Let me begin by saying the unit looks really nice. There are some issues I have which perhaps someone here can help me with. 1) why can't I change between 2-D and 3-D while in motion? I also have the Avic D3 in another car and I can change any view mode I want while driving. 2) Even though my installer forgot about installing the wire to automatically dim navi at night I found a day/night button I can select in the pop up quick screen in navi page. However when I select this button nothing happenes! So far that's all. I'm sure I will think of more as time goes. Can anyone help me?

1. Because you either need to pull your parking brake or do the bypass that allows settings to be accessed while in motion.

2. Because the only way to have the unit dim is to have that wire connected.

how can I do the bypass? The installer told me there is a gyroscope and it senses the car in motion, therefore theres no way around it.

Search!!!

ok will do!!! Another thing. This thing is supposed to have text to speech, correct? Mine doesn't pronounce street names only freeway numbers.

You need to select TTS in the language settings. A full read of your manual will answer most of your questions.

wow! You are pretty upset that I am asking questions! This is a forum and I do appreciate all the help I get as I would help others if needed. Sorry, I don't have time to read the manual.

We are not hear to baby sit.

If I'm in 3d mode I can touch any where on the map screen that isn't a button of some sort and it switches it to 2d mode. Once in that mode there is a arrow button on top left screen that you touch to go back to 3d mode.

The dimming at night mode option will dim your nav depending on if your lights are on or off....at least in my car it does that...I installed the unit myself and didn't know jack about car audio installs before doing this one.

chad touching the map doesn't change to 2D; its letting you select another destination.

Another question for everyone> when scrolling on the map if i drag my finger to the right the map moves left and vice versa. This is kinda strange as my Avic D3 moves in the same direction.

So whats the question? This not a D3. It is working as designed.

Just wondering why they would do that (go opposite direction of finger motion). Man VBLUE you just hate me! But I do thank you for your help. I don't mind your negativity as long as I'm getting the help I need! You must be a Laker hater

Well I don't hate anybody. Noobs get on my nerves when they don't try to help themselves before coming here and posting questions that have been answered a hundred times before or the answer is right in front of them in the manual. There is a search feature on this forum that will isolate questions that have already been answered. Also. I understand not wanting to read the whole manual to answer one question. Therefor a download of the PDF version would make things a lot easier sense it also has a search function. This is what I do when I don't know the answer to a question before posting a new thread. Alright, I've got it out of my system now. Please try not to be rubbed the wrong way. As far as why they did what they did no one knows. IIts just a different way of operating the interface. You will be use to it in no time.

ummm when I touch the map it does go into 2D mode....

there is no destinations set when I do this so maybe you are asking how to do this when you are on a route?

touching the map does not go into 2D mode from 3D, the only way to do this is through the map settings, which is disabled if you're in motion. When I press the 2d mode from 3d I get the red circle so I can drag to my next destination on the map.

Wrong!!! Touching the map very much so puts the map view in 2D mode. It will be in 2D mode until you select a destination or you hit the arrow symbol at the top left.

Ok I'm gonna try it out tonight along with the text toi speech function. Believe me I hope I'm wrong! I would love to go in 2d mode from 3d while in motion instead of parking and switching through map settings.

The bypass will also fix the while in motion issue.

before I posted how you can go from 2d to 3d I went into my suv and made sure I wasn't going to say something that isn't true. You might have given that a try before telling me twice I was wrong...

I still haven't had a chance to check it, but I am praying you are right!

We are!!!

then why VBLUE did you post that I have to go to settings to change from 3d to 2d? check your first post

You do!!! What the hell are you talking about?

ok you posted that I have to be parked or do the bypass so that I can change the settings from 2d-3d. there are others here who say they can change it while in motion just by pressing the map. thats what im talking about.

Let me see if I can bridge the gap on this one. This applies to units where the bypass HAS NOT been done. VBLUE42 is correct. You can not change from 2D to 3D mode (and vise-versa) without the parking brake on. If you are viewing the map in 2D mode it will not change by touching the screen. If you are in 3D mode, the screen will change to 2D mode when you touch the screen, but only to utilize the cursor to find a street, POI, etc. If you do this while driving, notice that the screen will not change to follow your movement. It will stay fixed until you drag the map any direction, or hit the arrow in the top left to change back to 3D mode.

I suggest trying this while driving, and just leave the unit alone for a few miles, and you will see exactly what I'm saying. Eventually, your actual location will no longer be on the map, as it stays fixed.
