just to let every one know i am here if any one needs help

How do we fix the "please insert the appropriate disk" problem?

Seems like there are a lot of members that has the same problem.

well sir. with out research i could not tell you. but i could tell you what i do know. i bought a d3 from ebay with nothing but the unit.

i then had to buy the wirring harness but no rca harness. also no gps antenna so i was working with not alot. so when i got everything hooked up i got that same message. please insert the appropriate disk.

well i knew that i did not have anything in the drive. so that ment that i need to put something in it. so i put in a cd and nothing happend so i push the volume knob. and bingo it went the the av menu. but i still could not go into the nav menu with out it stating what i saw when i first fired it up.

so i hit the volume knob another time. and setup everything the way i wanted it.

well then i needed the nav disk well i did not know what would happen after i got the 2007 west disk down loaded and burnt and put in.

well it loaded after i put the disk in and then turn the car off and back on with the disk in and it updated the d3 and i could go into the nav menu and change everthing else that i wanted like the time and date.

so i am not sure what the deal is. other then the firmware on the d3 is messing up some how and the drive has been bumped and shifted the lins in it. but i have found that replacing the drive in the d3 is high in price to do. the drive its self is like almost 300 dollars. so what you might do is put a disk cleaner dvd in the drive and see if that helps cleaning the lins.

now after all that said does it read any kind of disk or just stops at that screen and you can't get past that with the nav disk in it.

still you might try removing the d3 and then take some caned air and try to clean up the out side of it and blow out any dust. or it could be the disk being warped. and its not reading any more.

so i hope that something that i have said works for you.

hey some one broke into my car and tried to steal my avicd3 since they couldnt they desided to just brake my screen how mutch would it be to replace both the screens??

about 300.00 but i can check to see if i have anything laying around to save you some cost if you want. and if you want i might be able to do it for 150.00 but you would have to ship it to me and then back to you.

the touch screen is like 48.00 and the lcd is like 248. for it. so yeah your looking at a lot for that. if you ship it in to pioneer, and that is just parts no install. but you could do it your self. but the parts cost the same. and that is with out shipping. i am sorry that happend to you. you might see what your car insurance will pay for the break in. if you don't want to spend that much.

or like i said i and walk you threw the process. pic by pic and then just sell you the items. and you do it. witch will save some shipping costs. so just let me know what you want to do. or if you want me do to do it for you or not.

my memo button is crushed on my D2. Any spares? PM sent.

hey sorry but i don't have any but i could see what i could find give me a day or so and i will look.

Sure. I'll be waiting. Check mail. Another PM sent.

got a new volume knob?

Is the touch screen easy to replace? I am tech savvy. The touch screen is pissing me off. It has the problem that some other Avic-D1's seem to suffer from. It is not staying calibrated and it is losing some sensitivity... I guess you'd call it.

Thanks.

no bro just look for a post that i posted like last year on the touch screen and you will find almost how to take it apart and everything.

Does the same touchscreen part apply to the D2? I have a D2 that is off and either won't hold calibration. The LCD is fine but the touch panel is way off. I am also tech savy, just need the part(s) and instructions.

Thanks,

-Kevin

i actually re calibrated it again. I made sure I was about 1/4in in from the left and right of the screen. Now it works like it did the day I got it.

click on the link and u can get all the parts for your D3 from there

I need to replace either the exterior map button or the entire face plate on the D3. is this easy to do either with just the button or the entire black face plate? I looked at both pac parts and Pioneer and there is no picture or description on the map button or the ' face plate"---I found grille assembly or decorative trim but no other info so I am not sure what I need. Thanks!
