Had it installed today. Im overall pleased with it, they need to rework the climate control ABS.... but


How the hell you do set your radio presets? Ive not been able to find anything in the manual. Im done messing around with it. I must be totally stupid or something.

Thanks

Just about every radio out now sets the buttons by selecting a station then pressing the preset you want until it makes a beep or some other noise

that was quick... do you have pics of the final install? I'm leaning towards this unit.

dave1200

not the D3.. i tried that. It changes the channel immediatly when you hit the screen.

dave1200

not yet.Im taking some tomorrow.

Overall im pleased except for a few unexpected surprises..


The factory CD changer will not work... only front load now, If you have the nav on, you cant use the CD..becuase its DVD nav.

Then I get a call and they say they cant hook up teh factory bose subs, becuase the amp wont work with the unit, so I have to buy an amp also..

All out as around $1900 installed.


I do like the traffic monitoring though (navtraffic by XM sat)

Try this...go to manual tune then select a button, then manually select a station then hold down the button

Hmm interesting. So it only has one disc slot. The Eclipse 5435 unit in my ML430 has dual slots so I can load a music CD in one and a DVD movie/DVD Nav Data in the other and the two work concurrently.

The factory CD changre not working is expected. The bose amp for the subs issue is interesting. Hmm.

Thanks for the info!

dave1200

Yeah, one slot.... i didnt think about it really until it was too late. I dont listen to CD's that much anyhow.

Everything sounds sooo much better though with the new amp.
