got the D1 installed!!!

[MarK M]

thanks to kodiakz for the dash kit...


anyways, was wondering if anyone who has installed the d1 or similar if you can help me out.

first, where do I hook up the brake sensor/cable coming from the deck? I think the unit still works but i get a message saying that I havent plugged that wire in properly. I would like to hook it up so that I dont get that annoying message.

second, i think i got the speed signal correct, but i can test that for sure when i acutally use the NAV. Is there anything in particular to look for if the speed signal isnt working? Like will the nav work. I notice when going to NAV mode that I couldnt set a destination.

thanks!

Looks nice, my H3 will be here on tuesday and I have an N2 to install. This topic will make it much easier. Is the stereo adapter, I'd need one to make a 1 din slot, and wiring harness adapter difficult to find for the H3? I did a quick search and didn't see anything.

Ok, so for the non monsoon radios the black plug that everyone suggested to tap into with the green wire turns out to be for the base radios is the same plug however its the pink wire w/ black stripe. Its on the same location as the green wire if I had the monsoon radio.

as for the parking brake, I was attempting to reroute the wire to the passenger side so i can tap into the kick panel and in doing so, I was under the steering column moving the brake sensor wire from the radio and low and behold i saw a lt. blue wire where the parking brake foot pedal is. I was like WTH, so I tapped in that and woohoo it worked!

I found this using the search.

my question is... I looked into that gray 64pin plug and see that there is three yellow wires.

two yellow wires and one yellow w/ black stripe.

can you help out f5fstop. Or h3'er can you tell me which yellow wire you used?

My purpose in all of this is to get the "slope" in vehicle dynamics to work. It's weird, everything seems to work except for that option. I mean, i can a speed pulse and everything. BTW, for your signal does yours say simple hybrid? I'm thinking it has to read something else to read the speed signal correct.

[MarK M]

i know what you mean by 8-hours is enough for one day. I was there. Hence why I still havent gotten my slope to work...

It puzzles me that your slope works with the same wire i'm plugged into.

anyways, keep me posted!

Is the pink/black wire you tapped into in a hole closest to a corner of that connector? Or is it in furter? Also were did you end up putting your gps antenna.

I stuck mine in the middle back on the roof, right above the rear door. I couldn't seem to find another location that it would look normal, so just curious...

[MarK M]

damit...

Ijustfound out that my on-star and phone isnt working. I have the on-star module (GMAH24)and I triple checked the wires to make sure they were plugged correctly.

Any ideas? Does anyone have a pic of their module wired so that I can compare my wiring?

[kodiakz]

Glad to hear you got it working! Where did you end up tapping into a vss wire?

Mark M, my H3 has Monsoon Sound System, so there may be a difference in wiring between Basic and Monsoon ???

MarK M Couldnt you use your headrest dvd as external dvd and have it come up on front monitor.

Hey Deicustoms,

I actually spent a good amount of time and couldnt figure out the slope feature to work. I got fed up and just reverted back to the pink/black wire. Everything works great except for the slope feature. I'm sure one day i'll figure it out.

as for the reverse... i tapped to a brown wire on the drivers side A-pillar. much easier to access. the wire comes from the Mirror which un-dims the rear view mirror when reverse is selected. this triggers the signal for the rear cam to go on.

I'm not sure what you're talking about when you say brain. the D1 is one huge unit that goes where the stock radio went. I didnt mount anything other then the on-star module which I just tucked away in the BIG whole on the center console..

I hope this helps you out when installing your unit. Shot me a PM if you have trouble with any wires other then the slop... as I still havent figured this out myself.

cheers,

[deicustoms1]

My N2 also doesn't let me select slope as a gauge, I checked the installation manual to find out why awhile ago and it said the vss wasn't connected. But I went into the hardware info while driving and checked on the speed pulse and it was definately working.

If no one knows, I'll try to find out the problem when I install mine in the h3, and let you know.

BB is correct, but may I add a caution.
The black connector to the radio, contains two dark green/white wires, so make sure to look carefully at the photo supplied by BB and connect to the correct wire on terminal E. The other wire is the class 2 serial buss wire.

The photo you displayed, is of the underhood junction (fuse) block and the connectors circled are primarily ignition supply voltages, ground or crank voltage.

[deicustoms1]

Ok...mostly got the n2 installed. I tapped the pink/black wire in the small radio connector, and for some reason I don't get a speed pulse.

I didn't want to pull the drivers a-pillar off cause there is an airbag in there, but I looked under the dash, got the harness that goes up to thru the a-pillar, I only saw a light brown wire, tapped that (what a pain...) and my n2 didn't see the car as in reverse.

But my slope works now..somehow

hmm...

[deicustoms1]

Alright, thanks for the info. And I guess the D1 doesn't have a seperate brain. The N2 has a unit seperate from the headunit, that mounts somewhere like under a seat, and you hook up connections like antennas, and video to that. So nevermind that question then.

its actually fairly easy, its just you need to know where these wires are located. But its good that Kodiakz is doing yours, you'll get it done in no time!

DAMN! I am so confused now!

just did a search and found what pcm is and where its located. Before i route the speed sensor through the firewall and into the pcm can it be tapped inside the car?

as well as the brake sensor?

Kodiakz - when you say the parking brake is lt. blue at the switch, which switch are you referring to?
