Here are a few pics of the AVIC-D3. It was pretty easy to install. If you were wondering, the radio door will not close without modification. Overall, I give this a 7 of 10 because it's missing a few good features such as:
-harddrive navi
-2-disc drive
-bigger screen
-text to speech (they pronounce the street names)
-voice recognition

I can of course opt for the Z1 or Z2, but it's double the price. You get what you pay for.

I can take more pics for anyone who wants specific screenshots.

Enjoy.

Where did you get it and how much?

 

I got it at Pacific Stereo, a local stereo shop for $1000.

 

So you installed it yourself? how easy was it? I thought it would be hard b/c you have connect speed sensor or something to use navigation. Is the manual that comes with it good enough?

 

please do tell how easy/hard it is to install and how long it took you to finish. plus can you take pics with the door closed. i know you said it won't close. but can you show us how narrow/wide the margin is. thanx

 

wow, very nice. yeah screen is pretty small.

 

couple questions. how long does it take to read the dvd in order to get directions? will any of the colors that can be modified match the scion amber color? do you have ipod hookup pics, please post. THANKS!

 

sorry one more question, how is the viewing angle at its fixed position (seeing as how it doesnt adjust) for driver and passengers etc. thanks!

 

i didnt know this came out already

 

you need a dish kit!
looks great though, have fun with it

 

It's pretty easy if you've installed regular headunits before. Only additional connections are the GPS receiver and the speed sensor. Overall, it took me about 45min to do the whole installation...from uninstalling my old headunit, rewiring the D3, and finding a place for the GPS. I found out how to connect the speed sensor here. The manual is good enough.

This is where I put my GPS receiver. It's probably not the best place, but it works.

 

It hits the volume ****.

 

Not long at all. I think it's same as a hd-based navi ( compared to Streetdeck, carputer). There really isn't a color that'll match the amber, but you can upload your own backgrounds to try and match it. No, I don't have ipod hookup (yet).

Yellow is the closest (it looks better in person)



It's viewable at every angle.

 

cool thanks!

 

are you going to sink it in to get the radio door to close?

 

Line up the holes for the screws and drill a hole of similar size approx 1/4" back, and then the door will close.

 

thanx for the pics -- picking out a HU just keep getting harder

 

nice!

 

looks good but with the **** hitting and the small screen i'm happy with my d2

 

looks good, but I did think the screen would be a bit bigger.

And why do they always insist on putting every single logo of every feature? I hate that. It's like a riced out Honda.
