Pioneer D3 installed
 

Finally installed the Pioneer D3 navigation unit. It's a double din unit but with only one disc drive. It's ok for me because i just use my ipod anyway for music and for vidoes as it is ipod video compatible. The ipod intergration works pretty well. It is also navtraffic ready and has DVD/Divx playback. Overall it's a great value as I got it for $850 which includes a free backup camera from crutchfield.

Install was pretty easy as I had an alpine radio before hand so did not have to lay any new RCA interconnects. I did have to cut the plastic that used to separate the cd player from the MID. The hardest part was trying to thread the GPS cable thru the rubber boots on the spoiler. It is currently connected to an original Soundstream 604 powering MB QM216 up fronts and 215 in the back and an Soundstream 502 powering a JL 10w6v2.

Enjoy and let me know what you think.
