Where did you order it from? The best deal on the net now is from SonicElectronix.com. You get an install kit and a wire harness. included in the price. And the warranty is through them which has great reviews.
Check out AVIC411.com for loads of info on how to do the bypass for the DVD and navi while in motion. Basically all you have to do is ground the parking brake lead and move the mute wire up one slot in the main wire harness and then ground it as well. You will also need to trim your dash if you haven't already.
I just installed mine a few weeks ago and love it. It was a much better choice vs the Z2 as the D3's interface is much newer and you can change the color scheme to match the ford green dash lights.

Yeah they can. Pretty easy too. Check Avic 411 under one of the many BYPASS threads and itll tell you how to do it. You basically have to connect the wire that is suppost to connect to the parking break and i think the yellow "always on" wire to your ground as well as switch the position of one wire in your harness. Check Avic 411 for sure. I did it and it works great. Good luck and enjoy.
