CatchingCold

Hey all. Im planning on getting the D3 soon. I have 99 GMC Envoy with Bose. Ive read around the forum and did a search but couldnt really find the exact answers I was looking for. What exactly are my problems and solutions in going from the factory Bose system to the D3? Thanks, and sorry if this has been answered a lot before.

Would I be able to hook up both an additional dvd player (Does Pioneer make one?) as well as the Pioneer 12 cd changer to the D3? That way I can still play DVD's and have the nav running at the same time.

I have a 99 GMC Envoy and it only has a 1.5 din. I have pretty much set my mind on the D2 and now it appears that I will not even be able to install it. Ive looked for a dash kit with no avail. If anyone knows or has any suggestions, please share. Ive read on these forums somewhere where people have fit them in Envoys. I want to be a fellow AVIC owner!

Thank you for your help! Getting the D3 was an option I hadn't considered all that much but now that you mention it, it would be pretty smart to just hold out. Think they are able to be bypassed? Anyone else here getting one when they come out? Thanks again for the help!

I dont believe I will be using the video feature of the iPod with the AVIC so right now, from what you all tell me, the iPod adapter seems to be the best choice. That, or the iPod2Car. As I said in my first post, does anyone have this where they can give me some details about it and opinions?Also, if anyone has any time that they can read my other questions in the first post (I know its long, I'm sorry ) it would be greatly appreciated! The iPod was a concern, but not the greatest one on my list. Thank you for your responses so far!

Sorry for my long post. It was 4 in the morning and I had a lot of thoughts in my mind, haha. Any help you could give me would be great. Thanks!

Hello fellow enthusiasts. I am new to this forum, having just discovered it tonight and I am very glad I did. I have been reading for hours now and have learned a lot, but I still feel I need to ask a for a few opinions before diving into the D2. Ive been looking into the N1/N2/N3 for a few years now, but now I'm very serious about getting one soon and with further research, I have discovered I may like the D2 better.

First off, I have a 99 GMC Envoy. I am about 99 percent sure the D2 will fit, but does anyone out there know of a site where I can double check? Of course, Crutchfield has not yet researched this part of my car yet and cant tell me. Bestbuy.com says it wont fit though, and I know of no other websites to check.

Next, I'm curious about what is going on as far as a price for this unit goes. Researching throughout this forum, I have seen prices as low as $600. The best I am able to find for some reason is $697 for a refurb. I saw mention of a site called 6ave and how they sell them at a fairly good price of $719 brand new, yet I just went on 6ave and it is telling me $1200. How could the price go up like that? I know this is the same old question you get all the time, but where is the best deal nowadays? I'm checking Ebay constantly but I'm seeing nothing worthy on there either.

Now onto video. I would love to have a DVD player installed. I wish there was a single disc that was compatible with the touch screen, but I know that besides the SDV-P7, I'm out of luck. My current stock stereo has a separate 6 disc changer under the actual headunit, which I would like to occupy with a DVD player. Any suggestions from anyone on a cheap in-dash DVD player to fill that spot? Maybe one that plays both PAL and NTSC?

Ok, next question. Is the navigation REALLY as horrible as some of the board members here claim? My parents had a stock navigation unit in their 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. I'm not sure if it used TeleAtlas or NavTeq, but even it was good enough to get me around. From what I understand, the map update coming in March is going to be a huge step up though, so I'm not THAT worried, but for the next three months I'd like something that will get me from A to B decently, ya know?

Lastly, I'm considering buying a huge iPod to connect to this and go "CD free", but Ive learned there is no perfect way to set up an iPod. The best thing Ive seen on here is to get iPod2Car. Can someone divulge a little further into this product for me, or give me a better suggestion for iPod compatibility.

Thank you for taking the time to read my questions and ANY help would be appreciated! I know all of these questions have been answered numerous times and I am sorry, but sometimes I need to ask these things in my own words to finally understand the answers. I'm starting to get a headache from all this criss-cross info I'm reading and I haven't even dipped into how to install this damn thing yet! And I have NO experience! That will come later though. Thanks again!
