Ok bought my D3 off of ebay and I think I might have a problem. It is all installed ok and the bypass work great, video looks great, sounds even better, but the I am curious about my display.... when the unit is off or in the AV menu the background looks almost like brushed aluminum, not all black but kind of like horizontal lines all through the display. It's only the background, doesn't show through the overlays or anything. Unfortunately none of my local vendors have a D3 on display yet, is this normal? Thanks for the help.

Yes, your unit is fine.

Ok, I feel much better now... I thought it looked kinda cool since the tahoe has a brushed aluminum dash it matches

Haha I thought the same exact thing when I first installed my D3. Why does Pioneer use such an ugly default background? I'm surprised they didn't use something w/ their logo.

For what it's worth, there are a series of other backgrounds on the Nav disks. I think there are 3 patterns in each of the menu colors (blue, red, white, green, yellow). Or upload your own.
