Summary: Good Stuff!
Comment: I purchased this unit with my Pioneer AVIC-N4 and it seems to do the job pretty well. 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. I looked across the river and saw a severe traffic jam.

Coming home from that same trip, it alerted me that traffic was slow ahead and asked to reroute. 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.

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. road closures that I knew were no longer closed, but listed on the screen).

Overall, if you own a pioneer navigation system - you might as well get it. It's worth it.

Summary: navTraffic is worth it!
Comment: I have this unit, with a Pioneer AVIC-D2 headunit. 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. 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. However, it is much better with the highway information. 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. 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.

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. Also, it sometimes doesn't get artist and song title information. I'm not sure if this is the unit's fault or xm's.

I would definitly buy this unit again, especially with NavTraffic.

Summary: Review of Amazon process, not the product
Comment: Hello,

I purchased the AVIC-D2, XM and the iPod kit from Amazon. 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. After 3.5 hours they failed.

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. I was able to return the D2, but the GEX-P10XMT and the iPod kit are not returnable. It turns out that Amazon brokered my sale to three other companies that have differing return policies. Had I realized that Amazon would sell me something that I can't return I would have purchased elsewhere. At this point I will never purchase anything else from Amazon ever again.
