4. The inability to “quickly†access songs via my 3,000+ IPod song selection. To hear Ziggy Marley I had to scroll through 3000+ songs to access the "Z's"

You do know that you can scroll "up" with the D3, going from A back to Z with one button push?

Well that was a bad example so a better example would be searching for an artist with the first letter of "M". Up or down you still have to search through thousands and thousands of artist.

Good luck, shame we both did not meet earlier, we could have just swapped all of our equipment with eachother since we both seem to be 180 degrees apart in our tastes. The BT function may be a verizon problem, if you search the forums it seems verizon blocks some of the verizon functions. I have a VX8550 which works fine with the hands free but the data functions such as moving the address book is blocked on all devices not just the avic d3.

Good luck finding an online support site as good as Avic411.com

cheers,

I agree that the D-3 does suffer from wacky routes and the best word I can use to describe it is 'stubborn'. It wants you to go the way it wants you to go. It will persistently try to make you go 'it's way' for miles even if you refuse to. I have learned to deal with it, but I must say, as far as the best GPS I ever had, it was TomTom by far. But truth be told, that one you have an in-dash unit, there is no going back to a suction cup on the windshield.

Maybe someday Pioneer will bless us with an awesome firmware update, but I am not holding my breath.

cheers,

I couldn't agree with you more! This is an awesome site and why I still hang around here even though I am no longer a D3 owner is beyond me.
