Pioneer AVIC-D3

The new AVIC-D3 is Pioneer's latest phase in the evolution of their popular AVIC in-dash navigation systems.

Key features include: XM NavTraffic integration, voice prompting, telephone number search, and a bunch of entertainment features like support for both XM and Sirius Satellite Radio, CD/DVD playback, iPod Direct, iPod video support and expanded Bluetooth capabilities including wireless audio streaming.

The AVIC-D3 fits into a standards double-din dash opening, and rocks a beautiful 6.1 inch display with eight built-in illumination colors, and the option to choose from 32,000 other color variations (allowing the unit to match pretty much any vehicle on the road).

Pioneer's AVIC-D3 provides mapping and routes for the entire United States and Canada, with detailed mapping and detailed lane information in 50 cities. Included in the system are about 12 million points of interest like ATMs, gas stations, hotels and restaurants, which can be overlaid directly onto the map. The system utilizes 59 brand icons for quick identification of familiar POIs.

With the optional traffic tuner, the GEX-P10XMT, and a XM NavTraffic subscription, you can receive real-time alert of current traffic incidents and traffic flow conditions, by overlaying the information onto the map screen with flashing lines and icons, and providing an alternative route around the obstruction.

XM and Sirius Satellite Radio are both available options in the AVIC-D3, and the front-panel mounted mini-jack A/V input allows the addition to other attached components such as camcorders, gaming devices or music players.

The Pioneer AVIC-D3 will MSRP for $1000, and is expected to be available in March.



AVIC-D3 is a Double-DIN (it’s twice the size of a normal single-DIN CD tuner) GPS and entertainment system designed to integrate perfectly with your car’s interior; you can even customise the colour of the illumination.

The system has a 6.1 inch colour touch screen that is incredibly intuitive and easy-to-use; menu’s are dynamic, giving you quick and easy access to the functions you need at the time you need them.

The heart of the D3 is an advanced navigation system. You get full map coverage of 26 European countries; that’s over 7.5 million kilometres of road and over 1.5 million points of interest.

The D3 always knows where you are; even if there is a weak GPS signal. A 3D Gyro Sensor continually monitors your cars movements; so the D3 is quick to respond and reroute; there’s no delay when you’re trying to find your way.

You can avoid the traffic jams, too; the D3 has a built-in TMC (Traffic Messaging Channel) receiver, which alerts you to black spots and gives you several alternative routes, depending on your requirements.
And the D3 is compatible with just about everything. You can bring your digital lifestyle in car. Play DVDs, MP3 music, DivX videos, CDs and more; or with optional accessories, you can connect your iPod, Bluetooth phone or a TV Tuner.
There’s also a front aux. in which means you can connect almost any digital music player directly to the front of the system.

The D3 is a hub of entertainment for you and your passengers.
