MisFit Posted February 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 I am new to this forum. Bought a D3 yesterday at Audio Express, $863 installed with ipod adapter after $200 rebate thats kinda high. you should have been around that price before rebate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheHolyCobra Posted February 20, 2008 Report Share Posted February 20, 2008 So does it matter if a vendor price matches another vendor? Will the rebate still apply? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FiveLiters Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 I used the link posted earlier in this thread to go directly to the Pioneer site,and this was the link to their "authorized internet/online stores": http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/ ... e+Internet The other link I found was regarding those that -weren't-,or at least some form of clarification regarding online purchases and the rebate: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/ ... et+Dealers So,my guess is,if it isn't on their list of authorized stores,and it is bought off the net,there is a good chance it won't be eligible for the rebate. That being said,there is also a good chance you can buy it on the internet for less than you would pay for retail minus the rebate. Shop around! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JLeach12 Posted March 2, 2008 Report Share Posted March 2, 2008 tweeter does the rebate and we also offer the d3x package and z2x package Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest astrobill Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Big picture: Pioneer claims the D3 is the biggest-selling navigation system (at least form online data referred to on the rebate page). If that's true, why are they offering a rebate??? My theory: There are so many bugs and problems with the D3, they're getting rid of them to make room for newer models. Given the total lack of SORELY-NEEDED software updates and WAY OVERDUE map updates for the AVIC-D3, it's starting to look like Pioneer intends to discontinue the D3 -- I don't think we'll ever see a S/W update to fix all the problems, and predict that Pioneer will stop supporting it.

JLeach12 Posted March 22, 2008 Report Share Posted March 22, 2008 the pioneer d3 supports almost all the products that were out when it was released. only problems that started occuring was when new products came out. oem cars are basically the same problems especially with bluetooth.

Guest astrobill Posted March 23, 2008 Report Share Posted March 23, 2008 I disagree completely. You're simply factually incorrect. Tons of phones that were out for three years or more when the AVIC-D3 came out do not work properly with the CDBTB200 because Pioneer did not adhere to the HFP and voice dialing elements in the Bluetooth standard. Just one example: There are dozens of folks on this site who are complaining that the D3 doesn't play the voice dialing prompts from their phone, whereas all other major players in the industry don't have this problem. Even a $300 Tom Tom portable unit with Bluetooth handles the Bluetooth Hands-Free Profile (HFP) standard properly and makes the voice dialing prompts audible. My RAZR phone was out for at least three years before the AVIC, and is one of many that the D3 doesn't properly support. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MisFit Posted March 30, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 in case anyone missed it, pioneer extended the rebate to the end of april Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hitek510 Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 I am thinking about purchasing from the site 6ave.com. How much did you pay for it? On the site currently, it is listed as $589 with "rebate already applied". They are an authorized dealer according to the Pioneer website and I am wondering if they would still honor the rebate if ordering from them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ls1993 Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 When submitting the rebate forms (for a D3x purchase), do we need the UPC of the outer D3x box only or do we have to include the ones inside (the D3, bluetooth, Ipod cable, etc.)?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MisFit Posted April 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 no, just the two off of the actual d3 box Quote Link to post Share on other sites
