Hi, I'm new on here. I just installed my AVIC-D3 but I keep getting this error message "Please Insert Appropriate Disc". When I insert the navigation disc, I keep getting this message over and over again, like it's in a infinite loop. I have to wait 24 hours for the memory to be wiped out in order for it to boot up properly again but as soon as I start the engine, this message comes up again, then I have to wait another 24 hours. Note: I haven't taken it out of the garage yet so it'll find a GPS signal, could this be it. Please HELP! Thanks so much for all your time.

Has anybody else had this problem?

Try resetting it. If that doesn't work, you may need to take it back and get another one.

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it but I have tried resetting it over and over again to no avail. Magnolia or Pioneer won't give me a new one, all they'll do is service it which I think is BS cause I bought a lemon.

Well, if they service it, that should fix it.

i've had the same problem with mine. the shop i bought it from seems to think it could have something to do with it being bypassed. the weird thing is it worked fine up until about two months ago. it started doing it every once in a while, but is happening more often now.

i think it might have something to do with the gps. i noticed once, before i turned the truck off, that it didn't know what time it was, then when i started it back up i got the insert appropriate disk error.

What did you do to fix the problem?

I'm having this issue right now - any suggestions?

Same problem I'm having...still going after the seller to get a replacement. If that doesn't work I will have to send it in. I heard that by going into the service menu there were some options that may help but I can't seem to get the service menu to come up on mine.

Someone hopefully has an idea for us....

Hell I'll pay for a fix... The damn thing is a paperweight right now. I hate paying pioneer 200 bucks for a repair when I used this damn thing for less than 12 minutes before this happened

The only fix i could find was by unplugging the GPS Antenna the head unit will work but it makes the GPS useless

never seen this prob but obviosly it happens

have yall tried to use the disk that is brend new? whichever disk you dont use for your area? give it a try

Yeah, I have tried both disks... it doesnt work o well

i replaced the discs and the problem went away!

Its gps antenna, its not getting a good enough signal. What you have to do is before you turn on your car put your hand on the end of the gps antenna "on the magnetic box thing" its been working every time when i get that issue.. And yes you can also just unplugg your gps antenna but i like useing my gps
