Jeffola Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 I run a Metro NY Home audio/Video installation company, and pre ordered a D3 for myself (even sold my D2 on ebay while they were still worth good money) and I was told by the Car Audio Buyer that the unit should be in to them mid-February. Their internal website says "Coming March" so i'll bet we will see them late february, early march. The comment someone made about the CD being obselete is totally true. With an iPod direct cable, and better control and info, this unit will be the one to beat. My only hope for an enhancement (other than all I read) would be a qwerty layout on the screenm I know my alphabet, but would prefer qwerty. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hybridamp Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 I still wish Pioneer would up the pre-out voltage from 2v nominal to 4v or higher... That's the only place Pioneer went backward in technology rather than forward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
John@20Squared Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 do you guys really think that a pre-order on the D3 is going to be necessary? I mean, it isn't like a limited number of them are going to be made or anything like that. The other models seemed to be very readily available for extended periods of time until they were taken off the market by Pioneer. Is the D3 going to be in that high of a demand that you aren't going to be able to get your hands on one if you don't pre-order it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
T Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Is the D3 going to be in that high of a demand that you aren't going to be able to get your hands on one if you don't pre-order it? yes. not to mention that the first shipment will be small Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hybridamp Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 If you need one from the first shipment, yeah, deposit couldn't hurt. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NOIRtist Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Think its possible to pre-order this unit at a larger chain store? Like Best Buy or something? Because I cant find any authorized dealers locally... which is strange. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
T Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 were are you in fl? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NOIRtist Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Palm Beach County. I've been looking at Best Buy and Brands Mart USA. Sound Advice is close-by but way too expensive, they'll charge me full MSRP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hybridamp Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Yeah, I wouldn't pay full MSRP either... I'd try the yelllowpages under car audio/stereo. Most of the dealers should carry Pioneer, even if they're not on the Pioneer site. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Technyne Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Spoke to Pioneer today (1-800 Tech Car) They stated Mid-Late May. -Technyne Quote Link to post Share on other sites
apercele79 Posted January 29, 2007 Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 Spoke to Pioneer today (1-800 Tech Car) They stated Mid-Late May. -Technyne that's not exactly good news but i have a feeling other sites will come out with the product by then and i don't mean EBAY either...

NOIRtist Posted January 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2007 I found a local dealer today, he spoke with 2 of his distributors. One said March and the other said a couple of weeks. So we'll see. I'm going tomorrow to put down my deposit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hybridamp Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Still dunno how accurate this info is, but my retailer called just now (where I placed a deposit a week or so ago) and said that my D3 was in route to the store... I'll keep you posted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
apercele79 Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 At what price is he selling it...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
