I am seriously thinking of swapping out the navigation head unit for the Pioneer AVIC-D1. If anyone has pics of this system installed in a C6 I would appreciate it very much if they can post them.

I don't think the Pioneer unit is available yet. I know that Pioneer had e-mailed me and said that it would be available sometime late May/early June.

The only thing I didn't care for was how they handled the trim ring-they used shinny ABS so I am going to fab up my own plate this weekend. The GPS antenna is hided in Targa/Roof Support and that's were the XM will go as well.
Please do post!! We are thinking of getting this done soon (I am Dan1Home's wife by the way)!!!

If you could post pics today that would be awesome, we are getting ready to have this installed asap. By the way, how much did you pay for the AVIC-D1, I have seen it as low as $1300 in some websites.
Is there a separate piece other than the AVIC-D1 and the GPS antenna that is needed for the GPS to work?

Did you start out with the GM NAVIGATION system or the 6 disk in dash unit? Does the Pioneer unit work with the heads up display?
If you had the GM NAV, is there an input in the back of the unit for a changer?

As promised here is the link to the pictures of the AVIC-D1 installed:
Sorry about the quality of the pictures, the flash was uncooperative!
The install looks way better than the pics!
AVIC-D1 Install
To answer the questions
1. No it does not show in the HUD
2. I had the Bose 6 disk changer
3. The 6 disk does not have an Aux Input
4. The unit requires the same module(s) and wiring as the Chevy Clavier(sp?) w/Bose
5. I can't answer whether the unit could use the GM/Onstar GPS Ant-but I would be surpised if it didn't-how many connectors can there be?
6. This was a semi-custom install so the price was high-the unit alone was 1599 retail and this was the second one they had done!

We have the GM nav but want to upgrade the head unit since we are upgrading our stereo and sound quality will be better. Will post pics and let you all know how it works when we are done!

I have another question for you -- I'm pretty sure of the answer, but I'd like someone who actually has one to confirm this -- does the D1 play DVDs?

That's a good question, and I must admit that I have not tried. I know the manual allows that a 2nd DVD player can be hooked up and DVD's played. I'll try tonight and see what happens.

I'm getting the AVIC-D1 installed today and the techs told me they are going to rig the unit to play DVDs (while the car is in motion) and they will install a dip switch so that I can use the Navigation while the car is in motion.
