I just had this same issue pop up on my D3 today in my cobra. Was getting ready to order a z140 for my toyota fj. second guessing myself now

nice looking background. will be saving that for when I get the new hu installed into my 08 tt fj

I've got some cool cobra logo's for the d3 in my 03 cobra but I'm getting ready to geta 940 for my fj and would love some cool toyota backgrounds too!

Got my d3 in and I am using one of your backgrounds currently but was wondering if you would be willing to make a few others. One with the carbon fiber and "SVT" on it One with just the snake on it One with just the word "cobra" on it

got the unit in but still need to do a little fine tuning. The shop grounded the parking brake wire but not the mute wire so I have to get back in there and do that and also check to see if they did the vss wire. Got some bg's loaded up from this sight. If anyone wants to make me one with the SVT logo on the carbon background have at it. here they are. some had a little bright spot on the screen from the light coming in the garage door behind the car. The screen looks pretty good during the day and damn good at night. kind of blury navi shot. flash shot with controls hidden s

Well I got my backgrounds put on and everything else is working. I'll go back and ground the mute wire after I check the vss wire and also tap into the dimmer switch for night mode. I am tired of taking all the trim on and off.......... Well needless to say they are arsholes that I will never take anything back to. In the past they were pretty good working on other cars of mine but now both shops in town have burned me with shady work and will never get another dime of my money.

what program are windows users burning these pictures on CD's with? I cant get anything on my computer to burn the pictures folder I have onto the cd I put in the drive.

they got everything done but didnt connect my gps atenna so I had to route that myself. They did ground the parking brake wire with the ground though and now my system says there is a bad connection on the parking brake. Just need to get in there and ground that mute wire for the bypass.

got it all worked out.

Well after taking a look at my metra wiring harness for my 03 cobra D3 install I decided it was better to leave it up to the pro's. I work a crazy job so I never really know when I will have time off...........So today I take it to one of the two install shops in town and they squeeze my car in among all their other work. I had already purchased the metra wiring harness and the metra install kit so everything was in the box and ready to go..........I get a call saying they cant install the unit because it is a double din.............I said okay with a puzzled hint in my voice and the guy s

Right on. That is a good idea and would have been my next question. Hopefully my wiring harness shows up Monday and I can get it all put together and installed in the car. I already have the bypass done and routes for everything ready. Just need the harness. Thanks a million for your help.

Yes it is. If you dont trust me ask my wife. LOL!

I would have gone that route but just spent a wad on fuel mods and new clutch setup so I can turn the boost up on the whipple.

I have all the colors and pin numbers for the vss and reverse wires so I can tap into them. Other than that I just need to make sure that I properly install a 2.2k resistor into the amp on line so I dont get the amp thump (per someones suggestion on here). I guess just solder that little resistor into the wiring? Oh and as long as the metra kit comes with a wiring diagram then I should be good. I have a good gameplan I think atleast. LOL!

hey cntrylvr........I picked up some stuff at radio hack including some 2.2k resistors. Dumb question but how would you suggest I wire up that resistor? Solder it in when I hook up the metra harness to the avic or what? Thanks for the help. Other than this resistor I think I have a pretty good game plan for installing this myself when the metra harness shows up on Monday. Thanks again, B

LOL! Image. I didnt even look at your handle on here. LOL! Just picked up some stuff to wire it up. Now I am just waiting on my metra harness to show up on Monday so I can get it all done.

nice. I'm hooking up one in my 03 cobra too. Post up some pics when you are done.

right on. I'll pick that up and some other stuff so I can hook up all the wiring and I am going to throw this thing in myself. The wiring harness should be here Monday so I'll got to work on it sometime after that. Thanks again for all the help.

okay found a place and ordered the correct metra wiring harness. Now I just need to get a resistor like you are talking about. Will radio shack have them?

where can I purchase that harness and the resistor?

Hey all. My d3 will be at the house in a few minutes and I have already gained info on what and where the vss and other wires are. I have the ipod controller and an install kit on its way but was wanting to know what metra wiring harness kit I need to purchase so my mach 460 speakers and amps work and where to purchase it at. I am going to tackle this install myself that way I can do the bypass and make sure everything is where I want it along with securing the deck to the car so it cant be removed. Thanks for the help, Pics to come, B

LOL! Thanks. I am still not fully dedicated on doing it myself. I have heard the sound quality even with the metra harness isnt as good as with the factory head unit but we'll see. I just didng want to replace the factory speakers and amps all at once with the new deck. After all more go fast mods need to be done too. a clutch to hold my 600+ rwhp is on its way too.

thanks hottwyrd. That's about all I need to find and tap into to install the thing other than connecting all the wires from the metra harness correct?

Hey everyone. I have been reading these forums for a while and there is some great info on here. So great that I am thinking of undertaking the install myself. I still need to order the ipod hookup for it. What part number is it and where do you suggest I order it? Also I am going to order the metra install kit and wiring harness so I can still use my factory mach 460 speakers and amps. I would like to do this myself that way I can do the bypass and make sure the unit is secured so a theif cant just walk away with it and everything is hidden where I want it to be. Does anyone k
