GnatGoSplat Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 Pioneer emailed these links to me today. The AVIC-D3 is badass. http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/pg/top/cat/article/0,,2076_310069607_411376305,00.html Looks like I'll be upgrading the DEH-P6800MP in the convertible to a DEH-P6900UB! http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/pg/top/cat/article/0,,2076_310069607_411376301,00.html Quote
digitaloutsider Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 Wow. I'm definitely going to end up with the AVIC-D3. Quote
GP1138 Posted February 23, 2007 Report Posted February 23, 2007 I'M SO PISSED THEY NOW HAVE A USB iPOD INTERFACE!!!! I should have waited.... 3 months before I bought a new HU!!!! UGH... they're cool, but I always buy too early! Where are the radio preset buttons on that 6900UB? Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Posted February 23, 2007 Where are the radio preset buttons on that 6900UB? I don't think it has any. My 6800 doesn't have any. I forget how you go through them, but it has something to do with pressing a button then turning the knob. Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted February 23, 2007 Report Posted February 23, 2007 I can dig that.. I might wind up with that also.. Especially if I get a good discount on it at work! Quote
Andrew Posted February 23, 2007 Report Posted February 23, 2007 Wow. I'm definitely going to end up with the AVIC-D3. I love it too, but isnt it double DIN? how would we stuff it in our 1.5 DIN openings? Quote
MonteCarloDude Posted February 23, 2007 Report Posted February 23, 2007 i love pioneer. i got a HU (deh-2600). and a home Receiver (vsx-516) pioneer FTW. Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted February 23, 2007 Author Report Posted February 23, 2007 I love it too, but isnt it double DIN? how would we stuff it in our 1.5 DIN openings? Regals are double-DIN, as are Intrigues. As for stuffing in a double DIN in a 1.5-DIN opening, you can always cut & fabricate! Quote

Euro Posted February 23, 2007 Report Posted February 23, 2007 sweet! too bad i wont buy them cause they'll be expensive as shit Quote
slick Posted February 23, 2007 Report Posted February 23, 2007 I just installed a AVIC-D2 at work the other day. The D3 doesn't appear to be much more than the D2, excepted updated, and few small features. IF I got a Pioneer DD Nav. system, I would HAVE to get this: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/v3/pg/product/details/0,,2076_310069685_93768381_tab=B,00.html?compName=PNA_V3_ProductDetailsComponent I guess I care too much about tuning my music and making it sound the way I want.

GnatGoSplat Posted February 24, 2007 Author Report Posted February 24, 2007 D2 is what I have in my truck. The D3 has a smaller screen, but it adds these features: - High speed iPod interface (D2 iPod control is so bad, it's completely worthless). - Plays DVD video, DiVX, etc. D2 cannot play video at all. - Rotary volume control. D2 has up/down buttons. - Illumination can be changed to match the vehicle. D2 is green with 2 purplish blue buttons. - Supports optional bluetooth module for hands-free cellphone control. D2 can't. For me, iPod control is the most significant improvement. I haven't used CD's for years. That DEQ looks pretty cool, although at my age I'm not that particular anymore. 10yrs ago the only HU's I would buy were the high-end ones that only had high-volt preouts and no built-in amps, but anymore the built-in amps are good enough for me.

I totally forgot that the D2 doesn't play DVD's, that it only has video input. Yeah, the D3 is a big improvement. Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 OOooh! Chris! How do I add that to my car?! I have WANTED to do a surround sound type install for years! Quote
slick Posted February 24, 2007 Report Posted February 24, 2007 OOooh! Chris! How do I add that to my car?! I have WANTED to do a surround sound type install for years! I wasn't really interested in the surround sound as much as the fact of the high voltage output and the much higher bit d/a convertor. BTW, they make amps that are 5.1, for vehicles. They can be pricey though. Quote
Garrett Powered Posted March 1, 2007 Report Posted March 1, 2007 twice as much as my deck...hmmm. not gonna buy into that just so I can cut up my dash. no removable face either. JVC wins. Quote
buckethead Posted March 13, 2007 Report Posted March 13, 2007 wow... I was gonna go with an Alpine because of their high-speed ipod interface... but theirs doesn't work with video, so I think i'm back to pioneer. That D3 will be in my car. Quote
Garrett Powered Posted March 15, 2007 Report Posted March 15, 2007 I got a Monstercable video Ipod interface cable. doesnt use the headphone jacks, it plugs into the bottom for video and sound quality of a DVD changer almost. all gold connections and braided cable. they cost 50 bucks though. Quote
