ok so I have the D-1 and I'm looking at getting the D3, however I have not found anything that really makes me want to switch. I mean yeah it has the bluetooth capability, phonebook yada yada yada but it only has 1 slot for dvd's,Nav, and cd's!? WTF is up with that? I think I would rather get a external dvd player and run dvd's that way...any other input?
I purchased mine specifically for the improved ipod interface and bluetooth. if these features don't interest you, stick w/ your current unit.
Agreed, the volume knob is nice too--took forever to turn up and down the D1. I have never taken the nav disk out, I just put all my music and a few movies a time on my ipod. I don't think I could go back

I've got my 80GB iPod loaded up with all of my music in Apple Lossless - Sounds at least as good as a CD (no jitter from the optical pickup), and I can fit tons on there...the AVIC-D3 plays Apple Lossless via the iPod just fine. 
It's not lossless....
true but if I was going for supreme SQ I would not of gone with a D3, I would of went Nakamichi,Eclipse,or and old Denford unit
I used 320k mp3s ,sound good,not quite CD but still sound good,
Plus with Ipod you dont have to carry 100cds in your car
My ipod sounds fine. Even have my old IASCA comp. disk on there. How times have changed

Comprehension > You.
Apple LOSSLESS is a LOSSLESS codec, meaning that no data is lost when the file is encoded. So yes. Apple LOSSLESS is in fact, LOSSLESS. FLAC is LOSSLESS, APE (Monkey's Audio) is LOSSLESS. Before spreading misinformation, please know the subject matter before posting.
