Hey all, this is my first post as I am now the proud owner of a D3 that I got on eBay for $600 (woot). Anywho, I don't know anything about installing car audio equipment. This pretty much forces me to go to the local car audio shop to get ripped off. This guy did a pretty good job over all, but I think he was either being lazy or skipping steps as some of my features aren't working properly. So far, I've been able to keep all of the products in the family and I'll list what I have.
AVIC-D3, GEX-P10XMT, ND-BC2 REAR VIEW CAMERA and the CD-I200 cable.
Problems that I'm having?
Camera works when selected in on the map view screen option, but not when the car is put into reverse.
Can't change the night/daytime display screen for the map. It's looks like it's set for daytime no matter what I change it to.
When I got home I noticed some wires were left over when I checked the boxes. Could someone tell me what these wires do? One is pink and the other is purple with a white stripe.
*sigh* I've been to this place numerous times for then to fix mistakes. If I didn't have to drive 2+ hours away to get the job somewhere else, I would have. It's starting to seem like that wouldn't have been a bad idea.
Here is the problem list.
1. Installed system, but did not connect antenna wire for Navigation, so I had none.
2. Didn't connect "DATA CABLE" (how do you miss this?) so I couldn't use the XMNAV TRAFFIC feature.
3. Both the XM radio and Navigation antenna are inside my car on passenger side dash. The instructions says it's supposed to be on the outside of the car, but they are working find and getting a strong signal. At least that's what the status displays say. So I guess this is no big deal.
Funny story about number 2. When everything was said and done and I found that cable in the box, the guy said to me. "heh, data cable, don't know what that's for, but don't worry about it, I got everything working." I couldn't figure out why it was saying that my Nav Traf feature wasn't working. I got XM going, so it must have something to do with the D3 or something. I looked at my installation book and sure enough found out the problem and went back the next day to have him fix it.
When the camera got hooked up today, we tried to figure out how to get it to come on when it goes into reverse. I remeber the first time everything was hooked up, he told me he did "the bypass". I'm not sure how he did it, but it worked and it wasn't done like it was posted on here. The reason I know this is because I showed him necro's flash tutorial and aparently he had done something different. So that's why we thought the camera wasn't working. So he went in and changed his bypass method to the one that necro posted and still nothing. He told me that in order for the camera to work, that he would have to hook everything up correctly. In other words, he would have to undo the bypass modification.
What I need from you guys is detailed instructions on what needs to be done to fix these two problems. Also, I need to know what to tell him to do with these two wires. If someone has the time and patience to type that up so I can print it out. I would be grateful. Like I said, I have no idea how car audio equipment works nor the tools to do the job. I am at the mercy of this half horse town and I want to get this done right sometime this week.
My car
2000 Oldmobile Intrigue GLS with BOSE system
The original deck has been trashed. The factory amp has been uninstalled and replaced by to other amps, a power cap and 2 12" subs.
Thanks in advance.
First off let me start by saying ouch and I'm sorry lol. Second, I think I can help. If you lived closer I could DEFINITELY help, cause I'd do it for you for free. This kinda stuff is like a hobby for me. But yeah, anyways, lets get started... First, your camera issue is linked to that purple cable with a white stripe that you mentioned later in the post that you said he left in the box. That cable plugs in to the brain where ever he mounted it and should run to the rear of the car. The other end of it at the rear of the car gets tapped into a lead of your reverse light. Left or right light it does not matter. The correct lead you need to tap into is the lead that changes voltage whenever you put the car into reverse (i.e. the hot wire) I have a GM so my wires for the reverse lights are black and green. Typically the negative will always be black so tap it into the other wire, whatever the color of it may be. You can also check this wire with a multimeter to curb any doubts if you are electronically inclined to do so. What this wire does and how it links to your camera problem is as follows: This wire tells the entire system when the vehicle is moving in reverse and not forward and also provides the switching input to the camera circuit so the "brain" knows to switch the camera on when you shift into reverse because your reverse lights will light thus activating this circuit. It has NOTHING to do with the bypass that he did and IF he did that bypass correctly, tell him to leave it the hell alone because that will not mess up what is happening to your camera. Second, as for the night / daytime problem... if you purchased / he charged you for a wiring harness along with the installation to make the hookup easier, then there's typically either an orange with a white stripe or just straight pure orange wire in the aftermarket harnesses that you connect to the Pioneer harness when you wire it up. The orange / orange and white wire, whichever you may have on your vehicle specific harness when you purchase it, is typically labeled ILL or illumination control wire. This is the lead that informs the unit whether the lighting is on or off and gives it direction on whether or not to use day or night mode. They didn't connect the GPS wire? Not quite sure why they wouldnt do that except for pure laziness I guess. Didn't connect the data cable either? I could maybe see that as there are two kinds of XM receivers for Pioneer head units and the other one has no data cable. Of course , it's just for music lol but if he installs a lot of those, he may not be used to looking for the data cable in the box. Both of your antennas are on the dash? Ehh, no big deal there I don't think. A lot of the installers are choosing to do that because it takes a little more work to route the cable around the vehicle to the outside. I have mine roof mounted, but my room mate mounted his like that and I've heard of several shops doing it. As long as the status display says things are great, I wouldn't worry. For the record, my room mate says he gets great reception. Don't know that I would print this entire artical out to hand it to him, lol. You could I guess, if you want him to know that all of us at AVIC-411 think he flunked install school. But let me continue lol... Thirdly, the pink wire you have in your photo is the VSS wire or Vehicle Speed Sensor wire. This wire connects also to the "brain" right next to the purple wire on the "brain". The other end of the wire should be tapped into the VSS or Vehicle Speed Sensor wire. You / he can find this wire by checking the wiring schematics of your vehicle in some sort of publication such as Chilton etc. or the internet or some sort of vehicle specific forum. They may even have a post of it on here somewhere if you search something like "Intrigue VSS". The VSS wire or Vehicle Speed Sensor wire goes from ur VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) on the car wherever it may be located, usually on the side of the transmission to the PCM or Powertrain Control Module (which is the vehicle computer under the hood) Some vehicles like GMs will have a wire coming up behind the dash radio that you can tap into because most GMs have a radio with noise dampening technology (they automatically control the radio volume to compensate for the outside road noise based on relative speed and the data for this is obtained from the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor wire like I mentioned above. You may or may not have that wire behind your dash depending on if your radio does the noise dampening thing. Even if it doesn't, there will ALWAYS be a VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) wire coming from the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) harness under the hood. You just have to find a publication or internet article to determine which color the wire is that you need to tap. A note for the pink wire and just and FYI for you so you are informed. The pink wire also helps ur GPS accuracy. GPS is an EXTREMELY weak signal because of it's wave length. So, when driving, if you enter a tunnel or under thick brush like tall trees down a narrow road or downtown in a big city with large buildings, especially with the dash mounted antennas, you will notice a significant decrease in antenna performance. That is the purpse of the pink wire. It gets continuous information from the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) on how fast the vehicle is going and does a little internal math and dynamics problems and correlates these results with the last known GPS fix that the antenna received. It then continues to plot your position on the map, in conjunction with the internal gyroscope (in the "brain") to give you very accurate position results even when satellite coverage is poor. This helps the information stay accurate in a tunnel or any of those other situations that I listed above. Hope these instructions were detailed enough. Forgive me as they were "too" detailed. I tried to do the best that I could and when writing instructions for these posts, I am never truly sure of the skill level of the reader so I don't want to leave things out. I'm not a professional but I'm an engineering student with a love / passion / hobby for electronics, especially mobile electronics so I enjoy doing things like this. I've installed three Pioneer AVIC units now so there's not much I haven't run across. Message me back and let me know if this helps and how it's going! 
Just incase I wanted to show him something from this page. This job shouldn't take no more than 30 min to an hour right?
