Im upgrading from from my old setup (avic 90dvd w/touchscreen) to the D3 butI wantto hook up the old screen tothe d3 so that it shows the same screen thats on the d3. Reason being....D3 is too deep to be mounted high in my dash so i wa goingto mount the other screen up top and then the D3 at the bottom. Anyone know how I can accomplish this thanks....

Will not work. The D3's screen is the only thing it will use as it's control interface. The rear output is for video only, and doesn't enable touch screen use.

hey thanks for rhe response but i dont want to be able to control it from the 2nd screen, i just wantto be able to view the same picture on both screens at the same time

Does your current screen have standard RCA inputs, or is it a Pioneer only cable?

Whatever you use as the 2nd screen has to have RCA inputs. And the D3 will only output video from it's onboard DVD drive, and possibly ipod video. The nav map and control screens from non-video sources will not be put out the D3's outputs.

ok thanks for the answer. and yes the screen does have both....pioneer cable and rca inputs. BUt I guess im back to the drawing board then. I know its not impossible i just have to figure out how....hmmm... improbably gonna have to take teh d3 apart...

so to get this straight the rear video output only does video nothing else so if there is not a dvd playing then its a dead screen? or will it display whatever is on the d3 screen? the d1's and D2's had a option to pick navi or video theres not an option for that on the d3 is there?

Nope. Only video. And no dual zone.

so, if i wanted to put a flipdown in the rear for the kids, will it hook up to the D-3 and play dvd's? how does it all work? thanks

The D3 has AV outputs you would run to the screen's input. I don't recall exactly, but I think you have to enable the outputs in the settings menu. Then it's only a matter of putting the DVD in the D3 and playing it.

ok, sounds easy. thanks
