Hello I am considering purchasing the Pioneer Avic D1 I found a used one for $500 works great all parts are included but I was wondering how well these units perform and if there is a way to still utilize the factory steering wheel controls with this unit.I have an 07 Mark LT if that maters.Thanks in advance for any help.

First let me say that I am new to this forum and neither an expert on Ford nor Pioneer. However, I just completed (almost - I need to find a place for the hands free mic) an install of:

1. Pioneer AVIC-D3 DVD Multimedia AV navigation system.
2. Pioneer CDX-P1280 CD changer
3. Pioneer CD-BTB200 Bluetooth Adapter
4. Pioneer ND-BC2 Universal rear-view camera

This went into my 2007 F350. My experience with Pioneer is limited to this install. However it appears to me that if they don't say that it is compatible with a specific non-Pioneer product, then it is probably not compatible. You can get a copy of the install manual in PDF format online at <http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pna/product/detail/0,,2076_3151_218219118,00.html> just click on the Install manual. You'll need to register. I registered before I bought anything. No problem. You just need an email address and Adobe Acrobat Reader.

But all the manual shows for the wired remote is where you plug in the Pioneer wired remote "sold separately".

Another place you might check is <http://www.the12volt.com>. Although a quick search of their forums didn't yield the desired results either.

Hope this helps.
