I love how they say that iPod control can be only attained by purchasing their cable.  All you have to do is plug the original iPod USB charger in the USB port and it controls it just fine.

The only thing that's missing is the GPS....but I already have one and it would have added another $150-$300 depending on where you get it.

It's also $1200 assclown. 4x as much as my purchase. I aint tryin' to spend that much.

If that's the case then you should have bought this car instead:

i was lookin at that model but kinda like my xtra slot for cd's so i looked into the single din ones with the fip out screen but then the screen would cover the vents for heat or ac when its out so i remain undecided leaning more for the double din model you got tho.  Let me know how u like it after a couple weeks.

I wanted the dbl din since the stock radio was a double din.  I didn't want to have to deal with getting the single din install kit. 

I can tell you off the bat that this is a very nice stereo. The wife and I went to best buy with our ipod touch and the usb charger and tested it at the store.  Controls are very responsive, it has a search function which includes artist, genre, song etc etc.  It also shows album art on screen.  The best part is, it has a button that will relinquish control back to the ipod and still play the music making for easier navigation if you want it.

I did have a sirius subscription, which could be set up with this unit (with the satellite accessory) but I am opting out of the pay radio game.  Besides, the exclusive content is what I wanted anyway and I know how to get that.

The only thing I wish it had was a nav system.  But I have a tomtom for that and it would cost a heck of a lot more to have that included.

I wouldn't consider it a stone, in this instance more like a brick. But to each its own.

Maybe I don't someone trying to one up me.  I posted about a product that I am happy purchasing and I don't need you to tell me that I should of bought something better. 

There are a lot of things I could say here but I'ma keep my mouth shut.

It's wasn't even a comparable product.

BTW, my old Kenwood DNX7100 has the same features as that one you posted.

Nice purchase Decepticon.... I got my Pioneer AVIC D3 last year (I think)... Got Best Buy to price match another store that was going out of business and selling off all their stock.  The guy also made sure I got the bluetooth adapter free with it also, otherwise I would have objected purchasing anything at Best Buy.

Im sure you'll enjoy it though... Make sure you do the brake bypass so you can watch vids while driving!!!  I just drove 8 hours to St. Louis and watched movies the whole way!

Yeah, I added a 12v relay to the parking brake line, ground and remote device power line so when I turn the car on it automatically ground-positive-grounds so it bypasses it.  I wish I would have gotten the BT addon but I didn't get it from Best Buy.  They wanted $450 and I bought it from an Amazon dealer for $309.00.  I couldn't pass up that deal.  But yeah, this is gonna be great on long trips.

Main reason I got it was the ipod support.  Got rid of Sirius and now I just 'get' my Stern Shows on my iPod.  And man it sounds damn good even on the Versa stock speakers.

The radio in my Gran Prix is craptastic....I might have to look into something like this. Can it tie into the controls on the steering wheel or do you have to use the native controls on it?

There is a kit to convert your steering wheel controls:

Not bad. My Nissan one was way more expensive if I remember correctly.
