Help with Avic D3 SET UP (2005 Audi A4)

[AudiAvicD3]

Ok so I'm transferring universities and going home for the summer so I'm taking all my stuff with me and driving across the country..from Arizona to New Jersey to be exact. I decided there is no way I'm making that trip without my system, DVD video, or GPS. I'm hauling a trailer this time so there's no way I can speed through the country at 120mph like the first time I did the trip in my old 01 Celica ( RIP!) Looking for a smooth relaxing ride.. maybe watch a couple movies, and enjoy some tunes . I bought the D3 last semester to upgrade from the D1 that had been in the Celica.. and like alot of rookie Avic buyers.. I bought it off Ebay looking for a great price and ended up with a working D3 but NO Wires, Nav dics, etc. I did some shopping and I think I got all but a few things.. please let me know if I'm missing anything and if you have any tips..

 

What I have:

- Double Din Installation Kit - (Its an ABS plastic kit.. Do I need to buy the kit on the Pioneer Website too?)

- Power Supply Wire

- 70-1721 (Wiring Harness)

- 40-VW53 (Audi Antenna Cable)

- 70-1787 (Bose Amp Integration Wires)

- Rockford Fosgate System with subs, amp,capacitor, and wires

 

What I already have lined up to get:

- GPS cable

- Ipod Cable

 

What I need:

- BOTH NAVIGATION DISCS! this seems to be the one that's giving me problem. Ive popped up several disc codes including {CNDV-70M, CNDV-90MT, CPJ1184, and P-CPJ1182}... which ones will work? and which is the most recent updated disc that'll work with the D3.. I see some posts about burning the nav discs.. how do I do that?

 

ByPass:

Ground the mute wire in in the hole above its original place.. and ground the parking brake wire.. anything else?

 

I'm looking to have DVD, GPS, and Ipod working smoothly.. I just need all parts necessary and I got to do the Bypass.. since I'm taking all the parts to Best Buy so they can hook up everything with my Rockford Fosgate subs..

 

Summary:

BYPASS.. how to?

Where can I get the Nav Discs?

Am I missing anything?

Any tips to avoid problems?

I had a D3 in a 2008 Audi A4. Here's what I remember using:

 

- AVIC D3 & its OEM GPS Antenna

- CD-BTB200 Bluetooth & its OEM Microphone

- Metra Double-Din kit for A4 (stripped out the center divider)

- CAN45PIO harness adaptor

- Soundgate CANPULSE4 to get the speed pulse off the CAN bus into the AVIC and do some steering wheel control inputs

 

- Needed a Fakra antenna adaptor of some kind (Audi AM/FM antenna inputs often don't conform to factory and don't do the correct "Y" split for the Pioneer) the forums have a ton of posts about this in an Audi

 

- Copies of the 2008, 2009, and 2010 D3 Nav software and disks are all over eBay for $15-$100. Most are pirate copies but they work fine.

 

- Instructions for your install are all over this forum, so I'm sure you'll find what you need

 

- Also, here's a link for somebody who did a similar install:
