Product Description
Pioneer's AVIC-D2 is Pioneer's newest navigation system, designed to be easy to use as well as easy on the eyes. The large 6.5-inch display panel is easy to read, the touch panel provides intuitive operation, and the layout delivers user-friendly operation by positioning the basic control keys around the screen for easy reach. The unit is designed to fit into many modern vehicles with a "factory-fit" style, melding unobtrusively into the vehicle dashboard. Of course, the AVIC-D2 provides a full media experience with AM/FM radio, CD, MP3 and WMA, and more. Additionally, the system is ready to deliver detailed traffic information for major cities in conjunction with the XM NavTraffic service and an optional XM Radio tuner.

Poor navigation , buggy software with expensive updates. December 1, 2007
3 out of 3 found this review helpful

I have owned this for about 2 years, and paid far more. Even at these lower prices, I strongly recommend against this product. Although the screen is beutiful, the interface is clunky and slow. The navigation does not direct you to the destination with great acuracy, often times saying that you have arrived when you still have 1/4 mile to go. The GPS location itself is not as good as even the cheap protable units you can get for half this price. The NAV-Traffic option displays the traffic information correctly, but does not route around traffic jams. The software is buggy, and the database is old. Updates have been non-existent despite numerous bugs, and when they are available, they cost hundreds of dollars. I've switched to a cheap Garmin portable GPS and it navigates much better. I suggest you look at one of those.

It will get you there if you have a lot of Gas April 14, 2007

Routing on the Pioneer units really needs some work. I have a $400 Garmin that works way better. Mine will have me pass the road i should have turn on only to have me make a u turn and back track on the same road i was on and for a few miles only to turn on the road i passed 10 minutes before. This happens about 40% of the time. If you don't care about Navigation i would give it a 5 star rating for all the other feature. The only way you will be impressed with the pioneers is if you never owned a Garmin or just don't care about the navigation part.

I have an AVIC-D2 as a replacement to an AVIC-D1 that went bad. I did notice some improvement in the D2 over the D1, for example, during navigation, it'll display at the top of the screen which lanes you can be in. (sometimes only right lane exits, sometimes two lanes exit). Also, the D2 is much faster with repetitive presses on the touch screen.

The installation for me wasn't as simple as the other reviewer mentioned, because I installed the Vehicle Speed Sensor wire which meant that I had to run a wire behind my speed gauge. The reverse signal wire was really easy because I was installing subwoofers and my trunk was already exposed.

Thing to remember during installation: If you vehicle has a factory amplifier (such as my Acura CL typeS's bose amp) and you decide to use the pre-amp RCA output of your D2 and going into the factory harness, you will hear a lot of alternator noise. Ground Loop Insulators will attone the noise, but as I found out are not the most reliable components as they eventually broke down and my speakers started cutting out.
Using the amplified signal with the factory amp will cause a really annoying humming noise even if the unit is off. (the amp is always on in the D2 even if you switch the source to off)
The solution for me was to either buy a 4 channel amp and new speakers all around, or a cheaper alternative which I opted for was to bypass the factory amp and use the D2's amplification.

I also have and XM NavTraffic unit which I strongly recommend if NavTraffic is available in your area, and you travel a lot on highways. I don't listen much to XM, I usually stick to my mp3s.

I had a CD-IB100II hooked up, but I absolutely hated it. After a few weeks, I decided to remove it. The interface is very poor, you only get 1 line with 8 characters of text displayed. Changing between artists is slow, as the unit takes a long pause after every 2 or 3 button presses.
The solution I found was to buy an iPod to RCA adaptor. I have 3 RCAs i connect in the inputs of the D2. With the adaptor wired in my center arm rest, I can control the iPod with it's interface making browsing a breeze (browsing is on the iPod's screen, nothing shows in the D2's screen). In Addition, I can now play videos from my video iPod on the D2's screen. [very cool stuff].

Easiest navigational unit I have ever installed. There is NOT a hideaway "brain" on this unit. Total install time was 90 minutes. I am not a certified installer, but I have installed numerous complete systems.

The unit itself is very easy to use. I actually didn't even have to use the manual to figure out how to get places. The EQ system is one of the best I have ever seen; it is comparable to a separate EQ system.

Overall, besides the inability to play DVD's without a separate player / changer, this is the best navigation unit on the market in it's pricerange.
