As for the location thing, dumb question but did you set your home location already? Mine thought I was in the midwest somewhere and kept telling me to put the correct nav disk in, when I live on the east coast. Fixed when I entered my home location.

Side note for anyone using the ipod cable and planning to pretty much leave the ipod in the car all the time - There is plenty of room between the top of the Avic and the bottom of the cubby inside of the dash to stuff the cable and ipod itself in and just leave them there out of sight.
I have a large leather case thing on mine that keeps it from moving around, and any time you need to take it out just unscrew and pop out that one little trim piece inside the cubby.

I am going to install Pioneer AVH-P6050DVD, after read through this thread, the items that I need in order to complete the installation are:-
1. PAC SWI-PS
2. PAC ROEM-NIS2
3. Metra Dash Kit
Please let me know if I left out any item.
Beside, my Z came with the navi system but I will disable the navi system. However, can anyone tell me how's the wiring to the stok monitor to Pioneer AVH-P6050DVD.

Also general question for avic D3 owners, can you listen to music while using the navigation system (assuming you're using an iPod as your source, not a cd)? The demo on Youtube that the OP posted showed him using the nav but he didn't have music playing. I'm assuming you can do both at once, but before I drop big $$$ on something I want to be sure. Thanks!

ipod automatically turns on and off with the car. you do NOT have to manually turn it on everytime.
YES, you can listen to music (ipod) while using the navigation. when the navi voice speaks, you can have it either speak over the music playing, or just temporarily mute the music.
hope that helps!

2. There are 4 wires on the PAC that aren't being used because I didn't find any matching wires on the Avic harness. Is that cool or do those need to go somewhere (see pic below):
- LF low level (+) - white/red
- RF low level (+) - gray/red
- LR low level (+) - green/red
- RR low level (+) - purple/red
There's very little info out there on the PAC wiring so hopefully this will help those in the same cruch as me.

Hey guys, I got my D3 installed about 6-7 months back by a buddy of mine he used to work at Circuit City. He did a great job, he did the Ipod hookup for me, so I didn't noticed until the next day that my Radio (am/fm) didn't work. I asked him he said either, he didn't push the plug in all the way or it needs some sort of converter for the pioneer radio. I never listen to the radio so I didn't even care, but now I want to listen to it. I took the dash apart and looked and doesn't look like I'm missing anything and it's pushed in all the way (I think). Am I missing something, is my radio not working? I have a different antenna so I thought that was it, but I put stock one on and nothing. It's just all fuzz, I get one or two radio stations here and there but they sound like sht. Any suggestions? I don't wana bother him with somethign this small, I might just get XM or serious, but don't wana pay to listen to the Radio.

I had the same problem. You need to connect the "Power antenna" wires. I followed the tutorial word-for-word the first time around and thats why I had fuzz but i went back and looked at the wiring and kicked myself for not connecting it the first time. Works like a charm now.

get a tiny flat head and use it to push down on the tab then use sliding force to pry it out. to this day i still can't disconnect those things without a flat head.

I was determined to get it off and ended up breaking a piece of plastic off...that plastic part should've made it come loose but its still stuck in there like a *****.
thats why im convinced someone glued it haha...everything else came off with ease.
