Thanks to Best Buy, I need to replace both the microphone and the GPS Antenna (they decided to splice both wires), where can I get a replacement for both of these pieces? Thanks in advance.

I bet they thought they could save on the install if they just installed the new Microphone GPS Antenna hybrid. Fewer wires to hook up?

There are a LARGE number of replacement GPS antennas and microphones on eBay for the AVICs. You have a choice of original Pioneer GPS antennas or much cheaper replacements. Not sure if the cheap ones work as well as the Pioneer original ones...but you can find BOTH on eBay.
I used to have a D3 (my buddy has an X920BT) and the replacement antennas on eBay definitely have the right connector as long as your careful to read the description and get the right one.
By the way, a lot of installers are STUPID about splicing these wires...one should NEVER splice an RF, microphone, GPS, or XM antenna AT ALL. Adds noise and usually ruins the antenna....
Also, a lot of installers don't understand that one needs to leave air pockets both in front of and behind speakers and microphones of any kind...basic physics about how they work...
