might be getting one but the guy im getting it from say's it doesint play dvd's.... will it play music video's? ive tryed looking ive seen them on youtube playing music video's so my question is it won't play dvd's but will play music video's?

 

it doesnt play dvds. u have to add an external dvd source like a ps2 slim. i've dont it on mine but it kills alot of battery and such a hassle to power and insert the disc so i decided to just grab a d3. dont get a d1/d2. just save and get a d3.

 

so it wont play music video's at all?

 

lol 26 view's and no feedback?

 

i thought i replied... no it wont play music videos. on music cds.

 

ok thats all i wanted to know thanks alot !

 

what about the Pioneer AVIC-F90BT any good? and were can i get a plug and play harness for it i don't rele feel like wireing everything im lazy

 

The load time on the F90BT can be painful. It depends on what you are using to play music. USB and SD are the slowest to load. I hear iPod is better. CD is good only a few seconds.

I don't know if anyone makes a pre-wired harness for the F-Series. It is only about 20 wires.

I even did a write up on how to install a F90BT in a tC for anther user who requested it.

 

im good with wireing radio's and system's etc.. just seeing if there was a pnp kit lol but id be putting the music video's on a cd

 

Hey I understand, I almost had someone install this for me because I didn't want to do it plus I thought I was hard to do.

But take a look, I think you will see it is really easy.

Another thing is I hear Eclipse is coming out with a new 8" touch screen unit soon.

 

what do u guys think of the pioneer avh-p3100dvd or something like that?

 

the avh p3100 is pretty nice and very well equipped. but for me if im going to change my hu i rather go a little bit further and have the navigation.

 

yeah i was thinking the same. I dont even know why I want the ahvp3100. My hu right now is fine. haha.

 

lol i dont even care about the navi thats what mapquest is for

 

True! So why get a new hu? Just for looks?

 

to play music video's i wouldint mind a navi with it but mainly to play music vid's

 

yea but you cant watch while driving, unless u do that little bypass hack thing which makes it super dangerous

 

Well the bypass also allows you to work the GPS while moving. Something which is nice if you are looking for a gas station or something on a road trip.

But watching videos while driving is a bad idea.

I know with my F90BT I am not very happy with how it plays videos. Choppy at times and froze the system up for about 30 secs when I played one video. I have not toyed around with it to see if ripping them differently improves responsiveness. The web site I was reading made it sound like it does improve, but I just didn't take the time to re-rip my videos.

 

Yeah, LIke i want a new hu, like the pioneer avhp3100. but then for what? I cant even watch movies while i drive, cuz its so dangerous! and how often will i sit in my car and watch a dvd?

I'm very interested in teh idea that it can play music off usb, but that's it.

 

It is pretty cool to have, but that is about it. I show my friends and they think it is really cool and then ask if I use it. Then I tell them no.

I do watch TV on it when I am waiting for friends and such. I can't get reception when the car is moving (probably a good thing) but I do get to catch up on the weather or news.
