Just got my hands on a Display Avic-D1 from Circus City @ $280.46. Took it to a "Professional" to install it. He charged me $150 and almost installed it.

Everything was working out beautifully till this morning when it gave me the "Please enter the correct disc crap message...

A) So what I did was hold down the eject button for a couple of seconds to be able to reach the lower slot. (Never had I touched that slot. West Coast DVD was already in when I purchased it.)

When I did open the screen it never went back up again. It's stuck down there for good it seems. I tried:

- Resetting using button

- Removed All the god damn fuses for more than 30 secs.

- Took the unit out, tried closing the LCD while unit in my hands

- Pulled all plugs and reconnected after 3 minutes.

- Re-installed unit flawlessly.

Funny thing is, upper cd slot works normal, CD's will play and the only functional button on the units are the Volume Buttons.

The screen seems to be showing all white and nothing else. Please shed some light on this if you can. Has anyone had that happened to them??

Unit never turned off when I tried it. I know all about the Source & Display button... but the problem is my amp and the speakers. It has drained my battery twice in the last five days. Power cable is coming from the Battery, to cap to stereo and then to the amp. The installer crook said that the AVIC should automatically turn it off when the switch is out of the ignition. But I don't trust a god darn word out of his filthy mouth.

1- Car's power will not effect the unit & amp & speaker in anyway.

2- When I turn off the unit's power using SRC button, Blue Side Lights will remain on, however I can hear the annoying hissss sound from the speakers, until battery runs out.

Anyone knows if it needs rewiring or what it needs???

C) Eject button of DVD-ROM (Lower Slot) is not functioning at all. Now, I still haven's tried the combination code for it yet, and also it was sold to me as the floor unit so that probably will fix the problem. However, this morning it started giving me the "Incorrect Disc" message which started it all.

I have a 2005 GMC Yukon SL - came with Bose CD player and 4 Bose Speakers.

Also I have:

-OnStar (which I barely use, specially with the Nav on the AVIC)

-GM ANTI-THEFT Passkey II lock.

-Volume, Source... steering wheel control

- 15" after market monitor for back seats.

- Soon to be installed: Remote Starter and Keyless Entry and keyless window control (Going to install myself)

- Custom bluetooth handsfree technology through AVIC and my Palm Treo 700p. (Will be installed by me)

Had installer guy, install the AVIC D1, four new speakers, amp and a '10 woofer (No Box).

-OnStar does not work

-Power Brake cable is not connected

-Steering wheel does not work

-Unit and Amp and speakers will only turn off upon ejection of fuses.

I appreciate you reading this long ass help topic from your fellow, newbie, Pioneer loving friend and soon expert on the AVIC series.

Please feel free to reply even if you just have ONE word to say.

Every little bit helps.

Oh, and did i mention that I am through spending another penny on the stereo or the car or myself??

Thanks again and have a great one!

05 GMC Yukon SL 4D

AVIC D1 HU

4 x ALLMMANI SPEAKERs

Some AMP

'10 Woofer (No Box)

Backseat '15 Pulldown screen

OnStar

Siruis Ready

Steering Control...

God Bless and Take Care.

sounds like another reason why you shouldnt buy displays/refurbished/opened box units. I dont think there is anything you can do other than ship it in for repair, at 200 dollars cost.

I agree with you 100%. The only reason I bought this particular unit is that it is discontinued and no other store in the area (Bay Area) carries it. So, as soon as D3 is coming out, I am taking this to the store and getting it replaced with a D3 at no charge:

$280 Open Box D1@Circus City

$180 2 Year CC Warranty

$460 Total Cost of Goods

Now four hundred sixty compared to a thousand is like one half of the price for a brand new D3. I think thats well worth it.

P.S. The mofo... screen is still stuck down there. Anything I can do about that to fix it???

Brand new d3 at no charge? Good luck with that. As for the rest of your problems, sounds like an installation problem.

Had installer guy, install the AVIC D1, four new speakers, amp and a '10 woofer (No Box).

-OnStar does not work

-Power Brake cable is not connected

-Steering wheel does not work

-Unit and Amp and speakers will only turn off upon ejection of fuses.

Ok you say you had "Installer Guy" who is that? Someone that worked for Circuit City? Sounds like whoever did it did not sell you the $100 harness needed to make that work. The OnStar function and BOSE system is kept by using a Metra GMOS-04. He didn't connect the parking brake wire because he is lazy. The steering wheel controls are not going to work with the aftermarket HU unless you buy something like a PAC SWI-X and pay to have that installed. And the HU and Amp will not turn off because there is no ACC wire in the wire in the harness of the 2003-newer Yukons. The GMOS-04 corrects that and gives an ACC wire. Sounds like the installer just tied in your ACC and Constant wires from the AVIC-D1 into your factory 12v contant wires.

Thanks. I have been blinding myself, searching through forums.

What I found out myself is its because of the RAP. The only weird thing is that that only stays on for 10 mins, but on my Yukon it stays on forever. I was looking inside the dash and found out that the m***er f***in stereo guy, didn't connect any of the cables correctly. And he did the slopiest job cutting and connecting the ones he did, and since my baby d-won is going to Pioneer Repairs tomorrow i though maybe I should re-do the whole thing from scratch.

I'm also feelin so ballsy, Imma install a DEI 265B, keyless&Start while I', at it. Remote and Starter was $29, 1700g Databus Interface was $59.99.

Got my fu*kin fingers crossed though. Any advice??
