anyone have this system in their tc? what are your thoughts about it?

is it worth getting?

 

i have the d3 which this one replaced, ive always been happy with pioneer cant complain i might actually jump on this

 

I installed this into my friends infinity G35, the bypass was the hardest part and that was easy, the head unit is amazing especially if you have an IPhone this thing works amazing with it, the Pandora link is sick and as soon as the new firmware comes out. Im going to buy this unit its very user friendly and the navigation was spot on if you install the GPS antenna in the right spot. The ipod features is what i used the most and it was fast to search and play a song. Only thing that got me was the boot up time, but the firmware will fixed that.

 

I have the F900bt which was actually the replacement for the D3 and was the first version of the 920. Pioneer does a good job of updating the units with firmware updates.

 

Two people sent me a message for this unit and how to bypass it so here are the instructions for everyone.

You just cut the mute wire out of the harness and move it exactly one pin over, then ground it and the parking brake sensor wire to the ground wire and ground wire to a ground

 

I wish I still had my headunit. Everyone likes to steal things around here, even the damn center caps!

 

Not trying to thread jack - but are there any major differences between the D3 and the X920BT or X910BT? I am also in the market for a nav head unit and am definately going Pioneer as I have heard nothing but great things. Just wondering if its worth spending an extra $300 for a newer X920BT model as opposed to an older D3. Vpfosho hopefully this info can help you too!

 

The X920BT gets a new UI (touch scrolling), Pandora via iPhone, Ecodrive, and Musicsphere.

920bt has the advantage of built in Navigation and Ipod search and full controls using your voice, no switching disc and general awesomness from the 920bt headunit.

 

Anyone know if the pandora link would work with a blackberry? Until Apple makes a phone for Verizon.... not too much of a choice for me :p

 

where should i put the gps antenna?

 

If you're looking for a stealth install... I think most people here, including myself, have put their GPS antenna above the air duct behind the waterfall. There's also a small area on the right side of where the headunit sits that you can mount on, it works but you might not get the best signal.

 

if you are going to get a d3 lol u might want to take a look at the x710bt its got everything the 910t does minus the dvd player navi blutooth ipod vr and its a lot cheaper i got mine for 480 brand new

 

so me and my friend just install the system in my car. then there was a metal piece that has to do with the cover that popped out. so now when i push the bottom to open the cover it does not open. i have to push it multiple times and hit the top inorder for the cover to open. anyone know where this little metal piece goes? it is abou 1.5 inch long. bronze color

 

What?

 

its the spring mechanism but off the top of my head im not sure exactly where it goes. but look around the pivot point

its the 19th picture. the small bronze metal. i lost it
you guys think if i go to toyota they will sell it? lol

 

doubtful

 

Just installed this unit in my tC today. It looks great, and works fantastic. Boots up in 15 seconds, Navi is built in, so no DVD. Installation was a piece of cake, too. Highly recommend it!

 

I went with the Avic 3200BT... which has pretty much the same interface as the 920 minus the GPS and I love it. Ipod navigation is excellent, along with the bluetooth.
