Isn't that exactly what I just wrote?

Axx, the damned thing has that feature already, I use it everyday. It works exactly as you want it to. As soon as I get in front of my unit ill figure out where it is in the settings and ill post it for you on here.

great, I am going to go out and mess with it myself. thanks.

Found it

it wasnt easy. start on pg 73 of the manual upper left corner.

that sends you to page 123

which describes how to turn it on in the initial setup menu. to access the initial setup menu goto pg 122.

I havent tried it yet, but I now have it set on ATT, I believe it is short for attenuate which is what I am trying to do.

thanks for the encouragement. that is one less thing they need to add for the d4.

just make the navigation work. The D3 is terrible. i laugh at most of the routes it gives. all other features work well except the navigation

I'd like to be able to have the POI search list be organized by distance instead of alphabetical.

Also have an option to change the keyboard to a QWERTY type.

Allow you to adjust each freq. in the EQ.

I think a longer wiring harnes is much needed. Instead of a second dvd slot or a hard drive why not add a sd slot for the nav program, less moving parts. also a better sirius interface.

Ditto. RDS would be nice though, but my only gripe with this unit is the piss-poor navigation. Oh, and the ability to change the menu color like you can with the buttons would be nice....rather than just having a few presets.

oh and hd radio would be good

and the ablity to control a tv tuner or the 6dvd changer using the d3 touch screen not the dvd player.

RDS and HD radio for local stations would be nice

If Pioneer did everything suggested in this topic the D4 would probably cost close to as much as the Z2.

ya but just a wish list.

also, dedicated buttons for am fm1 fm 2 and fm3....i hate having to cycle through all bands to get to what i want.

Also in the category of "only if it don't cost too much"... How about having a way to change the color of the buttons. I am lucky they match my interrior, but several cars I've put them in to do not match.

 

It already does. You have RED, GREEN, and BLUE controls to do just that. It also allows you to save up to three custom color presets as well.

Sorry, I didn't know the D3 had this feature. I've only installed D1 & D2s.

You people realize that Pioneer designed the new deck several months ago?

I am anxiously awaiting the Consumer Electronics Show January 7th.

if the F500bt is any idication to what the d4 will have, it looks like our wish list items will com true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was at CES and so far there's no indication of anything new, except this thing. I would rather that though, because then theres more chance of a firmware update for the D3

Maybe I missed it, but here goes. I would love to see a Speed sensitive volume (adjustable levels perhaps), even if it is only for the beep tones and voice guidance.

In my Mustang Bullitt, at highway speeds it is kida loud and I have to have the beeps and voice guidance volume turned up kinda loud just to hear them. Around town, our little lady friend sound like she is shouting dirctions at me.

If the unit is installed correctly, the vss wire is already connected, so it should only be a software change.

Just my two cents.

A CES rep claimed that there will not be anything on the new double dins until april. They still had the old ones on display.

Was told the same thing. Except the Z3 was in the brochures and its just a software change again, no hardware changes

Keeping the D4 cheap will probably mean no hard drive or second DVD drive. However, there are a few simple improvements that could really improve upon the D3 and wouldn't cost much.

1.- More onboard RAM. How about enough RAM to keep your entire state and the surrounding states in memory at all times? Flash RAM is cheap, and some 256 megs should easily do it. This would obviate the need for putting in the map disk except for very long trips.

2.- Fix the iPod interface bugs. Really, this should also be a free update for the D3.

3.- Album art (which, apparently, will show up on new models based on what's showing at CES).

4.- A toggle button to switch quickly between the Nav screen and the current Audio Source.

5.- The ability to adjust the angle of the screen, even if only manually (like a manual side view mirror).

4. If you're listening to audio, hit the MAP button, it goes to nav. If you're in nav, push the volume knob. It switches back to the audio source.

5. WHY???

a garage door opener feature would be nice

Just crossed my mind while looking through the custom background thread. I want the D4 to shuffle background images everytime it turns on and be able to display animated .gif files.

I'll try the volume nob thing, though personally I think I'd still prefer a toggle button.

As for the angle adjustment on the screen, it can mean the difference between a screen that is illegible due to glare and one that can be read.

I'm thinking the Pioneer Lawyers said no-no to the adding animated backgrounds because they can serve as a potential distraction while driving.

Being a Z1/Z2 owner, I would also like to see volume of the guidance voice be adjusted to according to the vehicles speed.

Its really a simple firmware update, so hopefully pioneer has a crack research team (or a research team on crack) fixing this and other issues.
