I have an 07 Wrangler and got a D3 from a buddy that is trading in his 07 Wrangler. The only difference is that i have the premium sound system and he had the standard sound system so he bought all new speakers and rewired everything. When i installed it in my jeep, i got the CORRECT wiring harness and wired it up, but nothing works but the radio. When i switch it to iPod, it plays and ticks down the time for the song and i can control everything, but absolutely no sound comes out. Not even the beeping that you hear when you press the buttons. Switch back to Radio, all sound works. When i put in a DVD, i have full control of the menu and options, but again, no sound. Switch to NAV. The map shows my current location, but when i start driving it stays put. When i put it in reverse, the camera doesn't switch over. When i manually go to the camera, it shows the image for about 2 seconds, then goes black. Has anyone had any of these problems? Could it be a defective wiring module? That is the only difference between his Jeep and mine and all this worked in his.

the problem is that you hooked up the power antenna wire instead of the amp turn on wire, your vehicle has a factory amp that needs to be told to turn on, and the wire that you hooked up is only telling it to turn on when the radio is on(power antenna, solid blue wire) and you need to hook it up to the amp control wire (blue with a white stripe) so that the AVIC will turn on the amps all the time the unit is on

 

most of the time the amp turn on wire in chryslers harnesses are solid blue when they should be blue w/ white

 

if the D3 is like my F900 you can change the setting in the menu for the ant wire with out changing any wiring

there should be a setting for "antenna" change it from "radio" to "power" and you wont have to rewire anything
