapping into the wire in the shifter console there are 2 lights. When they come on, you are in "night mode". It works great and is pretty easy.
Sadly, my entire system was stolen like 2 weeks ago. I'm working with insurance to cover it, but it's alot of red tape... The next system will be protected by a custom alarm and video surveillance.

Thanks for the comments!
Hey Bobbo, here's a pic of the back side where you can see the camera mounted above the license plate.

Just got everything hooked up and working nice, with steering wheel controls. This is really a fun system!! Great NAV, iPod video, game console input, 17" widescreen rear LCD, and the front/rear screens can watch the same or 2 different things.
Check it out! Thanks AVIC411 for the info and Crutchfield for the smokin deal!!

I talked with Pac Audio today they mentioned that SWI-PS may have compatibility issues with Metra VT-GMOS-04 GM Class II Data bus Interface (for door chime and On Star). One known issue is buttons lose functionality or operate for no reason. I was given a remedy by using a SPDT relay to connect the SWI-PS and the Metra power.
85- Metra Red Acc power wire
86- Gnd
87- Yellow 12v wire from D3
30- SWI-PS Red Acc power wire
It may be a while before I rip it apart and try. Hope this helps someone!

My H2 did that when I put the parking brake on (one click) and drove it. When the bypass is done right, the D3 thinks the parking brake is always on. It sounds like your truck thinks the parking brake is on too.
-
I haven't had much luck with mine either. See my post listed below, we have similar vehicles. It's supposed to be compatible. When I program it, my volume cranks up to max all by itself, and no buttons work... I'm going to call Pac Audio this week and talk to them directly.
PAC SWI-PS need help programming for Hummer H2

I'm using a D3 and SWI-PS, installed by Best Buy. It seems they did the wiring right, but we unable to get the device programmed to work. I'm trying myself, and it appears to run thru the programming sequences properly. At the end of the sequence, I get 3 flashes, and 1 more flash for Version 1. Then my radio goes cranking full blast! The wheel buttons don't work. I've repeated the programming, and have the same result where it cranks the radio to full volume! ahhh
I have a couple functions like mute that need to skip, so I use the program/mode button to skip it. Seems pretty straight forward, but I'm not having any luck. I called Crutchfield and they were unable to solve it. They are having me call Pac Audio direct for support, and if unable to resolve, then CF will send me a new device. Anyone run into this?

I have an 80GB iPod connected to D3, and the video is excellent! I've been pulling all sorts of Music video and TV shows from iTunes, and they vary on full screen / wide screen. I put a 17" widescreen overhead LCD for rear seat and it looks great there too.
-
Thanks for the head's up, I just ordered a D3 for my H2. Been watching this forum for a while, and this is a smokin deal! Woohoo!!
I'm going to add a 17" overhead LCD and Xbox for the rear seat. If you're interested in a great deal on a big LCD check here:

I had my D3 installed at Bestbuy. Later I had a custom alarm installed at Fry's in Renton. In my opinion, Fry's did better work, and you know they have the best prices! They are worth a look.
