I've just been and bought one of them i Pod things and I want to connect it to the car stereo. I have the base line stereo but dispite looking around the forum I cant find a deffinate way of connecting the i pod to the stereo. Some of you say the back of the upper glove box others say the back of the centre console/ cubby box. I had a look in the glove box earlier and there doesnt appear to be anything there. Theres nothing at the back of the cubby box either. Any ideas? A previous owner has...

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can help, i have a GVIF interface unit that i'm selling as never fitted, but i don't know if it actually works and could do with testing it before hand.

Does anyone in the warwickshire area or nearby have one installed that could just swap the unit over to test it for me, and then i can confirm that it is all working etc

Posted: Wed Sep 01 2010 10:51am (GMT 1)

Hi Folks,

Recently fitted a Codan 9323 to the D3.

Unfortunately it seems that the vehicle is producing some birdies, but only when the the engine is actually running which to me points to an ECU.

Just wondering if others have experienced this and have found a solution.

One strong one is @ 21.185Mhz which of course is bang on one of my travellers nets..

In Car Electronics (D3) • SatNav Disc issues

This is puzzling me, I passed on my recent SatNav Disc, worked perfectly for me but the new owner seems to be having issues with it.

I have been told its downloaded which is good, but wont allow him to enter FULL postcodes, are we overlooking the obvious?

I did'nt have this problem myself, as I said it worked fine for me and was purchased from Wiggs.

Posted: Mon Aug 30 2010 5:06pm (GMT 1)

This has annoyed me a couple of times now : Phone is connected to BT module in car. I leave the car and lock it. Pick up phone outside car to make a call, no audio. Try again, then realising that the audio is still routed through D3 BT module. Is there a way to program the module to shut down when locking the car with keyfob ? Searched and found lots of threads on connection setup issues, none on releasing....The D3 is a MY2008 SE with factory fitted BT.

Pulled in to a car park to today, turned off and removed the key and the engine was still running - very odd
I put the key back in, turned it through the accessory position into the normal running position, turned off slowing and it turned off as normal. working ok now, but who knows with these things, anyone else had similar?

...in my case the reversing camera.

I would like the reversing camera to be powered either by reverse gear being selected (current setup) or by a switch independently. Am I right in thinking a switching relay is all that is required as below to choose between power sources and not fry the camera? (the switch will be between contact 87a and the camera)

The unit plugs into the ECU connector and then connects via Bluetooth to a Garmin gps. Cost less than $180 AUD, has a graphical readout of various engine functions and also the ability to read and reset fault codes.
I have seen a youtube video of the system and the fault codes where converted into a useable text form. As the test car was a Ford, I am wondering if it would work on a D3.

Hi All,

Can anybody throw some light on what happens once you've tuned the TMC channel on the navigation screen (Classic FM) what I mean to say is should it stay on the channel for ever more or does it drop the channel if it losses reception or something? I've tuned it a few times and everything seems ok but then perhaps the next day or later that day when I use the car next I notice that there is a red line through the TMC icon, when I go back into the TMC setup screen the...

One of the things I’ve not been that happy about with my Parrot 9200 installation is the non-std look of the little screen.
I’m going to source another ‘H’ Trim and modify it to accept the screen before re-spraying it, but in the mean time I’ve made it look a bit more ‘factory fit’ by using the attached image as the wallpaper for the screen.
Hopefully it will be useful for somebody else.

Anybody had this one? When I select reverse in my D3 HSE the mirrors now raise and point skywards instead of dipping and pointing earthwards. I've tried disabling and re-enabling them but they still do the same. They only started doing this earlier today so they will probably sort themselves out later. It was raining heavily today so I'm blaming that.

No big deal, contacted Vodafone to get reconnected and they were adamant they wanted £40 for a new dongle. Moved to orange data at £5 per month but I cannot get the dongle or...

I am having trouble with my HK amp and have bought a replacement. I can see that the amp is held on by 4 bolts that unscrew, which I have done. The amp then has 5 banks of wires connected to it, 2 of which come out very easily (grey and black blocks), but the other 3 will not budge. How do you remove these other sockets without breaking the things?

Also, do I need to take the seat out to remove the amp, or does it slide out from under the front of the seat?
