Here's your answer.

You CANNOT use the D3 to choose videos. You have to use the iPod.

You CAN however, use the forward/backward buttons (or remote) to cycle through videos in the playlist. This is only after you have chosen a video from a playlist on the iPod though.

We really should create a sticky that has all the general questions answered....

What do you gain by bypassing the yellow and light/green wire?

This bypasses the system check for the parking brake. The system requires you to engage the parking brake to watch movies. By bypassing this check, you can watch movies without the parking brake being on and while moving.

Can you watch movies and access navigation by doing the bypass?

You can watch movies and access navigation anyway. The bypass allows you to do that WHILE moving.

Also, what is the best way to hook up an MP3 player?

iPod with the iPod cable. Or, you can use the aux input cables on the front of the D3

Can you use the AV jack in front or is it better to hook up an rca cable to the back?

As stated before, use the aux jack in front for easy hook up. For a cleaner look, you could use the a/v harness in the back.

Nope. No cover. Your best bet is to make one or find some kind of accessory by another company.

Well, if they service it, that should fix it.

You can also categorize the video as Movie, Tv Show, music video, etc. and then tell the iPod to sync those.

Try resetting it. If that doesn't work, you may need to take it back and get another one.

worked just fine on the first try. Thanks! I'll post pics of the install later. It was in a 2001 Mustang GT

I have a 2003 Mustang (baby pony). In Georgia too!

Congrats on your install man. Post those pics.

You're having a ground problem. The wires themselves may be ok, but they aren't grounding.

Did you try tapping into the ground on your factory wire harness?

Mine does that by default.

Hmm... Well I'm no where near 10 referrals!

Or search... There's about 3 different good threads on it.

They include that "hook think" (spade connector) in case there is no ground wire for your factory harness. They were being thoughtful.

I just snipped that bugger off and tapped into the ground cable of my factory harness. Works like a champ!

Call them up. Crutchfield has excellent customer service.

Just tell them to cancel your order or redo it using the 15% code and referral code. They may just do it.

You have to set the D3 to video in order for it to play video from the ipod. Anything else will just get audio.

You can however, setup video playlists. I have a movies, music videos, and tv shows playlist. When I hit video, I choose a playlist and it plays. I can then use the remote to skip videos within the same playlist.

Are these valid all the time? Or do they only work once? If so, how do you know they are valid or not?

Yes. The referral code is assigned to you and never changes. It's always valid.

It usually takes a few days for the code to go through the system, but you can call them and give them the code and it will work.

Ok, I was lazy before and didn't want to break out the manual...

But since it is an option, here ya go:

Page 123 in the manual says you can set it to Mute or Attenuation.

The voice guide doesn't mute the ipod. it's kind of a pain in the ass. You would think they would at least attenuate the ipod or something.. :/

Unless there is a feature I don't know about. I haven't played around with it too much.

No problem mate. Congrats!

Yeah, it wouldn't have been the VSS wire. That's only for speed.

Glad you figured it out. I ran my cable to the passenger side and up the side to the dash. I left about a foot of cable visible on the dash so maybe that's why I get great signal!

Ok.. The 07 Altima does have a dash kit yet so I to get the factory front trim and the trim is 9" so i was going to get the z1 because that would fit better, but if you know how to fill up the spaces I can get the D3

The Z1 and D3 are both double din and take up the same space. The only difference (size wise) is the screen.

Don't know much about the Z1 sir. Sorry.

I'd do it but that's about 4-5 hours from me. :/

I answered your question in the other thread you asked it in.

You'll need to:

DISCONNECT THE BATTERY

1. Move the mute wire pin on the A/V Harness (with the RCA jacks)

2. Pull out the radio

3. Plug the harness in

4. Ground the mute cable (tap into the ground they setup)

5. Cut and ground the parking brake cable (light green).

6. Put it all back together (including battery)

Then you will be bypassed. You may need to reset the D3.

Did you try adding the metal base plate?
