No i was not (3 years late) lol

Have not really heard or researched much on the Z2... It have an internal HD like that or something? OR allow attachments of external HD?

Right now i'm working on putting an external HD to the D3 through an XBOX 360. Wonder if there is a way to point where it looks for the NAV, and then it point through the XBOX360 to the HD and have all the info stored on there? Just a thought... Probably wont work

I just started reading a little about pure sine wave inverters... and your idea seems to be a good idea from what they describe... Any ideas on locations to buy these? Good deals?

Not heard of these pure sine wave inverters before. What are the differences, and where can these be found?

Also, in another comment... after re-reading... A capacitor, to my understanding, kind of holds a charge and then allows for current to pass through to your amp. In times of HIGH DRAW from your amp... headlights, dome lights, neons, etc... generally fade or dim. Capacitors will store this extra "power" for these times of high draw, and instead of draining down the battery and making the alternator work harder to charge your battery and power the headlights, etc... It will take that draw from the capacitor... Then your headlights stay lit. I have seen a 1 farad capacitor control this be

This 4 gauge wire, will also bring current from current battery to rear battery. This will power my system (when upgraded) and act as a capacitor for my system as well as power the inverter (powering XBOX360, and External HD), and then split off onto all the video panels, and neons that will be in the back. I doubt i should go any less than 4 gauge on going from one battery to another... A. more can never hurt when it comes to wiring... less, can! B. The standard on battery posts look like a tad bit smaller than 4 gauge... so i would rather go to 4 gauge to be safe. The battery states i

Well, I have been given a few ideas to fix this issue. Some say placing the inverter so close down the line to the alternator and engine may cause this to occur. And they advised getting 4 gauge cable... running it from POSITIVE post to rear of vehicle. Then connecting it to the positive terminal of a Kinetik battery (100 farad battery). Then running the inverter off of this battery. The in-line connection will allow the Kinetik battery to recharge, while also powering the XBOX 360 through the inverter BEHIND an additional battery. This hopefully will detour the noise coming from the al

the inverters I have used were both... A. Cigarette lighter B. Battery hook-up Both converting to hook up the XBOX 360 directly. Both creating static in the sound (not the video though)

Well, its a possibility I will want to do this anyway...> However, not sure exactly how to go about doing that. Dont they sell harnesses to add onto the batter to wire additional components? Ideas on this would be GREATLY appreciated. Another idea, they have some isolators to ground out inverters I hear. Have no idea where to find them, or if they really work... anybody heard of these?

Well, taking tillithz's advice... I did not connect any grounds yet. I dont think its a problem with the unit after what was done, or a problem with the XBOX. With the idea from tillithz, I decided to plug the XBOX 360 into an oulet in the garage, and then connect it to the AVIC-N3. This was extremly successful! I put in Tiger Woods '07... and it was so peaceful! And the birds chirping sounded so real w/o any background noise! And when you hit the ball from the tee... the subs POUNDED on ball contact! It was really a beautiful sound... ... Needless to say it's not the AVIC N3, a

I might add, this is only to STREAM music and movies through the XBOX into the AVIC N3. You cannot SAVE GAMES onto this HD. I plan on doing the task you mentioned to increase HD space at a later time.

Ahhh! Yes, I hope to get a sticky for this, as it took me FOREVER to figure it out! Its actually a long strenuous task, but well worth it. This way you can play any song, any band, and movie, any game... and NEVER have to take the NAVDISK out. I bought a USB interfaced 500 GB HD Formatted it to mac filesystem Downloaded a Windows to MAC file transfer software So now I have my XBOX360 (which IRONICALLY reads the mac filesystem!!! This is for IPODS, is my assumption) connected to a 500 GB external HD (formatted to HCS+?). Then transfered all my mp3's, movies, and pictures to the ext

I heard actually right after my post, its possible with the Avic's that the Alternate INPUTS are not properly grounded. I was told an effective solution would be to solder a small gauge wire to the outputs (possibly just audio) to a groundable source. Just enough to ground the audio inputs from the XBOX360 to the AVICN3. Before I attempt this, any ideas on this being legit, or any other ideas to solve this issue?

I just recently hooked up my XBOX 360 in my truck to my Avic N3. It works, and picture looks pretty good (kinda small though). The problem that I am having is with the sound. Any kind of sound whether it be Movies, Games, or Music... it creates a static noise that is rather annoying, and definatly takes away from the effects of the subwoofers in the back pounding your chest in HALO as you are shooting and blowing things up! lol Anybody have any ideas?
