  1. FINALLY figured out the noise problem... I used Scosche’s FDK11B Audiophile harness: http://www.scosche.com/products/productID/581 This harnesses comes with a separate connector for the subwoofer (the smaller one in this picture) . This connector has 6 wires coming from it but the Edge doesn't use all of them. I Used the wires that match up with the factory’s harness. But in the factory part of this harness, there is a bare-looking ground wire that matches up to nothing in the Scosche harness. Today, I just connected the bare-looking ground wire from the Factory subwo
  2. Well - a year later and I'm still having this buzzing sound from the subwoofer when the headlights are turned on. I removed the voltage regulator from the sub's amp remote wire and replaced it with a 5.6k resistor. Still have the buzz/hum sound from the sub when the headlights are on. Any ideas ?
  3. The usefulness of the NAV varies depending on the situation. There seems to be some bad logic for calculating the shortest route in certain cases. For normal day to day use, it works OK for us. But I'd never solely rely on it to plan a drive of over an hour. Have a look at these two threads: http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic. ... highlight= http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic. ... highlight=
  4. I don't have my VSS wire connected right now. The D3 has my speed PERFECTLY matched to my speedometer. I don't think it's using the gyros to calculate speed. It can calculate your speed from the GPS signals - like any hand-held GPS can do.
  5. If they're treating their customers like crap and ignoring problems reported, then who cares if we irritate Frank !! I will call him for sure. Be polite and professional.
  6. I really don't think it's learning at all. It's just that the calculation is different in one direction verses the other. It's also probably that you were driving faster than the average speed in the D3 for the road you were on. EVERY time I calculate the route from Northern Virginia to Duck, North Carolina, it comes up with the same, ridiculous, overly-long route. It's learned nothing from the couple of times I've driven that route.
  7. If so, please use your NAV to calculate the shortest route between Northern Virginia and Duck, North Carolina. As you can see from my post on the D3, it does a terrible job with this particular route. I'd like to see the results from a different Pioneer Unit. http://avic411.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8403
  8. Is the D3 the only bad trip planner / route calculator of Pioneer's fleet or are they all quirky ?
  9. Can someone post the number to call for the correct person at Pioneer ? Also - has anyone tried comparing the D3 with other model Pioneer's to see if they're any different ?
  10. See the thread I started a while back about the D3 being a bad trip planner. On my vacation from Northern Virginia to Duck, NC - the D3 was suggesting that I go WAY, WAY out of my way and never could come up with the correct route: http://www.avic411.com/forum/viewtopic. ... highlight=
  11. At your advice, I hooked it up to the purple/white parking lights wire in the driver's kick. are you hooking the purple/white from the d3 to the parking lights? only reason i ask is that is the reverse wire, not parking lites. pl wire is orange/white. No - I've got the correct wires from the D3. The screen dims properly when the lights are on and my reverse camera works properly when I'm in reverse. It's just that recently, I started having this buzz through the subwoofer when the lights are on.
  12. Nope - nothing aftermarket - except for the D3 and reverse camera. Haven't had a chance yet to try removing the voltage regulator...
  13. At your advice, I hooked it up to the purple/white parking lights wire in the driver's kick.
  14. I installed the voltage regulator several months ago. I didn't notice this buzz until just recently. It's odd that the buzz is only there with the headlights on and only through the subwoofer. All other speakers are noise free. I guess the voltage regulator would be a good place to start. I can remove it easily and will see if that eliminates the buzz.
  15. All my connections seem solid. But when the headlights are turned on and the D3 dimms, there is a slight buzz from the subwoofer. I've done the voltage regular to eliminate the turn-on thump. But just started hearing this buzzing sound lately. Any ideas ?
