I have had a Pioneer AVIC-D1 for a while now and I finally want to add a DVD player. I have been trying to figure out which one to get, but I cannot tell with most of them that I see for sale what the connections are like and if they will be compatible with the D1.
Can anyone recommend a DVD player for my D1 that is cheap but sure to work and be compatible? I don't need or want anything great, I just want it to work and to play movies. I don't need any bells and whistles.
Thanks a lot.

That means like a $650 unit. I asked the same question of Pioneer and they said:
"Thank you for contacting Pioneer Electronics, Inc.
The only DVD player in the Pioneer line will connect to your navigation is the XDV-P6. If you need more information please go to the following link:
https://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Products/CarAudioVideo/Accessories/CDChangers/XDV-P6"
The HU at this point is probably only worth like $300. I was hoping for something in the $100-$200 range. Over that, and I start to not care or want it enough.

Any DVD player with a compsite video output will work with your deck. Composite = Single Yellow RCA jack.

I want the HU to control the DVD player as well, though. Plus the AVIC-D1 does not have a composite input. See diagram of the rear connections attached (I hope).

The a/v in out plug on the top right of your diagram is where the composit in goes. Only the pioneer unit will let the D1 controll it.

I knew it had the capability of the Composite video. I learned today that there may be a wire you have to insert into the power plug. Paid can you confirm this. I know you have to move the mute wire on the D3 but I am having trouble finding out what wire needs to be added to the power harness on the D1. Could it be the GREEN/ Parking Brake wire??

This is the link to the wiring on the d1. Page 17 shows the composite input. I don't ever remember having to move anything on the power harness. I think you just plug it in, no tricks. All the rca in's are in that second plug. https://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pio/pe/images/portal/cit_11221/239522421AVICD1InstallationManual.pdf
