any local shop will have to bypass it to make it work, i had a avic d3 in my acura and my honda had bose system it sounded good...


3.) does anyone have pictures of one installed? I want it to seem as factory as possible.
i have some from my acura and my honda ill post some up


4.) along with #3 above, how tough would it be to install a factory nav in my non-nav car?
not that hard all you need is a radio dash kit and after market radio harrens
and you will need to know how to do the bypass
one to bypass for the facotry sub
one to bypass to watch movies....

you can read more at
avic411.com


what i think about it ? some ppl like the avic d3 cause a lot of ppl have ipods now this and that i mean if you have a ipod thats good cause then u can keep the map disk in the dvd rom drive at all times thats the only reason why i dont like the avic d3 it has one slot, and i dont have a ipod i use mp3 disk
and every time i had to go some where i had to load up the addrest and put in my cd back in but other then that its a good radio iam sure it will be better if you have a ipod





d's are only photos i can find right now sorry

I was unable to use the original 6-CD changer so I sold it. I was unable to use the original amp so we tapped right into the speakers and are using the the d3's built in amped output. However I will be getting an amp as the speakers suck without having an amp or having the sub working.

Personally I really like this unit. The next step for me is to get the bluetooth setup for the phone.
