Haha I'm at circuit city right now getting mine installed. My buddy is bypassing the ebrake restriction as well. I used to work here so I help myself to everything lol Pics soon

 

circuit city wouldn'nt even install a headunit into my car because of bypassing the amps and when I told them all they needed was the correct harness for the headunit and no bypassing was needed they gave me a ton of lip and said they still won't touch it. So I got a refund and 3 days later there is still no money from the refund in my account. All I can say is that im extrmely pissed with circuit city right now.

 

They did an amp bypass on my sister's car yesterday. It all depends on the guys in the dept

 

yeah bestbuy is the same..depends on the guy..how much did u pay for ur avic d3 becasue thats my next mod

 

It was 999.99 retail, had a manager I know give me last week's sale price of 899.99. With labor, parts, and the ipod hook-up, tax, was about 1100 I believe. If you want the bypass make sure you ask them about it, have the directions in-hand (or be able to bring it up on their computers) and offer to sign off on it

Edit: However, I should note: I gotta work on the full system know though, the bass isn't the same. Seems to route to the rear speakers, the stock amp might not even be functioning, oh well. You definitely have to mess with the settings to get a good sound, but I'm sure it's gonna sound freakin amazing once I work with everything. One cool option is you can upload pics for the background/start up screen. Definitely usin the stang!

 

Post some pics when it's in. My D3 should be here Thurday, gonna install it myself.

 

Install is prettyeasy, even the nav attenna was simple. The bypass was simple, but my install guy even did it a different way than most do just to avoid any problems. Make sure you have all the proper harnesses and whatnot, and the i-pod cable if you'll be using it

 

I installed my pioneer nav system in my old truck, it's a piece of cake. The hardest part is deciding where to mount the nav brain unit (i think thats what it's called). I put mine under my seat. Entire install took about an hour and a half. How do you like the D3? I am either going to either get one of those or get an Avic-N3.

 

I'm loving it. I have a picture of my car as the background (redundant, I know, but I can't get enough!). The picture quality is amazing. The interface is pure genius and the nav is very smooth. I'm absolutely crazy about the ipod interface. I need to get some sirius now! It looks very clean (like it belongs in the car). While I drive, I have it display my speed, acceleration rate, and voltage to the head unit. You can also have it display slope, direction, angle, etc. I thought it was a neat option
