Default Eclipse AVN 6620 VS... of course the Avic-D3

What do you guys think? I'm going to get it around January but wanted everyone's input. Please post pictures of your 6620 or D3.

Thanks

Yes sir. But from what I heard the new Z3 and the F series is having problems... so I don't know. I'm leaning more towards the D3

As i live in europe...i havent got much knowledge about Eclipse. I do, however, have frst hand knowledge about most other 2-DIN units that are sold here

The D3 is now discontiniued...and, in europe at least, is now called F900. And most importantly the navi is HD-based..not DVD as the D3.

i would choose eclipse due to the similarity between the ones used by Lexus. All of the functions on eclipse are basically, identically the same.

i have the 6600 and will be upgrading to 6620 in a couple of weeks, and w/ 6620 you can also get the front view camera + bt phone function. so basically the same as the lexus lx570... gl

i've had the 6620 for about 6 months now. No problems whatsoever. I'm very pleased with the looks, reliabliltiy and sound quality. The navigation has worked flawlessly and is very user friendly.

I have a thread about my install somewhere...............

I actually really like the D3, the only thing that bugs me is that you need to cd to activate the navi, but whatever the d3 looks badass

I love the D3, except for the fact that it needs the Cd for Nav...other than that it is a sweet unit.
