    AVIC shootout D3 v. F900 v. F700

    thanks for that.... does the F900 have the same warranty? It seemed the F90 and the F900 are exactly the same with the 90 having the Premier badge. Does the F700 have a 2 year in that case?

    AVIC shootout D3 v. F900 v. F700

    What is wrong with refurbs? I'm good with waiting a few weeks, until the new stock hits all the stores, and I am leaning toward the F90/900. I had heard some bad reviews on the F series, but it doesn't seem the bulk of these reviews are positive for many of these units.

    AVIC shootout D3 v. F900 v. F700

    I'm a little hesitant to go with the D3 as it came out nearly 3 years ago. I can't imagine skipping a generation or two to back to 2006 for a unit, but I've heard the D3 is great.

    AVIC shootout D3 v. F900 v. F700

    How well does that work? I've got plenty of DVD Rips so converting several to put on my ipod is no big deal. Do they all need to be Divx? As much as I can I'd like to avoid using DVD media in the car, but having the ability to use one would be nice. If I can save 100 bucks or so, then I can...

    AVIC shootout D3 v. F900 v. F700

    I want a Double DIN NAV HU that can play video as well... I'm weighing the three of these units and while the D3 has had good reviews, it seems like it is getting old in the tooth. The F series units seem newer, but I can't discern noticeable differences between the two. The issue of needing...

    Double DIN touchscreen NAV and iPod search

    Bump What I want to know is this... how well do iPods work with the Pioneer AVICs?

    Double DIN touchscreen NAV and iPod search

    Doing research on which NAV unit to get. I'd love to have something that can play DVDs with minimal hassle, but the biggest use will be playing the iPod. One issue I have had with my old Pioneer HU is that searching for Songs or Artists takes forever because the HU doesn't jump to individual...

    I bought the Pioneer-DEH- 5900IB but need ipod adapter

    what is the difference between the Ipod cable and the USB type link thing for the 690?

    6x9s or 6.5s?

    any thoughts on this uBS link or whatever it is that allows any USB drive to hook up to the 690's and control those drives as well? I have an ipod and I don't foresee using a drive, so other than that it seems the 590 makes a lot more sense.

    6x9s or 6.5s?

    yeah... don't ask.

    6x9s or 6.5s?

    Thanks... I did some research and it seems the new Pioneer Premiers have the Ipod cable included which is a nice bonus though I'm not sold on the blue in my 4Runner's yellow/orange lit dash. It would seem the Eclipse would make the most sense in this case, but perhaps the 5000 would be overkill...

    6x9s or 6.5s?

    I don't want to hijack the meaning of this forum, but since I have a captive audience... My feeling was that Eclipse deck would have been better served with external amps, but I though the 14w RMS was like a truer sense of actual power than what you get from even the most robust HU. But if...

    6x9s or 6.5s?

    Those look great... it appears they can hit the low frequencies, which was a concern of mine. But the 90dbs of sensitivity isn't a concern I take it? I'm looking at one of the new Alpines 9883/5, but I saw the deal on the Eclipse CD-5000. I know this is out of place, but would either of...

    6x9s or 6.5s?

    So if you had to choose for good bass and no hopes of a sub... 6x9s or 6.5 components?
