I'm looking at buying a Pioneer Avic-D1 or D2, does anyone have any experience with either? I know the N-3 is out now but I don't need to watch DVD's nor do I like the fold out monitors anymore. The D2 new on ebay is about a grand, if anyone has any info let me know.

 

I have a D1 installed. For the price, it's not too bad at all but if you can spend a little extra, I'd go with an Eclipse double-din unit.

 

did you use the gxe dash kit? and why the eclipse unit?

 

Yup, I used the GXE kit. There will be a small gap at the bottom. You can fix that with a strip of plastic. The Eclipse units have better sound quality plus better warranty. Not sure how the navi compares to the Pioneers though. The navi on the D1 does fine for me.

 

::insert shameless plug for djfrestyl's Eclipse AVN-5435 for sale here::

 

Did you ever look of putting the stock nissan navigation in your car? I just bought and OEM Nissan naviation system of the internet and am trying to figure out how to install it. I have a 2003 maxima with the bose but without navigation, I think i have to buy a wiring harness or something but im not sure. Do you guys have any ideas?

 

Should have searched before wasting your money, your hosed...

 

sad but true....

 

No one that I know of, to date, has sucessfully installed a Nissan OEM navi system in their non-navi car.

 

Can go wrong with eclipse.. and the fit can be made perfect by a good installer.
