I too am eagerly anticipating the F-Series release. Also going for the premier AVIC-F90BT. Hope their promised scheduled launch of June doesn't slip too much Link to post Share on other sites
nbdew002 Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 I too am going to put my D3 that i just got back in december for sale. Avic F90BT has my name written all over it. Cant wait for it. What did me in was the Lync technology. Gotta love it, just say play"flo rida" and it will start automatically. Way nicer than the d3 and having to scroll through the artist. Also the late 2006 maps are killing me on the D3. They need some updates badly. Plus the shortest and fastest settings need some work. Bluetooth will just be a bonus on that.

avicacious Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Another big plus is the flat styling of the buttons on the new units. They are fewer and are not bulging out of the unit - that's what makes most of these units not fit quite right. Link to post Share on other sites
dwhitley0381 Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Shoot I am not only waiting I will be changing out both a Z2 and a D3.... its worth the money. Link to post Share on other sites
whtcrxghst Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 My D3 will be hitting craigslist as well. Hoping to get the Premier model for the glossy finish Link to post Share on other sites
holee Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I'd like to get one too, but I'll wait and let some of you guys be the guinea pigs first. I also just bought a D3, so I'm not in a rush. I'll probably take the plunge around October. I figure by then a lot of the first gen bugs will have been taken care of as well. I do hope the final retail price will be under $1,000.

holee Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 It'll also use MSN for traffic updates, and my guess is it'll be more accurate than XM traffic. Link to post Share on other sites
kaplan_reject Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I do like the D3, but the F series has me giddy with anticipation. I guess I'm just an upgrade whore I always want the latest. I'm gonna pawn the D3 off on my wife the second the F90 Premier is released. Hopefully that will keep me satisfied for a little while. Link to post Share on other sites
