ok ive had a d3 for a month now and it use to turn off when i turned the car off

 

but the other day i put the ipod wire in

 

and i just noticed its not turning off anymore

 

i know it always turned off before the ipod wire

but im not sure if its been just now or if its the ipod wire

 

i just plugged the wire into the back where it fit

can anyone tell me why its not turning off automatically anymore

 

by turning the radio and screen off manually is that enough to not drain the battery or will the lights that can change colors or whatever for the buttons on the side still drain my battery because i cant figure out how to turn them off

my battery sucks

Did you wire the power to constant or accessory?

everything was working fine the first month

 

all i did was in the back off the screen plug the ipod wire in the place where it fit on the screen...are there more than one place for the ipod wire?

I had a D3 installed professionally on my wife's car. She had this same problem within the first couple of days. It even killed the battery one day. The installer tried several fixes before replacing the whole D3 itself. It now works great. While this problem was an aggravation, the installer did a great job of taking care of us.
