It seems that when my iPhone (1st version) is in the windshield suction cup holder, it is interfering with the GPS signal. If I keep my iphone in my pocket or on the seat, the GPS works fine. It only took me 8 months to realize this. Oh well. Sorry Pioneer.

I have a fix. Take the radio out and put the factory radio back in.

Same thing happened to me today for the first time. Why? Because it is a piece of crap.

Big question is: Why can't Pioneer test this stuff themselves? It doesn't take log to see that the unit is not working properly. It is not like "well on certain instances, the unit takes 2 minutes to boot up" Everything that you guys talk about is very obvious, almost in your face bugs. Yet they chose to release it anyway and have the nerve to keep you guys hanging this long for some sort of fix that doesn't really fix most of the problems. If I had bought this unit, I would call Pioneer and demand a refund and then take my business elsewhere. Sorry guys. I feel your pain. Think of all

Would you seriously pay for that?

I already upgraded to a TomTom 730 and love it.

it is a 2005 Hyundai Elantra. Where can I find the vss wire?

Do you guys have the problem that if you are on a highway with a route plotted and the nav tells you to get off an exit, but you keep going, the nav thinks you got off the exit and does not realize that you did not get off the exit if the service road runs parallel?

problem is that when it says I am in NY, I am actually in Long Island on the highway with a wide open view to the sky. The antenna is on the dash in a small square magnetic plate that I assume came in the box. When I brought it back to BestBuy, they made me return it to Pioneer who just sent it back to me with all data erased. It actually did work fine for a few months after that but it is starting again. How can I tell if the VSS cable is connected without ripping it out!

sorry guys. I was a bit cranky last night. I did not do the install. I had BestBuy take care of that. I am not sure if they hooked up the vss cable. When I look in 3d calabration, it says simple hybrid and speed pulse is always on zero. Left and right turns are full but distance is 3/4 full with over 4,000 miles since I got it back from Pioneer. When the car drifts off the map, there is no signal. The antenna is on the dashboard by the windshield. It seems like some days it is fine but some days it will go from all satelites to no signal in a seconds time. Then it will come back again. When

For $1000, you would think the damn thing would navigate from point A to point B without the stupid icon drifting off the route I am driving and into the ocean. Otherwise, it drifts off and then occasionally puts me in the middle of Manhattan and freezes there (while I am in Long Island, Staten Island, Brooklyn, or Queens). On a good day, if I go to settings - modify current location, and just move it a bit, it will find me again for 5 minutes or so. I had returned this thing to Pioneer for this issue 5 months ago and all they did was press the reset button and send it back to me. I wish

My iPod survived last summer and this winter in the glove box full time and always attached to the pioneer cable. No issues.

Vicinity search will do just that, although it would be nice to be able to search based on current location or better yet, along current route..

I agree that the D-3 does suffer from wacky routes and the best word I can use to describe it is 'stubborn'. It wants you to go the way it wants you to go. It will persistently try to make you go 'it's way' for miles even if you refuse to. I have learned to deal with it, but I must say, as far as the best GPS I ever had, it was TomTom by far. But truth be told, that one you have an in-dash unit, there is no going back to a suction cup on the windshield. Maybe someday Pioneer will bless us with an awesome firmware update, but I am not holding my breath.
