Yes things are fine, and it had nothing to do with the AVIC. There was no battery drain. What happened was the installation triggured the security immobilizer. I had to reset it, which was a pain, but that's all. Everything is fine with the AVIC.

Now that being said, unless it is a matter of dollars, I'd buy the new generation and not the D3. The screen is much improved, and the GPS data disc doesn't have to live in the CD drive.

If dollars are primary then I'd say I'm very happy with the AVIC. Good sound, lots of functions (half of them silly and useless though), not very easy to use. But quite an upgrade to the car and looks great. I love the iPod features that allow you to bury your iPod for life and use the main screen for all controls.
