How come you barely find any AVIC D3's on Ebay/Internet?

I don't see many D3's on Ebay anymore. Once you filter out the ones that need repair, advertising bypasses, just NAV DVDs, etc...there's only a handful on there. I would think there would be a lot of refurbs on the market.

I'm thinking about trading in my SUV which has a D3 in it, and just buying another one to go in my new vehicle because my wife loves it. I would take it out of my old SUV, but it would be a pain to replace the dash, factory radio, etc...(which may end up costing more then a D3). But now that I see there's barely any on ebay or internet sites, I guess it's worth the trouble.

Thoughts?

Most people hang on to them. The D3 sold more then any other in dash nav unit ever.

Could be because a lot of them were introduced to the business end of a baseball bat... :lol:

I installed an avic-f two months ago. So maybe I should sell my perfectly working D3 with the xm and blutooth modules...

I considered throwing mine on ebay right after the F-series hit, when there were a ton of them on ebay...but I decided to stick with the D3. However, you're right...I was looking for a D3 for a friend and there were only two on ebay, one that wasn't working.

because the d3 is the best avic deck out there still, the F series suck, take too long to boot, crapy interface.

the d3 is so solid

X2 D3 is ROCK SOLID performer. I wouldn't sell mine for anything.

Yeah, I decided to go through the trouble of taking the D3 out and installing it in the new vehicle. I was even able to integrate it with the factory DVD/Rear Monitor system

I will put a cheap replacement (some $175 Chinese made model on ebay) in the old SUV and sell it privately.

I love the D3 and it's probably the longest I've held on to a radio.

i've been looking for a broken/non working d3 for months now, with not luck.

i would say they are pretty rock solid

I found mine on craigslist, got it for $450 and it's nice buying things you get to see before paying for them.
