Superchiu Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 2005RSX, If you used an aftermarket Honda harness for your D3, you should connect the orange wire on the harness to the "Illum" wire on the D3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aconite Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 If properly hooked up, the AVIC will not blow your light fuse. I have an Avic D1 and my screen goes to night colours when the headlights are turned on. I never had any fuse problems whatsoever. I love how it switches btwn the day and night colours automatically when you turn your headlights on, that is one very important feature. The Avic would be a bloody spotlight in your face at night if it was in day colour mode! As for the VSS, hook that up too. It improves accuracy and continues to track your vehicle when satellite signals are intermittantly lost (caused by tunnels, tall buildings in a city, heavy trees over the road, comets whizzing by the earth, etc).

_Nomad_ Posted August 22, 2007 Report Share Posted August 22, 2007 Ok so I went to best buy today and they said the only reason they didn't hook it up was because it would blow the light fuse. Is this true, is this happening to anybody else? OMG! That's funny! Blow the light fuse...good one! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdurhan Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 So it does dim automatically when you turn your lights on? It should if the illumination wire is hooked to a 12volt + wire when the lights come on. I wired my corvette to the rear tail light, unit dims as soon as the lights come on.

kruff10 Posted August 23, 2007 Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 I had the same problem with the contrast of the screen , turned out that the illumination wire was not connected, so i got it hooked up and now when i turn my head lights on the screen darkens to nice easy on the eyes level and when i turn my head light off like in the day the screen brightens up. ( note i don`t think the illumination works in the auto head light mode) but i could be wron , it just does not work in my 2004 yukon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kruff10 Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 I have a 2004 yukon and i had the illumination wire from the d-3 hooked into the auto head light control and it works with my auto head lights perfectly, the d-3 dims when my head light come on at night and the map goes into the night mode ( easy on the eyes) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you, Superchiu, I did as you said and it worked... thanks again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
