Pioneer AVH-P4000DVD?
I love the avid-d3, but since I already have the OEM nav, it would be a waste of money. I saw the AVH-P4000DVD in the catalog, but cant seem to find much info on it otherwise. It seems like it has all the features of the avic, minus the nav. Does anyone know about it? Is it a worthy replacement for the avic?
Thanks
Thanks

I've been looking at this unit also. I don't think it has been released yet. But not 100% sure bout that. I also have the stock nav and like the idea of not having a motorized screen. Just one more thing to break in my opinion. I'm going to play with it a bit in the store and see if I think I'll like it. Was also comparing it to the Kenwood DDX512. Let me know if you get this and what you think.

It's a base line Kenwood with a smaller screen and front load with no motorized screen. I'm all about the front loads. No plastic motor parts to break.

Question guys. I was looking at the AVH-P4000DVD myself and the pioneer site doesnt list this unit as one that would fit our cars... is this not accurate? I rather not get a flip up screen... one more thing to go wrong.

Good to know $500 sounds better than $1000 for the higher end double din from pioneer
Edit - looking at the back of this thing from the pio website I am wondering how you are going to connect everything? In the install guide it looks like you have to give up your rear speakers if you want a sub. Maybe I am missing something?

Ok, so I got the 4000 installed today along with some goodies (BT, Sirius, and a BOYO backup camera). Its basically the exact same thing as the Avic, without the navigation and half the price! (and sadly, I dont think you can upload custom backgrounds either ) Interface is awesome, just like the AVIC! I love it. Works perfectly with a Z, everything hooks up, no problems. Only problem I experianced is the fact they my a/c doesnt work. ****ing installer messed it up. Hope its not hot until tuesday... Oh, and of course I got the ebrake bypass too Here it is:

By the way, did they figugre out how to keep the OEM nav voice function?

Yah, someones getting their **** ripped tuesday. And I dont think so, I never have that on anyways (it annoys the **** out of me, the OEM nav was built for retarded people) so I never even thought of that.

(see how corners are 90 degree angles and not curved like the dash opening?) thats how the 03-05 kit looks.
