help


ps -- no, this isnt my first time instauling electronics.

 

I think you either didn't hook up the main harness fully (or at all)

Or you kinda disconnected the face from the rest of your hu - its actually quite common

Oh yeah, did you disconnect your battery when you did the install?

 

yeah disconnected the batter 1st ............ wait . you can disconect the face . how?

how do i get it back on. possible?

 

ya the face is probably pulled from the actual radio unit behind it. Theres a little plug on the left side and right if i remember, and a few screws holding the onto the cd unit. Check that out first, same kind of thing happened to me. Try pushing hard on the face on the sides and see if anything changes

 

Hey do you guys know of any double din install kits

 

for a avic-d3

 

yeah do a forum search for d-3 adn instaul pics will come up as well as the kit and the guide.

nothing changed any other ideas?

 

will it flash on at all for a second when you push and move things around, or is it completely dead. dumb question, but are you sure you have all the plugs connected and theres no wires that pulled out of the plug at all?

 

all plugs connected ... tripple checked. push n nothing.

 

maybe you popped the fuse?

 

though the wire harness may be secure, you may have bent one of the tiny metal rods within the harness. This is what happened to me, I suggest you physically remove the whole radio and inspect the rear ports where you plug in the varios harnesses.

If a rod is bent, simply straighten it out (I used small needle nose pliers) and carefully plug in the harness.

 

I've been posting on the thread with hk drive + play and is auxmod advanced here and I need to talk with someone who removed their head unit. I have a 20004 RX8 and I removed the nut from the bolt up under the drivers seat. Did everything from the tutorials especially whatsmyrip. Can't free the upper left side of the stereo. Got the right side free.

 

Started a thread under head unit stuck and got a very helpful reply Thanks

 

there is one double-din dash unit that works for the 8...where you dont loose your HVAC...
you can get it from Corksport...
its awesome, looks factory but isnt cheap..
i just had one installed with the pioneer avic d3

well worth the investment

 

i have a d3 in my other car. Really I just hate all of the kits that are out there right now.... they all look cheep so i may just make one out of cf and get my buddy to bake it for me. i dunno ... sooo much work....
