This may not answer your question, but I wanted to at least add it to the discussion. I have a 2008 F150 and I have the AVH-4200NEX unit (very similar to the 8200). I purchased, and installed myself, a steering wheel control module from Axxess (model: ASWC-1). It works perfectly. The ASWC-1 was very easy to install but I did have one issue that might be of help. First, all items were ordered from Crutchfield, including a wiring harness. It should be noted that the wiring harness does not have an actual wire and pin at slot 18. Looking at a F150 wiring diagram of the car audio wirin

Wanted to resurrect this thread.... Anyone used a different mic? I am looking for a superior mic I dont care what it costs. When I talk to people they tell me they can hear themselves talking in a slight echo fashion. They dont seem to mind, but I prefer better if its achievable.

I was just about to post a thread on this issue....good thing I did a search. Cough. Well actually, the 6.5' length is good in MOST cases. I am about to purchase one and I do not think it is long enough for what I desire to do...here is why: 1. I do not want the Ipod connector in my glove box, because in my Ford F150, which is as wide as a Sherman tank, it is very difficult to reach the glove box from the drivers seat. I have a divider console at the shifter area which makes it even more difficult. I know I only have to connect the ipod and then (as ronco 2000 says) "set it and fo

Funny that this topic is fresh....I was just on the phone with Crutchfield about this very issue. Luckily I noticed this issue on the CF website before buying the CD-i200 cable. The CD-i200 and the AVIC D3 together, will NOT....NOT....show video images from the iPod touch on the D3 video monitor. I just so happen to have the $49 dollar apple cable discussed earlier in this thread and I will use it for the D3. I will connect it to the A/V inputs for AV-1 on the D3. However, that leads me to another question. Since the inputs will be to AV-1, the interface with the iPod touch is

Well I admit my lack of knowledge on my personal verizon phone when dealing with the function of permanent bluetooth power "on."...so that part of the post is resolved. Thank god. As for the rest of the post, it is not misguided. Whereas my phone does not have object push technology, it is still a fact that very very few Verizon telephones will work with the D3 cell phone address book trasnfer function. In fact, just a handful of phones out of the thousands of models they have sold over the years. Perhaps misguided in some eyes, but for many new users here...it is invaluable inform

Where do I start the list? I guess essentially, to me good technology is not one that you have to spend hours and hours reading a manual on how to use it. For example.....if my Mother started to use the D3, there is nothing that tells her to apply the parking brake to access half the damn menus. Do not get me started on the political BS that has our society protecting us from ourselves. Okay so yes the parking brake issue is covered on the cover of the manual.....but lets say I am driving down the road and my passenger starts to toy with the D3.....do you think they are going to unders

Toytaco, Great response. Informative and very helpful. You are correct. I have the V325i. I had to look up the manual to find out also!. The phone itself has no model number on it that I can find.....so before anyone rolls their eyes....I just took the Verizon reps work for it....V325 vs. V325i. It may not have been clear, but I already knew the V325i did not have Object Push technology. I just went to the Verizon rep to find out a few things. This forum allowed me to realize ahead of time that just because one purchases a new phone from Verizon, does not mean it will solve the p

Since this is about Verizon, I thought I would tie in another discussion thread: http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12539 This thread states that Verizon phones, with the exception of about 4-6 models issued over the last few years, does not allow wireless transfer of data using bluetooth technology and therefore MOST Verizon phones will not transfer your phone book to the D3. It also states that there is a good chance Verizon will reverse this blocking policy this year.

I just spent two hours with a Verizon rep., who accompanied me to my truck to work on the D3. Here is what I learned. 1. I did indeed have my Motorola V325 set up to power bluetooth off automatically if it did not connect with another device within x minutes. I was able to find the set up feature that allows it to stay on permanently. The drawback is shorter battery life. 2. This rep, a reputable friend of mine who has worked in the wireless industry for almost 14 years, told me that Verizon (she is a regional exec.), does indeed intentionally block wireless data transfer via bluet

I have a new F150 and just had the D3 installed by the dealership. My truck came with a factory rear camera, but when the D3 went in, they did not connect the rear camera, to the D3. I assume this would have been (should have been) no big deal. The rear camera works as per factory spec, and shows up in the rear view mirror. However, the D3 has this option, plus the screen is larger and easier to read in the sunlight. Has any other Ford pickup owner with a factory camera and D3 had their rear view camera connected to the D3? If so, do you know if there were any issues, special conside

Neither can I. I am now convinced that it is the Verizon Motorola cellphone I own. But this thread is not about transfering the address book. It is about what to do if you know you cannot transfer it. Huh? Well I spent hours today working with the D3, my phone and the owners manual for the D3 and BTB-2000. I noticed that you can manually add a few numbers into your "preset" area, I think there are 6 slots. My question is this..... I am able to add numbers, but that is all. I cannot associate a name with each number. So my ONLY available option is to either manually di

Perfectly answered. Thanks.

Hi all. I just had the D3 installed in my 2008 F150 pickup. I have read dozens of pages on this forum concerning this one hack, but I still have a couple of questions and comments. 1. No one who has installed this unit AND posted has commented on if the factory mute function works correctly after the hack. Someone asked about that function. The function I am referring to is the ability to hold down the volume knob continuously and after a second or two, the sound mutes. Reply if you know the answer. 2. I would also like to know if, after perofrming this hack, there are any o
