nice work.

the adapter i think was for the 01-04?
correct me if im wrong

C24owner

There are two adapters. One for the 01-04 and one for the 05+ you need the PIONEER CA-R-PI.133 I believe

Do they have a Bluetooth phone kit for it? And will it work with the steering wheel controls.

C24owner

Yes, and no it will not work with the steering wheel controls.

This is the Bluetooth adapter Link

very nice, the headlight looks very clean.
will the Avic-D3 work with Bose system? Do you have to by pass the subwoofer amp?
thanks

C24owner

Thanks

I honestly have no clue if it will work with the bose or not, sorry.

coolli2

I am talking about the Bose system that came with the stock stereo, song like you didn't have that option. otherwise you would known.

Man, I got stuck with the god damn Bose.

kevblah

i hope it works with stock bose, cuz im planning on an avic-d3 soon and i have the bose package

C24owner

My car didnt come with the bose system, so I never looked in to it.

If I remember correctly, you need to bypass the amp in the trunk. Try doing a search. I dont think that it is all that difficult to do the bypass.

I can't find any info on steering wheel adapters compatible with the 2006+

I'm looking at installing the AVIC D-3 with the iPod a C230 2006, there are many steering wheel adapters but I just can't confirm that they work with the 2006 and newer models.

Crutchfield sells this: PAC SWI-PS - Pioneer and Sony (manufacturer's site www.pac-audio.com)

There is this PIONEER CA-R-PI.131 as well but it doesn't say that it's compatible with the 2006.

If someone ever finds a Steering Wheel adapter for the AVIC D-3 that is compatible with the 2006 C230 please let me know.

All I want is to be able to control iPod playlists, change to CD, DVD or/and Navigation and control volume with the steering wheel on a C230 2006 with the AVIC D3.

By the way, I went to the local dealer that installs super high quality stereos and they said that the AVIC D3 would not fit on a 2006. Huh??

C24owner

CA-R-PI.133 is for the 2005+ models

Headlights look sick! might be my next mod
whay didnt you do black to match the grille, rims and roof?

C24owner

Thanks bro. I didnt want to change to look of the bix drastically. The silver, IMO is different, yet still classy.



And I had Silver paint left over from painting the body kit.

hows everything going with Vogtland?

C24owner

I got a call from them a few days ago. They said the springs are ready, and only have a few.
So, I am going to order mine today

Deker

Can you tell me where you took the speed pulse from? was it supplied to the ISO by the CA-R-PI.133 kit?

Got the headunit, just trying to sourse a steering control adapter.

Thanks

Derek

C24owner

Try ebay spian. Thats where I got mine.

MRK

Did you do anything special to get the cluster to show the Pioneer? I just installed a D-3 in my '06 w203 with the CA-R-PI-133 and it just shows dashes in the cluster. Thanks, Mike.

C24owner

No, nothing special. Try messing with the connections. maybe it isn't in fully.

vikingmike10

Thanks for the reply. I just had it completely apart yesterday to finish the bypass(forgot to ground the wire from the D3) and all of the connections seem snug.

How is your radio reception?
