  1. I have an Avic D3 in my Expedition and it has worked flawlessly since I installed it in 2007. Last year I bought a Mustang with a base stereo and now I am wanting to upgrade to something with navi and bluetooth. I looked around and found some Sony units that run Tom Tom software which is what I use for a portable unit. My only concern is that my D3 works so well I think I owe it to myself to go with another Avic. I am looking for people who have made the jump from the D3 to something else and if they are happy with the new unit.
  2. What I was trying to get at was, can a thief somehow disable my alarm or will they just set it off and work real fast. If it happens at home I would either hear the alarm or the 2 way remote beeping and I would run out there. If they can somehow disable the alarm then I need to figure something else out.
  3. For the people who got their AVIC stolen, what type if any alarm did you have? I used always put a plastic bag over the unit when it was parked. It looked like a makeshift garbage bag so I figured it kept prying eyes away. Lately though I have gotten complacent. I have a nice Viper 2 way alarm, is that enough?
  4. I wish the radio station preset buttons where larger. How hard could it be to have big squares with the station inside. Its hard to roam the presets since they are so thin and close together.
  5. Maybe if you go in with the mute wire moved already and had a ring connector on they would turn their back while you grounded it. Sort of like when you buy booze at the grocery store and they have to call someone over who is over 21. Perhaps if you physically grounded it they would be ok with it.
  6. This thread motivated me to make a background for my soon to be installed D3. I'm not 100% sure on the red text though. [img]http://home.comcast.net/~acrbill/d3.jpg[/img]
  7. WOW! That is really odd. I ordered mine Sunday from Circuit City online for $799 with free installation. Saturday it was $920. I sure am glad I acted when I did.
  8. Well its a moot point now since Circuit City has it for $799 with free install and no interest till 2009.
  9. How important would you way having a warranty is? There is a local guy selling D3's for a real good price but I assume I would have no warranty since he is probably not an actual dealer. Would it be worth the $200 difference (when you factor the higher price plus tax in) ?
