Hi guys just to pop the post cherry

 

 

who here like i was on the verge of buying a Z or even a D but have now abandoned there planes and are wait for the release of the F. I want the AVIC-F90BT

 

So i see that most of the stores around here have not started selling the z3 i know it comes out in June but how long will it take for the F to hit store shelves.

I will be waiting as well, and would like to know when the will be in stores or online. Also, where is the best online place to purchase? Thanks

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 :)

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. :P 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.

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.

Shoot I am not only waiting I will be changing out both a Z2 and a D3.... its worth the money.

My D3 will be hitting craigslist as well. Hoping to get the Premier model for the glossy finish

I'd like to get one too, but I'll wait and let some of you guys be the guinea pigs first. :smile: 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.

i think i too will be waiting.

how much do items usually sell below mspr when they first go out approximately?

I just got a D3 about 2 months ago with AM Nav Traffic, BT and all the good stuff now this F Series came out dang this sucks... so this F series will be better than the D3? would you be able to change the Colors like the D3?

Posted Apr 29, 2008 · 15:19 UTC#11

Yes it changes colors like the D3. Read this to decide if you like it better

It'll also use MSN for traffic updates, and my guess is it'll be more accurate than XM traffic.

I do like the D3, but the F series has me giddy with anticipation. I guess I'm just an upgrade whore :shock: 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.

I was going to order a D3 this coming Thursday, good thing a friend of mine recommended this page to me. I'm definitely going to wait for the F90BT instead.

Posted May 06, 2008 · 00:09 UTC#19

the two guys in our install bay are MECP certified and have been working there since the store opened 5 years ago so i think its safe to call them professionals. Doesn't really matter, i do all my own installs (im very picky on how shit gets done) but when i need something put in, like my sirius turner or bluetooth kit i let them work on it while im working in the car audio department.

Dropped my entire stimulus check for deposit on it last Monday.

Posted May 08, 2008 · 14:53 UTC#23

i will be waiting for the release. i have a valor 670w that i installed, it was pretty simple. is the the new F series going to be just as easy to install? im an amateur at best.

I put my "deposit" on my F90BT last night... I paid for the whole thing. I called to ask the store if they would do it and they gave me 25% off MSRP!!
