Hello,
I need to hack some files DVD nav , you can see on DVD nav some *.PRG files, they are application files on DVD for AVIC. If you can disassemble this files we can mod somes infos like DVD regions.
Do you know what processor used by Avic-D3? (need for disassemble)
I see on other topic it is NEC 78K derivative for D1???
Please help thank you
Buy an AVIC that's made for your region. 
We've been down this route a few times here already.

Thank you for your response they helpe me a lot .... 
Just one post talk about this and not for D3, it not probleme for my region or not , it is just I way to understand for EU and US customers how D3 work.
Sorry... but given that English clearly isn't your primary language and you were talking about the region code on the nav disks, I assumed you were going the route others ad by attempting to alter the region code on a European nav disk to make it work in an American AVIC unit... which in which previous attempts had not worked.
I see what your doing, but the whole hex editor thing. I don't know how well the programming will take to that once inside the D3 though. If your dead set on this go to www.cdfreaks.com and see if they can help you. I have done some editing but never for this stuff.
Call Pioneer...
Call Pioneer...
Pioneer don't want to listen anything about problem for EU customers who's buy AVIC from USA...
They can just put on there website update for AVIC US to AVIC EU, but they don't and I don't now why... 
Pioneer loss lot of EU client with this problem (I will never buy Pioneer equipement).
Hey, don't blame Pioneer. You're the one who bought something that you clearly knew wasn't meant for use in your region of the world before you even bothered to find out if you could actually even use it.
It's easy to say buy new one:/ if you don't know how to help don't write nothing cos some people have realy good ideas!
You Europeans have noone to blame but yourselves. You want to cheat your local governments by not paying taxes, VAT, customs duties, etc., by buying an EU AVIC. You purchase a US AVIC off of ebay, have the seller write "GIFT" on the customs form to save even more money, and then you complain when it doesnt work. Save some extra dollars and buy EU stuff.

werd that is the best way to put it
Mister Hifisi. You look like king here !!!! or God !!! Or whatever !!! FYI, If you go to Pioneer web site you cant find any info will protect you about region code. I thinks that if pioneer want stay clean they need put an clear message about region code. If you buy Kenwood, Alpine or else you dont have these problem. Can you tell me how tried to stolen ????? By the way, dont complain about my english...I suppose that it will better then your french !!

Except pioneer we dont blame nobody here !!! Fyi, when we buy some stuff in your coutry, at the delivry we paid shipping cost (100usd), custom fees(14%) and vat (19.6%). You can write " gift" in the box, but if the custom open the boxe you will loose your "gift" !!But you rigth on 1 point. We tried to save some money, like you, specially by the way!! Except rate consideration, you have over 500 USD difference for the same product between USA and Europe.
I'd honestly just pay the extra $500 just so I wouldn't have to deal with all the bullshit.
Hifisi: again, bullshit com from pioneer. Why they make an so big different price between 2 continent for the same product????? Why they dont informed the buyer about region code? Between you and me, i can buy an other product, compatible with my utilisation, or i can resale my avic on ebay but is not honest!! I'm totally scandalised by the pioneer attitude. Since i buy the avic and pioneer doenst informed me and doenst help me, they become my ennemy !!! I 'm close to find an issue to converted the region code in the flash rom, with oem parts for less then 120 usd and beleive me that all the world will have benefit....except pioneer.
By the way, dont complain about my english...I suppose that it will better then your french !!
Thats right, beings I speak French, well Cajun French (the kind yall dont understand) I agree, yalls French will be better than the others... but remember now, this a predominately U.S. forum and over here we speak English. If we were posting over in your forum or in your country yall would be complaining about our shitty French.... 
I agree, this is the reason why we talking in english here, but dont be joking whit our english....!!!!!! Hello to our cajuns brothers !!![/img]
All this s****y comments, i knew, most american people are really "basic"... that´s all i can say if i read this.
BTW, i don´t wanna save any money, i just have an american car with Pioneer OEM, and i am in Europe at this time!
I'm an American serving in US Armed forces Europe.... and i am in the same conundrum as the French guy. I have a US Spec Pioneer AVIC D3 unit i bought in the states with GPS. Correct me if i am wrong but doesn't GPS stand for GLOBAL positioning service or system..? i bought a GPS unit it can tell me where i am Globally... whether i am in Kansas or Butt Fuk India... Apparently i didn't buy that and as it turns out what i really bought was a UPS ( US Positioning system ) because as soon as i placed the European NAVI Disc in my Pioneer GPS Marketed D3 unit, they didn't work...
Thats like buying buy a 4x4 Jeep and then the damn thing turns off on you when you want to go off-roading on specific roads...
I too think its bull crap... 
i have tried different resources and i really believe the D3's from Europe and the US are the same... i think the key is in the disc...
After numerous hours trying to mix files and change values on some of the files within the Discs, i still haven't been able to make them work....
I bought a car too which was imported from the us and clearly the radio wasn't the selling point. But I do think that GPS is GPS. I mean I can load US maps to my old Garmin unit I bought in the shop around here. That it is not possible the other way round is a bit dissapointing. So I have a good radio (not for good radio reception for the missing even frequencies) but for the features which half of it I cannot use.. gonna stay with my mobile phone navigator, that takes every map!
