Double DIN In-dash 5.8" TFT-LCD Touchscreen Monitor with Built-in GPS Navigation, Built-in Bluetooth Hands-Free Technology, DVD, DivX, CD, MP3 Receiver, Direct USB to iPod A/V Cable, SD Card and 3.5mm Aux Inputs
We all know that the Pioneer AVIC-D3 was a great product. What could ever replace Pioneer's AVIC-D3? The feature-packed AVIC-F series in-dash navigation will certainly be this outstanding replacement and much, much more for many years to come!
Integration
Integration is a crucial element to the AVIC-F Series design, just like the old AVIC-D3. The front-panel is an entirely new look with a much more minimalistic and upgraded look. Users are given the choice of 32,768 customizable illumination colors, allowing this double DIN receiver to integrate into any dash seamlessly.
HDD Navigation
Where the AVIC-D3 failed, the AVIC-F units will triumph. The AVIC-D3's obsolete DVD-based GPS navigation system has been replaced by an all new hard drive based GPS software that holds over 12 million points of interest. No more shuffling navigation discs, no more stopping or pausing your music! Users will also experience a much smoother and faster response system while navigating since everything has already been preloaded onto the hard drive. In addition, the built-in navigation is at an "always-on" power state that is always ready to go when you are.
Bluetooth, iPod, USB, and... what more can you ask for? Oh yeah, Satellite and HD Radio!
The AVIC-F90BT, AVIC-F900BT, and the AVIC-F700BT all have built-in Bluetooth technology that allow users to make hands-free phone calls with caller ID and call status displayed on the screen. You won't have to buy any additional accessories or add-ons. It is also capable of controlling any iPod audio or video sources through its USB port that supports other media devices that contains AAC, MP3, and WMA files.
The AVIC-F units all feature an SD Card Reader, USB port and RCA audio/video auxiliary inputs. In addition, all AVIC-F series will be able to receive Sirius or XM Satellite Radio and HD Radio with additional accessories.
Conversational Voice Command
Last but not least is the unique voice control technology built-in each of the AVIC-F units. You can now control what music you want to play without even the push of a button. You could simply say "Play artist Chris Brown" and it will play all songs with that artist. In addition, you could likewise do the same for hands-free dialing. What's unique about the voice command feature is its ability to decipher pausing words or fill-in words such as "ummm, uhhh... the uhhhh..." It will still recognize names even if you say "Call uhhh Alison" If phonebook entry Alison has more than one number, the AVIC-F unit will ask "Found three numbers for Alison, which would you like to dial?" It's almost like a SCIFI movie or something from iRobot. This breakthrough feature will definitely impress you and everyone else riding in your car!
Special for the AVIC-F90BT and AVIC-F900BT
The AVIC-F90BT features the innovative built-in MSN Direct receiver which could display traffic information, movie times, weather, and much more! It is capable of receiving data for most major US cities and will display corresponding information on the screen. You'll never be late to a movie again, you'll always be able to avoid traffic jams, and you'll always know what to expect from the weather on your next road trip!

Review written by D from New York, NY
Great idea, but horrible execution. Miserable user interface. Tons of lag when using map features, HD radio add-on is disgracefully bad (both sensitivity and UI), annoying beeps that can't be turned off.. basically everyone who gets in my car makes fun of my radio after trying to use it for 2 minutes.
I've owned a number of Pioneer products in my life, and they were all great. Not this one.
Avoid.

Review written by john from marietta, GA
After searching the internet and questioning audio shops this particular unit stood out as the best in class. Installtion took about 4 hours at a qualified shop, so I would not attempt to do it yourself. Besides slow start up this unit performs as advertised. The improvement in sound over an already high end unit was very noticeable. Learning curve is a little steep, but after a few days of "playing" around you catch on.

Review written by Bob from North Hollywood, CA
I was a bit guarded when I purchased this item, it's sold as Pioneer and Premier with a few minor differences. Yes it is at time a bit slow at responding to commands. Don't buy it for VR (Voice Recognition) as that aspect is over rated. It does work but not to the extend that one would expect or see on ads from Pioneer. Most units should now hat the 2.0 firmware upgrade, if you don't have this be sure to visit Pioneer and download it. I was disappointed with the MSN as it only works in the city you register the unit. Thus if you travel you won't get full use of this function. The signal is first rate and drives my speakers clearly. While it sounds great using the built in amp I used a Premier 4 channel class D amp to drive my front and rear separates. Sound quality is excellent. IPOD functions well but you'll need to use Itunes to have Album work displayed, other programs such as Media Monkey seem to have tagging problems and don't allow Album work to show on this unit. CDs and DVDs look excellent on the screen. Most back up cameras will also work well with this unit. I choose to have the BU camera come on when ever the car is in reverse. I don't like the shinny black finish and would prefer the non shinny look which comes on the non-DVD CD only unit. While you can use the same harness as a Pioneer D3 which this unit replaces you'll have to change a few of the wires. The GPS antenna is also different and that will need to be re-routed. HD radio works well when it works but don't get your hopes up if you want to change from Sat radio as HD does not work that well all the time, especially in fringe areas.

Sound quality... great
Navigation...great
Bluetooth...great
Start up time..ok
Voice commands...terrible (total crapshoot)
All in all i would do it again. As for the voice commands, just pretend it doesn't accept voice commands and you will be very happy.
