I just picked up this new 2008 pioneer HU and i must say I like it alot. I'm coming from a pioneer flip up screen and the sound quality and looks of this new unit is better by far. I decided to get this unit over the d3 because I did not need navigation, I can navigate myself fine without having to depend on a computer to do it for me

Here are some pics after the install:

 

red button is my bypass switch

 

shizam

 

It has alot of EQ options and Bass options

You can switch the color, i think there is like 10 different to choose from

 

Nice Mod! Did you get the back up camera?

 

Not yet but I probably will soon.

 

how did you wire and set up the bypass? looks good

 

It has to be just a push button that connects momentarily then breaks when it goes back up, and on one side i ran the green wire to the switch and the other side to the ground, so it temporarily breaks the ground so the headunit thinks you are pushing the parking break down.

 

looks just like the avic d3 too. nice one.i just ordered the avic d3. how much was that one?

 

$365

 

where did you get it?

 

I'd love to know where you got it for that price.

 

What I did was look on ebay and search for the unit within 20 miles of my house, and I contacted the seller and he accepted a local pickup at his warehouse without me having to pay shipping so i saved a good 20-30 bucks, if you want I can give you a link to the sellers store i think its like 370 or something under 400 in his ebay store.

 

did it come with the mounting bracket as well? a quick question though, if i didnt buy the bypass unit, could i still listen to a cd on it? looks awesome, im really gonna look at them now.

 

I did the bypass button myself with a button i bought at radioshack, yes you can still listin to cds fine without it its only for video.
