avic d3 Question (dvd/gps) topic
So I love the looks of the avic d3, anybody already have it and want to give me some insight? problems? easy install? Do it yourself? Also are there any other gps/dvd players (ideal to fit the 4inch space in the mustang) that anybody wants to brag about? i'm open for some other product ideas, although avic d3 is on the top of my list.
what are the shaker 500's going for if i wanted to sell mine? ebay?

Never had a days problem with either the Avic-Z1 (installed in the beast)
The wife started with a D1 in her Focus, upgraded to a D2 then a D3 NONE of the have caused a days problem
Love em especially with the navtraffic enabled

i've been reading reviews of the d3, and the only bad thing that i saw about it was that one guy was pissed because the aux was primarily for the ipod. which is something that i don't have a problem with since i have a nano. i'm thinking about getting one myself. but i would like to see how the set up looks in somebody's ride.

bascially I mean that why would you need to pay a grand more for30 gig in the z1/2 and have to deal with loading in cds, when instead you could just connect an ipod to it for 300 bux and have 80 gigs of music/video

and NO, the D3 doesn't use an AUX as iPod input, it has it's own cable that plugs directly into the D3 which is probably why the interface is much better than the Z1 that uses IPBUS for communication into a cdib100ii
