D3 help.... radio volume and night screen option......

2 questions......

 

I've have a 2003 Chevy Tahoe with the BOSE system and had Best Buy install the D3, but my radio sound is really low. I have to have the volume way up (in the high 20-low 30's to hear it decent), but if I switch to my IPOD it's much louder. Is this normal?

 

2nd question is my screen is always really bright, and when I go into the menu for the night vision it does nothing! Isn't it suppose to dim or change background color? The truck has auto headlights, but when they turn on nothing happens to the screen. Any help or advice is appreciated.

 

Thx in advance.

The night view mode through the menu just changes the background display on the Map from brown (day) to black. It doesn't cause the unit to dim. (though that can be done through the touch screen menu)

 

Try actually turning on your headlights, and see if the unit dims. If not, then the installer didn't hook up the illumination wire properly. If it does, then the issue is simply that by design, the auto-on headlights don't power the illumination wire. So to get the dimming effect, you'll need to manually flip the headlight switch.

 

And yes, the low AM/FM volume issue seems to be common. It's also the only source you can't adjust the gain on.
