Jepetto's Complete "Avic D3 Install"

[joon joon]

if u dont have soldering skills its gonna be kinda hard...

[jandk08si]

So I was finally able to take some time to look through the install Best Buy did. I noticed that the 20pin amp connection was connected to the System Remote control. Looking through the Jepetto's install guide it needs to be connected to the ACC wire that connects to the F90Bt. I can post some pictures it anyone needs too, but what does everyone think. Like I said before I sux at this but I'm good at giving it a shoot.
Let me know once again thanks for everyone’s help!

Yeah connect it to the acc.. acc will act as the remote.. it'll turn on the stock amp

Would it matter if I'm using the metra 70-1722 or the bypass connection? I tried just moving the connection and my radio wouldn't turn on wonder if I did something stupid! Thanks for your help Joon

I think I fried my fuse in the back of my stereo I will be picking up a new one tomorrow morning. I am not sure what happened.

So far I i moved the amp wire and combinded with the red ACC wires from the harness and F90BT wires.

Thanks for everyones help once again.

the bypass wouldnt let the amp work... and i dont see y u would fry the fuse... the wire u moved shouldnt be live unless it was connected..

thanks for all your help Joon. I got it all hooked up and it works great. Just need to work on the bypass. Not sure if anyone has explained this but what is the VSS wire for mines isn't hooked up.
Thanks again

Gotcha, since it works fine I wont worry with the VSS wire.
Oh, the bypass I was talking about is being able to play the DVD when driving (which isnt reccomended)

Again, thanks for your help Joon Joon!!

all u gotta do is ground that wire....nothin to it

[joon joon]

Yeah just ground that wire

[michinsi]

I'm guessing this is similar to installing a F700BT?

[joon joon]

yup... pretty much the same for any headunit

It plays when im at a stop and up until im going about 12 mph thdn a screen comes up that says vewing the screen while in motion is strictly prohibited... Can anyone gimme a hand?

The hardware mod is indeed different as another poster mentioned. After you ground the parking break wire, you have to move the yellow/gray mute wire as the OP mentioned. However, it goes to a different spot on the f90bt. Here is a thread explaining: AVIC411.com • View topic - AVIC "F" Series Bypass (Picture Guide)

A software mod will also work.

just installed a f90bt in a '09 ex, this thread was great help. i used the newer pac (the blue one) works great, no real lag to speak of changing channels/tracks or volume.

I have the "premium sound system" in my '08 coupe. Has anyone used the Scosche ha10b? I'd rather bypass the factory stereo and use the higher quality Pioneer that I just paid for. I'm assuming the sound quality would be much better than integrating with the factory amp. If anyone has done this I'd like to know how it turned out. Is the amp located underneath the center console?

[michinsi]

I just followed the wiring diagram for my Alpine cda-9886 but my factory sub isn't turning on for some reason...help?

[joon joon]

u sure the amp signal wire is hooked up to a 12v accessory??

I'm 100% sure since I triple checked the wires. Red ACC wire from the headunit is wired directly to the amp signal wire. When I remove the wire, I have no sound at all...

[joon joon]

and ur for sure ur amp isnt on?? i dont think the amp is hooked to ur speakers.. just to ur sub.. but im not totally sure on that..
