I found a great deal locally on a new Avic Z3, $750, and I was wondering if anyone on here has one. I really want an in-dash navi, I have an ipod, and was wanting the Kenwood DNX 8120, but this seams like a smoking deal. 10 gigs of internal music storage sounds cool, but only loading them from WAV format sound lame, as all my music is in mp3 format. Plus I hear the ipod controls on this unit suck. Any input?

 

I have the Z2 - It's the EXACT same thing.. except with a map upgrade.

Here is my Avic Z2 review

and if you don't feel like reading.. my suggestion is DO IT!

Thanks for your input! Nice review. How's the boot time on this unit? I know everyone complains about the boot time one the F90BT...

 

Boot time is MUCH better than the F series..

I can start my car, and then put on seatbelt.. and it will be booted before i get out the garage - 15 to 20 seconds...

 

boot time in the F series has gone quicker since the firmware upgrade. Its acceptable in both. F-series is cheaper (in general, but 750 is a great deal for a z3) and has different options(live update). I have the Z3 in the M3 and love it.
