I'm thinking of getting the F900bt...

 

When the come to canada, I am definitely going to get one... the F90BT...

here's a video review

looking like a SWEET deck... i'm excited...

 

ya im planning on getting it.. perfect for the AT..

 

its look great even with the online traffic,weather reports and gas.. but only draw back screen is 5.8 vs my D3 6.1

 

mmmmm...... AVIC-F90BT....... *drooooollllss*... I have my DD kit on order here in Vancouver + gonna get the f90 in a couple weeks

 

We have received both the F900 and F700 at work. I have played around with the F900 and it seems like a cool unit, but I wouldn't get one, just like I wouldn't get a D3.

The MSN info is nice. I believe it is $150/yr for those services.

 

Y not? Any fatal flaws? Want to write a small writeup?

 

Anyone know if this is easy to swap out an old D3 and put in the new F?
Like, would I have to reprogram my steering wheel controls? Will it be difficult to re-wire the speedometer, compass, navi, rear-view camera, etc?

 

OMG THIS IS SIIIIIIIIIIICK!

This should lower the prices of the D3 and I'm willing to bet that best buy will have a blow out clearance sale for the D3.

 

Well, I should explain myself. I am the type that would purchase a full 7" double din as opposed to a smaller unit like this, the D3, or the Kenwood DNX5120. I just happen to like units such as the Alpine IVA-W505 or the Kenwood DNX8120.

Now onto the AVIC-F900BT. I honestly like the looks of the D3 a bit more. I am not too crazy about how wide the left control panel area is. This also causes the screen to decrease in size to 5.8". It seems that every year, Pioneer's intro-level navigation head unit seems to get a smaller size screen (6.5"->6.1"->5.8"). Lol. The picture quality is supposed to be a bit better.

What I do like is the new "layout" of the menus. They do look nice. Destination takes you to Navi mode. Contacts is all about your cell phone, and AV source takes you to a sub menu that allows you to choose your source (AM, FM, CD, Sirius, etc.).

One thing I noticed was that the response of the unit seems a bit slow at times. Sometimes I end up pressing the screen twice because it seems like it didn't recognize my touch the first time. This bothers me alot.

The new navigation looks good. The display is a bit more detailed than the previous D3. You can easily select between 2D or 3D mode.

Overall, it seems like a nice unit. Not having to deal with a Navigation disc is a great plus. I really wish Pioneer would have priced this unit $100 less at $999. However, in comparison to its rival, the Kenwood DNX5120, this unit comes with a built-in Bluetooth unit, so it seems like a greater value.

 

The price of the D3 was already lowered significantly. The unit used to be $999 and were available for $699 the last few months. My store was hooking people up because Pioneer had a $200 rebate. Some of my customers were getting D3's for $499.

 

I got my D3 for $499 and thought it was a steal at that price. If the F series drops the price again I hope members take advantage.

 

At this point, it would be up to the individual store whether or not they want to drop the price. D3's are so easy to sell that there should be no reason for a retailer not to sell their stock. Most retailers in my area have been completely sold out of D3's for a while now.

 

Avic D3 $499.99 at my local circuit city.. best buy is still selling it for 1K

 

Al&Ed's is having a 18% off of the new F series if you order through their homepage. Discount code is AVIC411, it is only good for this week thou.
