If you have a double-sized 4" tall dash opening in your vehicle, think about filling it with Pioneer's AVIC-D1 CD receiver. It offers advanced, accurate GPS navigation, playback of your CDs, MP3s, and WMAs, touch-screen system control, and a big 6.5" screen — all in a package that fits perfectly in your dash.

To navigate, just slide the map DVD-ROM into its slot, then use the touchscreen controls to enter your destination. Enter a specific street address, an intersection, or choose from nearly 11 million points of interest, such as hotels, restaurants, and gas stations. As you drive, the map on the display shows you where you are and when you need to make your next turn. Voice prompts also assist, telling you exactly when you need to make a turn. Should you miss a turn, the system will recalculate your route automatically.

Two DVD-ROM discs include all the maps you'll need. Because the receiver is double-sized, it has room for two slots behind the fold-down faceplate: one for your CDs and one for the DVD-ROM disc. You won't have to remove the DVD-ROM to enjoy your music while the navigation system is working.

Add a compatible tuner (see Accessories) and subscribe to XM's innovative NavTraffic™ service, and you'll receive continuously updated traffic information in many major metropolitan areas. This includes traffic accident alerts, road closure info, plus the average speed of traffic on the roads along the route you're navigating. You'll be prepared for traffic snags well in advance, and can adjust your route accordingly.

The Roadside Assistance package lets you store emergency contact information and access it simply by pressing a single button. The screen shows you exactly where you are, including latitude and longitude readings, so you'll be able to direct emergency personnel. And Pioneer includes an offer for a year's worth of free roadside assistance service from a national auto club.

The AVIC-D1 is a great performer, too. It'll play your standard CDs, plus the MP3 and WMA files you've burned on disc. Its audio/video input lets you add an external DVD player, videocassette player, or game console, and enjoy video while you're parked. Pioneer's iPod™ interface adapter lets you play your iPod through the AVIC-D1, and control it using the touch screen. It'll also control a compatible XM or SIRIUS radio.

You can also have the AVIC-D1's screen display several of your vehicle's performance specifications, including acceleration, lateral G-force, and speed). It's a fun way to explore your car's capabilities.

A strong internal amplifier puts out plenty of power for a full, rich sound. And you can use the interactive touch-screen menus to adjust the extensive tone controls, so the sound is just right for your vehicle.

Note: Your dash must have a 4" opening for the AVIC-D1 to fit; the 3" openings found in some vehicles, especially GM and Chrysler, will not accommodate it. Please enter your vehicle information or call a Sales Advisor at 1-888-955-6000 to find out if this model is compatible with your vehicle.
