Just installed the D3! *Pictures*Have a couple questions....

The D3 protrudes a lot further than I'd like and the border that comes with it doesn't look all that great and leaves spaces around the unit. The way that my system is set up, there's also a gap behind the border and my dash because the mounting bracket sticks out a little and pushed the border out as well. If I had a thicker and deeper border, I could dremel the inside to make it fit more flush.

 

1) Are there standard borders (thicker and deeper than the one that comes with it) that fit the D3 more snug around the edges? And yes, I've searched for trim kits for my car (1998 Volvo V70) and couldn't find a double din kit. :cry:

 

2) What software works for burning the nav DVDs?

 

3) What are the optimum video settings I should use?

 

Thanks in advance!

You could try a trim ring from a d1 or d2.

:) haha...when I wrote ".......", I really wasn't being impatient. I started a reply about the pictures not showing up and tried to delete it, but it wouldn't let me delete just the reply...I would have to delete the whole post, so I just put something in there and it happened to be "......."

 

Boring story, I know.

Great idea! They're pretty much the same dimensions, right? I've been looking for just a generic trim kit that fit's well around the unit, but can't find one. Do you know of any?

Sounds like a good program. I burn DVDs alot using AnyDVD and CloneDVD, but I don't think it burns programs like the nav discs. Do you use the Nero Digital Pro? Do you know of any freeware that might work?

 

Sorry I ask a lot of questions! Thanks very much for your help!

 

Are the pictures showing up now?
