MarK M Couldnt you use your headrest dvd as external dvd and have it come up on front monitor.

Grats on the intstall .. I wish I did mine myself when I had my D1 installed. (I think I'd have had less of a headache)

Good point! I'm gonna check it out this weekend. I'm sure all i would need is an adaptor of some sort or a spliter.

I have heard, what you need to do is find the box behind the radio with the yellow connector, and whack it with a hammer!

OMG, Just kidding! don't get near that thing!

BTW: I got one of those "Carchip" things. I got stopped for 30 min, by a train, on my way to work. I got a "letter of warning" for attendance. So, I printed out the chart that showed it all. They tore up the LOW. They were amazed I could do that...

It even showed that I could not go faster than 98MPH!

i'm completely lost.

Sounds cool but you should have started its own discussion its hidden away in this one

Looks nice, my H3 will be here on tuesday and I have an N2 to install. This topic will make it much easier. Is the stereo adapter, I'd need one to make a 1 din slot, and wiring harness adapter difficult to find for the H3? I did a quick search and didn't see anything.

[MarK M]

you can pretty much get everything at your local car stereo place except for the double din dash kit.

The only person i know that sells the H3 double din dash kit is kodiakz. Shoot him a PM if you need to get a dash kit.

AVIC-D1 question... for all those that installed the D1, I've been messin' around with the vehicle dynamics feature. Where it shows your the digital speedo, and the two small gauges flanking it.

my question is i got all gauges to work except "SLOPE" it says this function isnt working. Did I not attach a wire? How can I make this work?

thanks,

[MarK M]

bump, for the "slope" question on my D1

[deicustoms1]

My N2 also doesn't let me select slope as a gauge, I checked the installation manual to find out why awhile ago and it said the vss wasn't connected. But I went into the hardware info while driving and checked on the speed pulse and it was definately working.

If no one knows, I'll try to find out the problem when I install mine in the h3, and let you know.

same with me... speed pluse works for me and i cant get the slope to work. I'm off tomorrow for MLK, so i think i'll muck around and see if I can get it to work.

[MarK M]

im gonna try the yellow wire as suggested.

[MarK M]

I found this using the search.

http://elcova.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/2706067735/m/4...761018731#8761018731

my question is... I looked into that gray 64pin plug and see that there is three yellow wires.

two yellow wires and one yellow w/ black stripe.

can you help out f5fstop. Or h3'er can you tell me which yellow wire you used?

My purpose in all of this is to get the "slope" in vehicle dynamics to work. It's weird, everything seems to work except for that option. I mean, i can a speed pulse and everything. BTW, for your signal does yours say simple hybrid? I'm thinking it has to read something else to read the speed signal correct.

[deicustoms1]

Hey Mark, I'm about to install my n2 now. I was just wondering if you figured out that slope thing, and if you changed the speed sense from the pink/black wire in the small radio connector to somewhere else.

Also, did you get the lt. green reverse wire in the drivers kick, on the harness to the rear or did you get it elsewhere?

And, I think the d1 has a brain, where did you end up mounting that? anything else I should know before installing it? thanks

[MarK M]

Hey Deicustoms,

I actually spent a good amount of time and couldnt figure out the slope feature to work. I got fed up and just reverted back to the pink/black wire. Everything works great except for the slope feature. I'm sure one day i'll figure it out.

as for the reverse... i tapped to a brown wire on the drivers side A-pillar. much easier to access. the wire comes from the Mirror which un-dims the rear view mirror when reverse is selected. this triggers the signal for the rear cam to go on.

I'm not sure what you're talking about when you say brain. the D1 is one huge unit that goes where the stock radio went. I didnt mount anything other then the on-star module which I just tucked away in the BIG whole on the center console..

I hope this helps you out when installing your unit. Shot me a PM if you have trouble with any wires other then the slop... as I still havent figured this out myself.

cheers,

[deicustoms1]

Alright, thanks for the info. And I guess the D1 doesn't have a seperate brain. The N2 has a unit seperate from the headunit, that mounts somewhere like under a seat, and you hook up connections like antennas, and video to that. So nevermind that question then.

[deicustoms1]

Ok...mostly got the n2 installed. I tapped the pink/black wire in the small radio connector, and for some reason I don't get a speed pulse.

I didn't want to pull the drivers a-pillar off cause there is an airbag in there, but I looked under the dash, got the harness that goes up to thru the a-pillar, I only saw a light brown wire, tapped that (what a pain...) and my n2 didn't see the car as in reverse.

But my slope works now..somehow

hmm...
