Pioneer Avic-D3

Navigation TeleAtlas maps on the Avic-D3 are bright and crisply rendered, with different classes of road shown in different colors. With the optional GEX-P10XMT traffic tuner and a monthly subscription to XM NavTraffic, drivers get real-time...

The Pioneer Avic-D3 combines a user-friendly navigation programming interface with real-time traffic capability and a range of media options, including a standard iPod connector.

The system's single disc slot means that users will constantly have to switch between navigation discs and media sources to make the most of its many features.

The impressively equipped Pioneer Avic-D3 offers an array of advanced navigation and media playback functions, but the system's poor hardware design limits its usability.

Well Worth It!

Wire the unit so you can change the navigation while driving and able to watch the ipod video & dvd while driving. The blue tooth and sat radio options seem pretty cool but need to buy extra modules. Look at pioneers website for a brief video for this...

Great Product! Well worth the money and does all that a $2000 stock navigation could do and more (minus voice activation). Installed easy in my 2001 Accord. Many options for map display. Has 'vehicle dynamics' that lets you see g force, MPH, ect which...

DVD Map Disk needs to be in the drive to plot the navigation. I use my ipod all the time so this is not an issue. Would only be an issue if you wanted to listen to CDs more. If you have a lot of songs on your ipod, it is hard/slow to scroll by song,...

Pioneer AVIC-D3X 6.1" GPS Navigation Bundle CD-BTB200 Bluetooth Adapter

When the navigation system begins running for the first time, the 3D Hybrid Sensor automatically begins initial learning. Positioning is performed solely by GPS satellites until the 3D Hybrid Sensor initial learning is complete, so the location of your...

Tough to Use - Lots of Features!

Overall, this is a great unit and it has TONS of neat features. It fits in my new 2008 Expedition like a glove and looks better than the OEM. The only down side is that I bought it for my wife and she is NOT a technology geek. There has has been a...

Lots of features, looks great! Lots of color / display combos. Sound is fantastic

Difficult to learn for a novice. Some NAV feautes will not work unless you have the map CD in the unit. IPOD features will not work without the OEM interface

Worthless for Navigation

The navigation on this unit is horrible. Its not that it doesn't do it the most efficient way, but it just doesn't make ANY SENSE at all. It will have you drive right past the road you should turn on, then make a u-turn a few miles away, and come right...

It's a great stereo. Sound quality is excellent, iPod interface is excellent

It's completely useless if you really need a navigation system. You will be taking 40-50% longer routes if you follow this thing

Terrible Navigation

The navigation on this unit is absolutely horrible. Its not that it doesn't do it the most efficient way, but it just doesn't make ANY SENSE at all. It will have you drive right past the road you should turn on, then make a u-turn a few miles away, and...

Sounds great. My stock Monsoon system sounded good already, but now it sounds terrific with this radio. I love the "Dynamic Theater" setting

The navigation is beyond terrible. Words just can't even describe how bad it is, you really need to experience it first hand (without buying it of course)
