Pioneer AVIC X1R

325IAT · 11-01-2005, 01:18 PM

I tested the navi/DVD/CD player from Pioneer today. In Europe it's called AVIC X1R. It was an amazing machine.

Here's some info after testing.

It's a DVD based navigation, so you'll have to use the DVD that comes with the player. In Europe it has the maps of all European maps including points of interest for the whole of Europe. The layout was really good on the big screen (you can chose not to have the screen on - it will automatically fold inside itself). You can chose nightvision or dayvision. There's four different kinds of views, including birds eye view. Really good overview. The navi was fast, precise and worked in tunnels to.

The only problem with it being DVD based is that you have to plot in your adress and then take out the DVD if you wanna listen to a CD. Actually no problem if you have a CD changer or in my case, the iPod (why use CDs when you have an iPod with 6000 songs?).

This is the best part: It is iPod compatible. When you mount it you fit a cable from the back of the player to your glove compartment. Connect your iPod and you have full control of your iPod through the touchscreen. All the playlists and so on. Amazing.

You can also watch movies on this beauty.

I ordered one today and was told that there's no problem using the steeringwheel volume controls with this player. To mount you'll need the adapter cause the Pioneer is the standard 1 DIN size.

I will also have better sound in my car since the Pioneer has a more powerful amp than my normal system.

It's a beautiful player that does everything.

Except, in March 2006 the new model arrives, which is the same, only with bluetooth mobilephone compability.

Check it out!

I am thinking of buying the Avic X1R but I'm concerned about how it will look on the dashboard of the E90.

Does anyone have a picture of an installed avic ?

I've been thinking about that too. I'm a bit insecure if it will ruin the BMW class.

not sure about non idrive cars but i tought there was quite a few possible ajustement that where done through the stock radio component. ie. mpg or km/l, language etc etc. If so how would these changes be possible.

Again i'm not sure since i have idrive.

That info is on the driving computer. Not on the player.

i realize the info appears on the driving computer...but isn't there changes that can be made to settings via the missing component in the above pic.

i have owned a pioneer monitor like this before, the unit sticks out too much. alpine is better.

Yes, you're correct!
Fu&$%&%$&%!

What will happen if I remove the player?
Will the driving computer stop working?
