Jepetto's Complete "Avic D3 Install" - Page 10

lafutura · 02-23-2009, 12:20 AM

yeah, i tried that button - no such luck. i'll check the yellow wiring as well. so i guess it's either a bad solder job or a fuse? nothing looks wrong with the wiring? if it's a fuse, where would i look for it? i tried searching online earlier to find out fuse locations for the radio and didn't have much luck.

any other ideas?

thanks!

joon joon · 02-23-2009, 12:22 AM

yeah the red and yellow are both equally important.. both are needed to turn on the radio... there should be a fuse on the back of the radio.. and the radio fuse should be under the dash.. look in the manual.. wiring doesnt look wrong from wat i see..

lafutura · 02-23-2009, 12:43 AM

bummer that it's nothing obvious.

i've now checked both red and yellow and they're solid.

i'll look at the fuse option. i did see the one in the back of the radio and will look in the manual for the other location. i am now hoping it is just a fuse issue - if not then this is going to suck big time.

joon joon · 02-23-2009, 12:50 AM

yeah.. too bad u werent closer.. i would help u out.. take a volt meter to the wires.. see if they are getting power..

lafutura · 02-23-2009, 01:12 AM

i wish i lived closer too.

i'll have to do the volt meter option in the morning. i did just check the fuses (and in turn become very familiar with my fuse box locations...man, the fuse for the radio is in a terrible place to get to!) and nothing is wrong with any of the ones that would be linked to audio.

arrrrrrgh!

thanks!

joon joon · 02-23-2009, 11:41 AM

weird... soemthing has to be wrong with the wiring then.. or the radio..

lafutura · 02-24-2009, 07:54 PM

finally found the problem. there was a pin on the metra harness that must have been slightly off as when i had connected it the pin got bent. straightening out the pin fixed the problem.

i ended up having to take it into someone who discovered this - all the fuses were good but it still wasn't getting power.

now it works perfectly. whew!

thanks for your help, joon joon, and thanks to the op for such a great tutorial.

joon joon · 02-24-2009, 09:40 PM

volt meter would have told u that haha.. glad u got it fixed though

072civic · 02-26-2009, 02:20 AM

how much does this cost from start to finish?

joon joon · 02-26-2009, 02:23 AM

for the d3 it could cost up to 700-900 with everything... d3, wiringing, dash kit, ipod adaptor, pac unit.. if u want just a regular radio it'll be much less... looking at 200-500

072civic · 02-26-2009, 02:37 AM

i still want the big screen just not the navi

joon joon · 02-26-2009, 02:40 AM

well double din radios go for about 400and up... depends on which one u want.. of course there are some that are less than 400 and those id usually stay away from.. keep to pioneer, kenwood, alpine, clarion..

072civic · 02-26-2009, 02:45 AM

which one would you recomend thats in a good price range

joon joon · 02-26-2009, 02:56 AM

not sure haha.. i havent looked into anything since i got my navi.. just look into pioneer, alpine, kenwood and clarion.. look at specs and reviews and base ur decision on that..

072civic · 02-26-2009, 02:58 AM

ok thanks.

joon joon · 02-26-2009, 02:59 AM

072civic · 02-26-2009, 03:02 AM

08SINHBP · 02-26-2009, 12:57 PM
