The only one I know of thats out is the new iPod cable, CD-I200.

 

However, I believe there will also be a new Bluetooth Receiver? Is that true? When will it be out?

 

Is the Sirius Tuner (SIR-PNR2) the best to get or is there another one coming out soon?

 

Any other new accessories or upgrades? Post em up! :D

No. The best is the Pioneer GEX-P10XMT. But remember "best" is only a matter of opinion :)

ND-BC2, brand new backup camera.

And that USB-IPBus thingy too. These two have been discussed in other threads.

Im aware, just thought that it would be a good idea to get all the accessories and info in to one thread. So folks dont go and buy the previous versions, like I almost did yesterday.

 

And no need to me a smartass, I've been on Pioneer's website. And the Bluetooth accessory listed is actually the old model, apparently there is a newer version being released. Hence this thread.

 

Unless you have some useful information to post, please resist the urge to be a douche. :D Thank you.

New bluetooth is the CD-BTB200, replaces the 100. Last I asked I was told it would be out a month or two after the D3

I KNOW you didnt mean this to me, since I was not being a wise ass (for once).

Did someone call??!?!?! Also before you call XM a douche, look at how much he has contributed to the forum and compare it to yours, COOCHO!

Focus ladies: anyone know the differences between the 2 bluetooth modules?

Before I contribute to the original subject of the thread I am going to chime in about the quoted text... Although I'm not 100% positive I think NOIRtist was referring to madmanfrommars with this post, since he was pointing out an obvious source that has really no useful information about upcoming accessories for the D3. Actually I don't think NOIRtist should take offense to that post as I think that madman meant no harm with his post and was trying to point into a general (but unuseful in this case) direction.

 

Anyway, about the accessories... didn't hear anything about a new backup camera, but the BTB200 bluetooth is definitely on the way. The most logical upgrade with the new BTB200 is going to be support for newer BT profiles including A2DB, which will allow you to stream music from an bluetooth enabled audio source (windows mobile device, zune, etc.) to stream music to your stereo. There may be some additional features as well. Then I'm sure they're going to improve connection quality and support more devices, as I've heard in the past some users have complained about dropoffs or lack of support in previous adapters. It seems that with every new unit Pioneer releases they are getting much better with knocking out common issues, so improvement in this area is likely. Someone told me May in another thread, which is in line with what whtcrxghst was saying.

 

Haven't heard anything about any sirius or xm receivers that aren't out already, but I wouldn't be surprised if pioneer develops a xm sirius hybrid receiver in the near future since there's already talks about new devices coming that are capable of doing both.

The ND-BC2 is actually out for sale right now. MSRP is $250, but places on eBay got it listed for around $175.

I highly doubt Pioneer will be releasing any new receivers, for the AVIC or otherwise, for satellite rumor based on the pending merger. Nothing has been hammered out as to which frequencies to use, will they use both frequencies and have dual tuner chips in new devices (this last option would make portable satellite radios like the Pioneer Inno and Sirius Stilletto HUGE!)

What's changed in the ND-BC2?

Posted Feb 24, 2007 · 03:07 UTC#17

Yeah, I just checked and looks like size and viewing angle are the only differences. 135 vs. 112 for horizontal, 100 vs. 82 for vertical. Size is now 1"x1"x1" vs. 1"x2"x3/4". Light sensitivity, CCD size, and resolution are still the same.

 

Anyone wanna buy an ND-BC1? :wink:

Posted Feb 24, 2007 · 03:49 UTC#18

definitely the style of it. Looks different (and the specs show it smaller).

Not sure but I think someone here said the specs on the BC2 blow the older model away.

Rereading the 1st post, I may have taken that as more sarcastic than it really was. My mistake, and I apologize. lol If you were trying to be a smart ass, then my reply stands! :D lmao

 

But, I'm glad I started this thread. Some useful info already for sure. Would you suggest the pioneer cam over another brand? And is there any added functionality by using the pioneer cam over another?

Yeah, I think that was me. I actually ended up buying the new pioneer back up camera. I compared it to my friends ND-BC1, and there is no comparision. Higher resolution, and better night vision. It is a little over half the size of the old one, so its a lot easier to hide it from potential theives.

Unless the Pioneer site is wrong, they should be the same resolution and same light sensitivity with the only difference being improved viewing angle and size.

 

 

- 1/4" Color CCD with 270,000 pixel resolution (491 x 512 pixels)

- 1.5 ~ 10,000 Lux Automatic Luminance Control (includes automatic low-light lux mode for higher detail and contrast in low-light conditions)

 

The ND-BC1 does say only 250,000 pixel resolution, but they're both 491x512 so someone can't do math.

Damn Shawn... chill pill. I meant higher pixel resolution.

 

270,000 pixel resolution vs 250,000?!?!?!

Posted Feb 24, 2007 · 09:31 UTC#23

Thanks azn... it's nicer for someone to provide information from their own experience beyond just the paper specs. Its much better to have someone who has tried both products to take that step and say "there is no comparison in quality between the BC1 and BC2 models" as opposed to just comparing the specs but having no experience of seeing the difference in picture.

 

So, if you want a better picture (and even moreso at night) pick up the BC2 model. If you're going for budget/functionality and don't mind the lower quality image, go for the BC1.

Posted Feb 24, 2007 · 12:27 UTC#24

I am very happy with the picture quality of my BC1 (especially in twilight or in darkness with my brake lights on while backing up at night.) Might have to pick up the new one to try out. Is it the same connections as the previous model, or do i have to run a new cable all the way to the deck?
