ScottTRD Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Hey, I just install a D3 in my 07 Tacoma and have a cople of questions. 1. When I first installed it, it would not let me change the time zone to set the time. I hadn't hooked up the VSS, brake, or reverse wires yet. So, after I hooked those up it still will not let me set the time. What am I doing (or have done) wrong? 2. How do I verify the VSS is working? 3. So other than doing the hack, I have to have the parking brake on when ever I want to set waypoints and stuff of that nature. I thought as long as you were not moving you could do that without setting the bake. Thanks in advance for any help or direction you point me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hadn't hooked up the VSS, brake, or reverse wires yet. So, after I hooked those up it still will not let me set the time. What am I doing (or have done) wrong? There is a setting that says something about 'summertime' which means daylight savings. Under that there will be a thing where you can add or subtract 3 hours from the time it is displaying. As far as I know you can't set it to the minute, just adjust the time programmed in. 2. How do I verify the VSS is working? Go into the settings tab in the nav menu. there should be a button for hardware info, and system info I think. will show if your VSS is connected. 3. So other than doing the hack, I have to have the parking brake on when ever I want to set waypoints and stuff of that nature. I thought as long as you were not moving you could do that without setting the bake. in that same hardware info screen, it should always say parking brake on. If not you didn't do the bypass correctly. Can you watch movies? Do you get any error messages? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
installthis06 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 yea the brake has to be grounded at all times for you to be able to do all the gps and watch dvds..Yea once the gps antenna is hooked up it will figure out where you are and then you can adjust the time and turn summer time hours on Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He's asking if on an unbypassed unit, will all the functions be available if the car is just stopped. I'm not sure, but if you have everything connected correctly, I would think that you have to have your parking brake on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottTRD Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Read into the manual, it doesn't clearly say how to check the VSS. Page 69 sayd speed pulse will be zero if stationary. Which it does. When moving it still says 0. But on page 68 under 3d calibration, it shows speed pulses. That number it shows (started at 0) grows everytime I drive the truck.

ScottTRD Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Well, I got the time set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve310 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 What you were looking at on page 68. If that doesn't change when you move, you have your VSS hooked up incorrectly. I just tried to look quick for where it would be but I couldn't find anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ScottTRD Posted July 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 So under 3d calibration (pg 68 ), if the speed pulses start adding up, it is fine. I was concerned with what is on page 69. It shows the number for speed pulse to be 0. And this driving as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
steve310 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Maybe I'm thinking of the wrong screen. I'll double check when I get out of work in a little while. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
installthis06 Posted July 31, 2007 Report Share Posted July 31, 2007 Speed pulse should go up and you should hear a beeping with it. It will be around half of your actual speed. If it is at 0 then yes you do not have the vss hooked up correctly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ScottTRD Posted August 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 I think I got it. I get speed pulses now. I don't here any beeps though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
