A great navigation system should be simple to use, provide intelligent routing with rich data, and feature entertainment options that make driving more enjoyable and convenient. The Pioneer AVIC-D3 in-dash navigation system comes with two DVD-ROMs containing a massive Tele Atlas database, enabling the unit to provide a gigantic network of turn-by-turn routable roads. You get fast processor calculations of multiple routes and directions to destinations via the graphic map interface and voice guidance within seconds. Have access to 12 million Points Of Interest (POI) throughout the United States and Canada for the nearest gas station, restaurant or ATM. The double-DIN size will fit in most standard vehicles providing a perfect placement in your the dashboard. The integration gets even better with the multi-color illumination to match the interface to the colors of your dashboard. Never need to touch your cell phone again with the optional CD-BTB200 Bluetooth adapter used with a compatible Bluetooth-enabled phone. Make and receive phone calls while listening through your in-car speakers. With subscription and optional XM NavTraffic service, you will be one step ahead of traffic jams and alternate routes will be provided. 2 DVD-ROM CNDV-70M Map Data US, Canada, Alaska, Hawaii Coverage Area 3D Hybrid Sensor (Gyro & G-Force) GPS Receiver & 8-Channel Antenna Included Emergency Mode Display 1-Year Roadside Assistance Included Map, Guide, Route, Driver's & Rear View Display Mode 5 Vehicle Dynamics Skins - Original, Carbon, Hologram, Sharp Metal and Classic Playback - MP3 Playback with ID3 Tag, WMA (Windows Media Audio), iTunes AAC and DivX Video on DVD/DVD-R/-RW, CD/CD-R/-RW 24-Station/6-Button (18FM/6FM) Presets Built-in Speaker Power - MOS-FET 50W x 4 3-Band Parametric EEQ Equalizer BSM (Best Stations Memory) XM Radio Ready with Enhanced Graphical GEX-P10XMT or GEX-P920XM optional accessory

Summary: Great unit, but at $99,999, a tad pricey
Comment: A true home run of a product. But it is really worth $99,999? I think not. Would put this kind of money into a new 911 and pocket the savings!

Customer Rating:
Summary: Home run for Pioneer
Comment: Inexpensive, easy to use, great features. Far superior to my wife's OEM Lexus in-dash Nav. The iPod adapter is a must.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good enough for the price
Comment: Why I like it:
1. Very Inexpensive.
2. Bluetooth Integration. ND-BT200, works great with this set. I was even able to upload my phone book to the unit, so I don't have to go to my phone every time.
3. Rear-View Camera integration. I got the camera custom for GM SUVs. Works great, very crisp and clear view. It even has its own gain at night so things don't appear dark, even in complete darkness, though I believe that comes from the camera itself, not the D3.
4. I was able to add a 12-Disc CD-Changer for about $150, so I don't need to remove the Nav DVD from the head-unit each time.
5. Using an adapter for my 2005 Denali I was able to keep my steering wheel controls for volume, Source Select, etc.....I lost OnStar though I never used it.
6. To use a few more features, I added a steering wheel remote control CD-SR1 (recommended for AVIC-Z1/Z2), but I added it anyway. Lo and Behold, it works like a charm. Bought this online for $15 shipped.
Why I don't like it (sometimes):
1. It tells me I have reached my destination about 100~200 feet before I reach it, always, every time, compared to the portable el-cheapo models that are off only by 5 feet or less.
2. It doesn't always take the fastest or the shortest route. If I ask it to give me more than one options, the optimal choice is in the list, but its not D3's first choice. So, I have to select it myself. Of course, these are the destinations I used for testing the unit, when I already know how to get there just to see what route it takes me. :( No use, it doesn't take the most optimal route. It will get you there though, won't get lost.
3. When you first start the engine and start moving, the current location is off for about the first minute, and then it comes to corrects itself.
Overall, the unit is good enough for its price, the Z1 and Z2 are about $800 more. I was able to get the complete system installed Bluetooth, CD-Changer, steering wheel adapter, rear-vew camera and of course the D3 for about $1800. Not bad for an in dash Nav system.

Summary: Excellent with a few 'minor' gripes
Comment: Having used portable GPSs for years I was inclined to get a built in one but they were so expensive. Not anymore. I picked this AVIC-D3 up at Best Buy for $699 with INCLUDED bluetooth adaptor (typically cost $100 and up). The unit looks great in my '07 CR-V. Looks factory installed. The sound is great once you figure out how to use the equalizer. At first the bass was so vibrating that it sounded awful but once I figured out how to use it its great.
I bought the ipod adaptor ($30) and that is the best adaptor you can buy. I use my ipod with thousands of songs so I'll never need to put in a CD anymore. It lets me use the playlists, Artists, song, etc just like on the ipod. The drawback of this system is that it doesn't have a search feature so if you want to find say, "Madonna" there is a LOT of scrolling to find it. THey should have had letters to find something, like press "M" for all beginning with M. But if you organize your ipod by Genre, the search is much easier. You have to do that on itunes but well worth the time.
The Radio is wonderful, sounds good and picks up signals my other factory stereo did not.
The bluetooth works good. Although it syncs everytime I get into my car, it will not allow it to get my phonebook off of it so I have to dial from my phone but then put it down as I talk into the mic and the sound comes out of the speakers. Works very well and worth having since starting this summer in California, you must have a hands free unit otherwise risk getting a ticket.
Ok, now for Navigation. The screen is wonderful. The maps look good and the unit is very accuate "most of the time". The one thing this does not have is Text-To-Speech like my other portables have. But I have gotten used to it now as the screen is easy to see and follow and the voice announcements without the TTS works very good. I don't think this unit uses SIRF III gps receiver as it seems a bit slower picking it up once I get out of the garage but still works.
The DVD player works great. You must take out the NAV DVD in order to watch a DVD but the unit does have a memory to go by for areas you recently went to without the disc. I put in "I AM LEGEND" and the sound is incredible. Sounds like you are in a theater with surround.
A HONDA CRV with Nav costs close to $29,000. My basic CRV was only 20,500. With this unit and installation it was about $1100 including tax. Well worth it compared to STOCK GPS NAV systems. Now I feel like I'm driving a more expensive luxury vehicle and am very happy with my purchase.
