frcko Posted August 1, 2007 Report Share Posted August 1, 2007 Hello, I am going to vacation to EU this summer and my buddy over there asked me go get AVIC D3 here in US for him and bring it to him ... apparently it is much cheaper here than there. I am wondering if using EU map discs would work in US version of D3 ? THX Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adamantium Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Hi, I am new here so certainly no expert, but I am in the UK if that helps. I see no reason why it would not work as we have managed to use EU discs sucessfully in imported japanese cars hat have run japan's version of pioneer head units without any problems. They need a frequency expander due to the difference in their broadcast radio stations, but the US uses the same frequencies as the uk. There is a huge price difference (like double) and we have to pay for the ipod adapter separately, but we do get the bluetooth module and according to the pioneer uk website, the manual for the D3 at least indicates that we have RDS on ours, whereas I don't think the US version does. Until my own one arrives shortly, I can't confirm if this is the case. I have to wait about a month. Make sure you let your EU friend know, as I would be really p'd off at the lack of RDS.

frcko Posted August 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 23, 2007 if you get CNDV-70D disks somehow please let me know it it works Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adamantium Posted August 24, 2007 Report Share Posted August 24, 2007 If someone tells me how to mirror the discs, I will be making a "backup" of my own euro supplied discs. Of course I would "never" supply someone in need with a copy as that would be copyright infringement! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mrkk Posted September 6, 2007 Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 Same pricing policy here in Finland. Sucks. Do you use both odd and even radio frequencies in Norway ? Old days that was one of the problems with radios from US. What about region coding on the DVD ? thnx, mrkk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
