Hey guys!!

Thanks for the input..

Also special thanks to RON..will search out that "green and white" wire at the ECM and give it go.. thank you..I owe you a beer on your way through the LA area your next visit...Your kind instruction and pics where and are greatly appreciated

This is a dream to operate..it's really "stupid person" friendly... ...Have not done the DVD thing yet but passing through the learning curve now with the "search address" and remote..stuff...still pressing some wrong buttons alot..but the will figure it out, if I dont crash first.

I used the "address search" three times(not counting screwing around with it going to my house)

I am very familiar with GPS..having spent a Loooooong cold rainey nite on a Cous deer hunt in Ariz. 15 years ago lost!!
I appreciate these little instruments. I have added four
counting this one since that cold nite..I have a Lowrance and an Audiovox for the hiking and a DeLorme 4.0 with a laptop for off roading in strange places. This unit smokes them all, except that the Pioneer is not really suited for off road navigation as many of the roads going into "off road" country are not recorded on the CD. Its not really that big of a deal for me because I have the other GPS's What would really be cool is to have the user friendliness of the AVIC linked to the DeLorme style with a 3d set up and more detail. This would take more CD's but would make this "GIZMO" perfect....

Thanks again for all your help!!
