Coming to the states in the Spring:

http://www.pioneer.fr/eur/flash/prod...f900.html.html

I'm interested...

 

Xbean reread it. US is not listed on the listed

http://www.pioneer.fr/eur/content/su...t/dealers.html

after looking around June 08 is the availibility date for this one

yup...june

 

hhhmmmm...well I have'nt seen anything on the Pioneer U.S. site. The european Pioneer site does'nt show us in the U.S. like inboxin said but engadget.com does??? Do they know something Pioneer does'nt??? Not flaming or being negative xbean,...just wondering.

 

It's not an indash like the d3 either.... from the pictures on engadget.com you can see that its attached to the dash panel.

 

theres going to be 3 units comin out..

The F500BT is the dash unit that competes with companies like Garmin and TomTom

The F700BT and F900BT are double-din units that are pretty much the same thing other than the F700 has a CD player and the F900 adds DVD functionality.

The vid on the euro Pioneer site shows all 3 units.

here guys go here and look. it looks like it has sweet features.

 

thx for the us update.

but no zune love.....

btw thuis look like the sync stuff in fords doesnt it?

 

man the screen is so small compare to the previous models

 

like ive said in another post!
i have to wonder why the 700 and the 900 models are so small for being double dins.
i can understand the 500 for being a stand alone model...but for the double din installed units, youd expect to see a larger screen, would you not?

could the screens be better quality maybe? 1080? you can take note in the video that the guy states the graphics are superior to many models, and youd expect them to haul into overdrive when theyre pushing this new 3d nav system...but the size of the screen seems disappointing doesnt it?

 

yep i agree

 

On Avic411.com, I asked about this new unit and one of the things I love is that it will actually fit the stock unit area. No ugly plastic side pieces to fill in the gaps. It's minor and aesthetic but is one of the few complaints I had about the D3.

Upgraded D3 that fits like a glove? I'm in

 

you'll still need the metra dash kit *side plastic brackets* to fill in that gap on ANY double din aftermarket radio i'm sure
