I'm lost, please help with wiring Avic-D3
Hi All:
I'm lost. I connected the basic wires (red/yellow/black) from the D3 to the metra 70-7551 wiring harness. The harnesses have 2 pairs of RCA for front and rear speakers.
Questions:
1. Am I to connect the D3's RCA to the metra's RCA ?
2. What do I connect the Blue/White (Amp turn on) and Black/White(Amp ground) from the metra radio harness to?
3. Also, can I connect the D3 ground (black) to the radio harness ground instead of the vehicle metal body?
Thanks....

Here's some answers....
1. Am I to connect the D3's RCA to the metra's RCA ?
YES
Metra Front RCA white plugs into D3 Front RCA white
Metra Front RCA black plugs into D3 Front RCA red
Metra Rear RCA light green plugs into D3 Front RCA white
Metra Rear RCA purple plugs into D3 Front RCA red
2. What do I connect the Blue/White (Amp turn on) and Black/White(Amp ground) from the metra radio harness to?
Metra Blue/white amp turn on connect it to the D3 amp turn on wire.
Metra Black/White amp ground, connect it to the ground wire of the metra and ground wire of the D3
3. Also, can I connect the D3 ground (black) to the radio harness ground instead of the vehicle metal body?
YES
Also, don't forget to bypass the D3 so you can use your navi, and watch dvd's while driving

Endleesses:
Thank you. This is exactly what I did. I have everything wired and ready to be put in this weekend.
I should point out that the D3 blue/white wire is labeled "remote control" but it could be used for AMP ON.
All I need now is to find out a good location for the GPS antenna, the reverse signal wire....

I did it. It took me most the day to do but everything work including video bypass except for the clock light bulbs (This is a common problem but I found it out after the installation. I recommend that you unplug the clock unit during installation to avoid this problem).
Here is a list of hardware needed:
1. Pioneer AVIC-D3 (Nav/Dvd,etc)
2. PAC-SWIPS (For power steering control)
3. Metra dash kit 90-7604
4. Metra radio harness 70-7551
The Metra dash kit looks pretty good. Even the buttons are not as bad as people think. The most difficult thing for me was to squeeze all the wires in the tight compartment behind the head unit...
Will post pictures when I have them....

k i found the kit I had seen w/the JDM HVAC controls. All the parts come separately: http://www.grubbsperformance.com/c/G...CoupeDash.html
Two questions, Whats the difference between the double dinn bracket w/o navigation and the one w/navigation? Also, are these brackets necessary? Or can you use the brackets that come with the HU?
