hi. i currently have the d3 and have the xdv-p6 dvd changer and was wondering how i can hook it up to my d3. i have the xdv-p6 left over from my n3 and i can't see how to plug it into my d3... am i missing something? pioneers website says that it works with the d2 but i can't figure it out. a lil help please? thank you!
It connects via the ip-bus and av-bus ports on the hide-a-way module, not the actual in-dash changer itself.
ok, lemme rephrase... no mean for disrespect if taken by my wording HiFi. there are no ip bus or av ports on the d3, do i just plug in the rca's going into the d3? thank you!
short answer no it doesn't. It may work in standalone mode, but that I'm not positive of. THere is an ipbus port on the back of the d3 though. There's no AV-bus port.
i can use the dvd changer but i can't get no picture to show. i do have audio coming from the dvd changer tho. i guess that i gotta try to plug the rca's into the d3. thanks!
i got it to work... thank you for the help people!
So did you get the DVD changer to work by just using it in stand alone mode?
i have the d3 connected with the pioneer dvd changer. i'm running the dvd changer connected to the pioneer bluetooth thr the ip bus to get the sound. as for the visual, im running a rca from the back of the d3 to the pioneer dvd changer's hideaway box. no problems!!
why doesnt the D3 have av bus?
Why doesn't it have RDS? Why doesn't it have a hard drive? Why doesn't it have dual zone capability? You've gotta scrap some features to make the unit as inexpensive as it is.
Will the XDV-P9 functions without the AV-Bus connected? I have a an XDV-P90 that I need to connect to m AVIC-D3 (replacing a broken AVIC-D1). I don't care about video, I was just planning on using it for audio. I'm hoping with just the IPBus connected, it will be controlled by the D3 and play sound.
you will have sound with the ip bus connected with no problems.
If you connect the ip bus to the p9 and video to the rca can it be controlled by the D3?
or if the xdv-p6 is connected thru ip bus and video input, doe the d3 control it also?
ive always used the remote, you can only control which disc to play thru the touch screen only. the other options like fast forward, pause, rewind, etc wont work thru the touchscreen.
Ok, do you select MD-changer on the icon screen or AV1 / AV2. or if you select MD -0changer will it switch and "Play" that disc. I am asking because I will be installing so I am tryinf to narrow everything down. Thanks!
Ok,
I installed mine. However I can't use the remote control pointed at the D3. Pioneer says that when it is connected to thr the ip-bus and ip-bus mode is selected that the remote will work. Mine only works when pointed at the dvd changer. any response would be great !
