Anyone heard anything about this?



I recently found out about it on Pioneers site. Its basically their D2 successor, debuting this March.

Double-DIN, NAV, DVD playback, XM/Sirius Ready, 6.1" Screen, iPod Direct Control Ready, Bluetooth Ready, illumination customizable. For around $1,000.

I'm interested, any opinions/suggestions? I am on AVIC411.com right now reading up.

 

I saw this two, there is a video on youtube showing all its features.
looks like a cool unit.

 

1000 bucks, not bad

 

looks promising

yea i saw the video on youtube. for all the features the price is great. i have always wanted to get an avic n2 when i get to my music setup but i think this is too good of a deal to pass up.

 

looks cool...the major things I like about it are the price point and how "stock" it looks.

 

Sounddomain already has a pre-order price of $950...I think when it comes out, we'll see it in the high $800s.

 

Makes me wish I had waited. I just had a AVIC-D2 installed. Couldn't pass up the deal though. Last one the shop had, and got everything installed for $800, rear camera included. Do kind of wish it had DVD playback, but it's better for us not to have it. I already have too much fun playing around with it while driving.

 

the one thing i don't like about the d3 is its only 1 drive so you have to take the map disk out to play music cd's after you set the navigation.

 

Wow, good find. I'm going to look into this more. Everything I want within a good price range.

 

I was looking all morning for that HU. I saw it on friday and I forgot to make it a favorite.

That HU is a great deal for all the features it has. Very very tempting

 

Found it for $784 with ground shipping. Out of Brooklyn, NY!

^^ Thanks for the link

 

Maxima_Polak, nice job! I want one soon. Are you worried at all with the Warranty though? Please tell me you got the 3yr extended?

gangsta_max, I just read that thread on avic411 and was going to post it. Good find regardless.

 

I didn't get the extended because I know people who can fix it "IF" it ever malfunctions.

 

Thats good then. I don't really know anyone who fix headunits, so I am definitely going to get a warranty.

 

Meh Ill stick with Eclipse. 3 year warranties are included.

 

Wow nice find on the website everything on that site is cheap if I dont get the d3 im def gettin the s1 from there.

 

Kind of a random question. But will an updated mapdisk change the way the maps looks? Or add features? Lots of construction so I am thinking of getting an updated one.

 

Yes very cheap. Too bad no support or warranty from Pioneer, regardless what they claim..

 

Honestly...havent checked into it. Although not very hard to check, theres plenty of people here that Im sure wouldnt mind makin ya a copy.

 

No prob...
D3 great bang for the $$buck$$ I can get them for $800

 

so that's cheaper with shipping

 

is this website trustworthy?

EDIT: just found this http://www.epinions.com/pr-Online_St...splay_~reviews

 

Seems alot of people think not. Of course the fact that they claim a manufacturers warranty that they cannot backup should also say something about theyre shadyness.

 

looks really nice and clean , is there anything you can do about the gap on the bottom of the radio???

 

it'll be like $15-20 more for shipping w/ins... within the US of course

yes... cut a thin strip of abs plastic to fill the gap

 

Friend of mine purchased one from crutchfield and I installed it today. Very easy to install. The unit looks great in his dash and does a great job with iPods, I was thoroughly impressed with its functionality and no lag with the ipod. The touch screen worked great and radio and cd player functions were nice, the nav worked fantastically as well... I must say this is probably the best bang for the buck navigation HU available. Hopefully eclipse and others come up with some competition for it so the consumer market can find some great navi options for great prices.

 

Is it compatible with disc changers? With all the cd's I have I don't want to keep changing cd's anymore.

 

the only down about this unit is that it only has 1 slot for dvd/cd/map. So you would have to lad where you are going then take that disk out and then put your cd in.

 

as well as the significantly smaller screen than most.

 

It doesn't seem all that small when working with it, but compared to the pics of the Jeff's unit def a smaller screen.

You can run a CD changer with it, the unit has it's own port for the ipod. "IPod direct" is what it's called I believe.

 

Does anyone know if it will work with a Zune(x-mas present)??

 

You can get an adapter to plug it into the IP bus, but you will still have to control the zune in order to switch tracks etc.

 

I just ordered mine from Roger over at nycmaximas...Its coming in tomorrow and i should have it installed sometime tomorrow....I'll probably write a review and post some pics up

 

I was going to say that too Cutter but you beat me to it Roger is selling them for $749 shipped I think..

I have to see one of these things close up though...

 

$769 i think
