I want to sell my D3 and get an Avic F. I have the BT, USB, and Sirius. what I want to know is will the Sirius pr-n2 be compatible with the Avic f?

Are the wiring connections different---GPS Ant and handsfree mic?

 

GPS antenna is different, Sirius tuner should be compatible, not sure on the power harness

 

i heard the harness is backward compatible. have you checked avic411 dot com?

 

Yeah i get mixed info!

 

sirius will connect through the p-bus

the harness is different im pretty sure

 

Harness is different 100%

 

ditto on wiring being completely different, also make sure you get a F series with the absolute latest firmware updates, the F series have been plagued with issues from the start I think majority due to pioneer subcontracting the nav side to someone else on this model, and they hae been slowly corrected by a series of firmware updates. it will save you some headaches when using hte unit.

^^ You can also get the latest firmware update on www.pioneerelectronics.com as well as avic411. Just make sure you have a 512 meg+ SD card to use for updating.

And yes, I concur, all the wiring is different between the two decks.

 

Is it worth it?

 

I personally don't think so. Looking at what JVC and Kenwood both have to offer, the F90 is kind of poop.

 

Im on the fence really don't feel like disconnecting everything and having the hassel to sel it to get something to work thats already having problems. Thanks for the info I'll post agian if I do it!
