would love to hear about the fit, operation, looks, etc. of the unit once you get it installed.

 

Yeah I'll write a review about it. Love the fact it has bluetooth. Saw Pionner at my local mall got a free themo-coffee cup.. Says pioneer navigation on it...

 

It has bluetooth but I think I read somewhere that you will need an add-on accessory for it to funtion.

Have you demoed it yet?

I had thoughts of just buying today but I would like to demo it before dropping that much on it and also I might be able to get a big discount on mine but im not too sure.

 

omg. This is awesome. It's either the Avic-Z1, or the Eclipse AVN6600.

 

that deck is hella nice. mann...so many things to get, and only so much money to spend at a time, lol.

 

I agree with you here. For the accessories on the AVIC-Z1 I've already spend over
$800 ( backup camera, XM Nav traffic, 5.1EQ, EQ controller ) I'm still looking for
the bluetooth adapter unit. I've ordered my unit already hope it gets here soon

 

I think I'll get the Eclipse AVN6600 instead. Mainly for ease of installation, and that fact that I can get it for $1600 installed.

 

i'll be going for the Z1 with iPod adapter, XM w/traffic, bluetooth, and an aux input adapter. i figure i'd hook up the aux input to the oem aux input location inside the armrest plus the adapter only costs $40. do you daisy-chain these add-ons (if you have more than one) to the head unit using the ip-but in/outs. any idea if there's a limit to the number of devices that can be added?

 

Too bad the AVN-6600 Doesn't have bluetooth.. IMO i find it a necessity for me.

 

And then she will buy a 2500 Luis Vuitton bag and tell you it was 500, lol.

Regard teh AVIC, saving starts now!!!

Sounds like my sister, I bought my wife a Louis Vutton handbag for @ $2200
my co-worker immediately asked "what they the heck did you do?"

Anyways back to topic.
AVIC-Z1 is now are available on ebay from $1799 -> $1900 which isn't bad
just have to becareful. Most retailers are still selling it @ $2250(MSRP) just because
it's suppose to be a hot cake.

By the way have anyone seen the ND-BT1 bluetooth adapter accessory avaliable ?
I'm having a tough time looking for it.

 

I just got this link in my email guys....even though I've decided on a carPC, I still like this Z1


The Z1 for $1699 with under $20 for shipping.

Here you go man... http://www.savinglots.com/lotprod.asp?item=NDBT1

 

$2,000?? It's not that nice.. My clarion 6.5" motorized screen, dvd/mp3 player, and tv tuner barely came to over $1,000..

navigation isn't worth that much.

 

Obviously you would say that but think about it this way. How much are OEM navis worth like BMW... Acura... ect. Most go for over 2k. But these navis dont come with the 10 GB harddrive that you can store music on with another 20gb to store the 11 million points of interest... or the DVD player that does indeed play on this unit itself.

Not to mention (but I will anyway ) it just came out. In a few months prices will drop to about $1600.

The only competition it has is the Eclipse and what the msrp on that?

So maybe to you the navigation is not worth it but thats why Pioneer was not targeting consumers like you. ;)

 

any suggestions for a carputer w/ touchscreen?

 

i know im goin lil off topic here..but i found this unit from CLARION MAX675VD
coming soon. i read abt this unit in some magazine...its not one of the best but it looks pretty good..

Dealers rip you off with navigation systems, that doesn't really change my mind about this being overpriced also..

And about the last sentence.. Yes, I'm glad pioneer wasn't targeting customer's who already had a TV/DVD/MP3/TV-Tuner, they probably wouldn't have much luck.. ????

The built in HD is cool and ahead of it's day, that's probably why they're raping people on the price.

 

I have these for sale 6 total for 1800.00 shipping included.. Retail price is 2249.00 I will ship these usps priorty service. if you are local you can pick this up from me for 1750.00 cash. call if interested 951 415 5979. Mike.

 

mike, have you heard if the nd-bt1 bluetooth adapter is out yet? a couple people (and myself) have wondered how to get it. tnx
