I just got the following items from crutchfield.

Pioneer AVIC-D3 DVD Navigation Receiver

Pioneer SIR-PNR2 Sirius Satellite Radio Add-on

Pioneer DEH-P4900iB CD Receiver

Pioneer CD-i200 Ipod Control I Ipod Control Interface

$30 Crutchfield gift card

Pioneer ND-BC2 Universal Rever Universal Reverse Rear-View Camera

All for $1067. They threw in the backup camera and ipod connector for FREE. Plus the referral credit and $15% off. I think it's a great deal. If anyone is waiting to get a D3, now is the time. FREE BACKUP CAMERA AND IPOD CONNECTOR!

I think if I were to resell the extra stuff, my D3 would end up costing me less than dealer cost.

What do you guys think?

I will post pics once I get everything and once I have it installed as well. Stay tuned.

well, i think you coulda put this with the other threads regarding d3's but good job on a nice unit.

as far as what you could sell it for, thats relative, Id suppose your time is worth something.. and blah blah blah, I hope you didnt get it to sell it, seems like alot of trouble for a bit over $200 if so.

Nah, I wanted to make my own thread on it, but...thanks for the response "Til it hurts", it is much appreciated . If I can make a few bucks off the parts I don't need, why not? Actually, though, I am going to use all of the stuff I get. By the way, its not a matter of "making $200, its reducing the cost of the actual unit. I just wanted to share this with others so they get a good deal as well.

no worries on the response, but if you were going to make a few bucks on it, why not post it in a classifieds thread, if not, it really doesnt amount to more then 'lowest price...." or 'cheapest...." or probably a half dozen other threads, but whatever.

You just HAD to post this didn't you?!

I've been debating back and forth about switching my D2 for a D3.

I decided that because of the extra cost ~$300, I wasn't going to do it. But now?! Ahhhh.

I could sell my D2 for ~$600. If I was to get the same exact thing you did, I could sell the camera for ~$150. The other CD player for ~$150. And the Sirius for ~$50. Add all that up and you get $950 and I'm only spending $50 to upgrade my D2.

Someone stop me.

cupcake, dont be a wuss, get it sportsfan21

There ya go SportsFan, at least someone understands what I'm trying to say. Go for it & GL.

Im a little confused. Please explain how you got the camera and ipod connector for free?

When I added the CD Receiver unit, they automatically threw in the ipod connector.

The backup camera is automatically added to your order when you get the D3. I had to chat with the CS rep Greg to confirm this.

You've just pushed me into making the D3 purchase. Who was your sales person? Can you PM me your order # so I can have him duplicate your order for me?

thanks,

Mark

What the hell?? Free back up camera with your D3?????!! I just payed $212 for mine from CF a week ago!? God damn, I hope they hook me up here! Thanks for the post, glad to hear you got such a good deal. lol I really hope they give me the discount, that would be killer.

wtf??

I j/placed an order last night, and mines came out to like $20-$40 less than that, and all i got was the D3 and ipod connector from crutchfield.

Did you use the 15% off code? Will CF let you cancel your order?

If they won't, then you can just place this order, get all that extra stuff for the extra $40 and then return the original order. CF will pay for the return shipping too. Just call and get an RMA number.

Worst case just threaten them w/ a return. I'm sure they'll take care of you.

As for me I just picked up the same components as THE OP. Since I already have a backup camera I figure I'll unload the Pioneer camera on ebay. Then break even on the Pioneer CD player by doing the same plus with it get the benefit of the free $30 ipod cable. This reduces the overlall cost by another $150+.

Afterwards this'll drop the price of my Avic-D3 to $850-$150= $700!!

I did one better. I noticed they gave me a $30 gift card with the deal by purchasing the Sirius tuner. I had them immediately apply the gift card to the CD-SR100 wireless steering wheel remote.

They can't ship it together due to the gift card, but as soon as my initial order ships, the next day they'll apply the $30 gift card and all I had to pay was the $9.99 balance for the remote. No extra shipping charges.

I worked with Jodi 1.800.388.2911 X4706. She was able to apply both the promotional code and $20 referral code.

If anyone needs a referral code, you can use mine:

$20 Referral Code: pu182-09tqa-puw8t

15% off Code: 3A185

The other important thing to consider is that Crutchfield is a Pioneer authorized seller. This means your D3 from them is covered by a 1 YR manufacturer warranty.

eBay purchases are not covered by the manufacturer and either have a shorter warranty period, or are covered by some 3rd party that can take weeks for repair.

One more thing. Since you're buying 2 headunits, you also get 2 sets of FREE vehicle specific installation accessories along w/ vehicle specific instructions to install your headunit (dash kit, vehicle specific wire harness, antenna adaptors, etc) Just be sure to put in 2 different vehicle types for each head unit. And with Crutchfield, you get free live technical support to help identify your VSS, reverse, and all other wiring.

Hope this helps you folks!

WTF, I'm going to return my order and place a new one if they won't throw in the camera...I am trying to order a "new" set-up online and the camera is not coming up as free.

Camera did not come up for me either. I had to enter it in the comments section. Then they'll add it. Minutes later you should get your order summary emailed to you with the ND-BC2 camera listed as free.

Did you get the ipod connector for free as well?

Yup. I initially added it myself, then I added the 4900i radio, and it came up with a second ipod connector, but the second one was free. So then I just deleted the first one which was 29.99, and it still showed the remaining free one.

Well I just called and they said a camera would be in the mail tomorrow. I decided not to push my luck w/ the Ipod connector or the $30 gift card. I guess I could just place a whole new order, but then I have to deal w/ the hassle of returning the whole first order.

I just went to CF site and the free rear camera is listed for free but not the ipod adapt. Either way seems like a good deal to me, maybe i'll go with the D3 over the Z2? Just another thing to think about now!!!

For some reason some of the free things Crutchfield gives you will show up in the shopping cart, and others won't. Last year when I got my D2, they threw in the S1 for free. It said it on the D2 product page, but when I added the D2 to the cart the S1 never showed up.

I gave a quick call to their customer service and confirmed that it will be included. Thats probably what they are doing with the camera. Call to be sure.

I just called CF's AWSOME customer service, and they said that I qualify for the free rear-view camera, and they will ship it tomorrow (I placed the order of avic-d3 on 03/03).

I tried to have it shipped overnight since i'm having my nav installed in couple of days, but no luck with that.

Thanks CF!

I just went to their site and added the D3 along with the Sirius Tuner but the camera nor the iPod adapter were added to the order. I went all the way through the process, up to the order confirmation page, and nada. I even tried to add both the iPod adapter and the backup camera manually and the continued to show up in the price.

Is there a trick to this or am I missing something? Do you need to call them to get this deal?

Well I just e-mailed them about the $30 XM gift card. I didn't want to keep calling back all in the same evening. If they say no, I will try calling in for another CSR tomorrow to get the gift card. I wouldn't push your luck w/ the Ipod adapter, since it appears to be a site error and should technically not be included.

call or chat with CS online and you should be able to get the free cam. Here's the link to this deal: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-k4OUDk623R5/popups/offerdetails.asp?offerid=19945

Cheers!!
