Booo, that really sucks! But thanks for the info. Weird that they would even mention it in the manual if it doesnt even work.

Just got my D3 installed this weekend on my F150. Looks great. One thing I am noticing is that I dont get any text from the radio stations displayed. I remember with my Kenwood DDX7015 it would show text, and I am listening to the same stations. I looked in the manual, and the pics show that the screen says "No Text".

I have the tuner already, just need the translation cable which is about $50. The Pioneer tuner is $100. Anyone else have first hand experience?

I am switching from a Kenwood DDX-7015 to the AVIC-D3. With my Kenwood I used the Terk XM tuner (XMD1000) with a Kenwood adaptor. My question is if I used the Terk XM tuner and get the Terk Pioneer adaptor (XMDPIO110), will I still have all of the same functionality as if I were to just have the Pioneer XM Tuner (GEX-P920XM)? I have read that with some Pioneer models not all functionality is supported (like not being able to store presets). The Terk is definitely a better option in terms of pricing (and I already have the antenna installed and mounted in my truck), but I want to m
