got this on clearance at a Car Stereo store that was closing for $5,

 

and the battery was $2.99

 

 

it's really nice.

 

most of the buttons work for the D3

the pics didn't load at first on my end, but that looks like a normal remote for most remote capable head units.

does it let you switch tracks when listening off a ipod through the d3?

i am too poor for an IPOD player, so i don't know.

 

 

the normal D3 remote on ebay is large (home TV size)

 

and you can't find the buttons without looking.

 

 

you can operate this remote by feel, without taking your eyes off the road.

I use that same remote, and yes it changes tracks on the iPod, channels and presets on FM and XM. and if you are in map mode and want to see what the current song is, press the disp button, and it will show on the bottom (may do this on big remote, I don't know because I too did not want to fumble while using the remote).

is the remote something you can just buy and it will work or do you have to do anything behind the unit (run a wire or something)?

yep, just buy them.

 

the face of the radio has an infrared eye built in.

 

i have two of the big ones, if you want one.

 

i like the small one.

 

buy them off ebay, where ever.
