No issues and easily installed. Nice install all the way and I'm no expert to be sure. The Nav Traffic tuner works great. thanks.
The only think I don't like about it that it's an extra charge with XM and some of the information is dated (ie. Coming home from that same trip, it alerted me that traffic was slow ahead and asked to reroute. road closures that I knew were no longer closed, but listed on the screen).
I said yes, and it diverted me onto a highway I didn't even know existed and cut my travel time down an hour or so. Overall, if you own a pioneer navigation system - you might as well get it. I purchased this unit with my Pioneer AVIC-N4 and it seems to do the job pretty well.
I looked across the river and saw a severe traffic jam. The flashing red/yellow/green lines on congested roadways is very helpful. The first time I used it, I was driving and noticed that the route I was going to take (across the East River) was blinking red.
It's worth it.
Rick made the product look bad instead of the seller. I give it a 5 since the product does not deserve a 1 star from Rick. Uncool :Cheers
Sometimes the alternative is worse, because the unit doesn't know "speeds" off the highway, so if you choose to avoid, you may get in a worse traffic jam. However, it is much better with the highway information. As far as the XM, reception is good, some channels at times sound like a 56kbps mp3, but most of the time it's good.
And also if highway traffic is slow, and you have a router programmed, the unit will ask if you wish to go around the traffic jam. Also, it sometimes doesn't get artist and song title information. I have this unit, with a Pioneer AVIC-D2 headunit.
Now it just says "Accident, next quarter hour" but come back in 30 minutes and you still have the exact same message up on the screen. I use it for both XM and NavTraffic. I have to admit that NavTraffic's incident report isn't always very up to date, and I really wish they would write WHEN the event occured.
I'm not sure if this is the unit's fault or xm's.I would definitly buy this unit again, especially with NavTraffic.
I was able to return the D2, but the GEX-P10XMT and the iPod kit are not returnable. I decided that I'd return the items because I needed to get an alternative gift before Christmas and I didn't have time to find another way to get it installed. It turns out that Amazon brokered my sale to three other companies that have differing return policies. Hello,I purchased the AVIC-D2, XM and the iPod kit from Amazon. After 3.5 hours they failed. Had I realized that Amazon would sell me something that I can't return I would have purchased elsewhere. I then went to my local installer and confirmed with them that they could install all three devices and still allow my factory rear entertainment center to function in the new setup. At this point I will never purchase anything else from Amazon ever again.
