My new stereo.

*ICE*

nice man. I just installed the 5140 in my Z also. Lots better than my previous Pioneer Avic F700bt although the GUI is a little plain but the functionality is great. I also bought a backup camera and will install it later on.

Btw, anyone know how to get the video on your ipod play on this headunit? I was unable to get it to work.

I’m surprised you think the 5140 is better than the F700…………..one of the best features of the F700 is the iPod video playback! Maybe you didn’t upgrade the firmware to 3.0

well i figured out how to play the video on the 5140. And yes I am serious that the 5140 is better. Boot up is a lot faster. Ipod connection never disconnect. I remembered about twice a week, when I turn on the car in the morning, the Ipod would never connect to the unit, I'd have to disconnect and reconnect it again for it to work. Also, the video would never play when you start it on F700, it would take about 2-3 minutes to play, on the 5140, it plays instantly.

The Garmin maps GUI might not looks as pretty as the iGo map on the F700 but the navigation functionality is pretty much spot on and always correct.

Did you install the latest firmware? It was slow with the 2.0, but the 3.0 made a significant difference.
I have the Kenwood in my Explorer and it is a great HU, but the Pioneer does have a better GPS. I always preferred the TeleAtlas over Garmin.

Google GPS maps will someday be available in HU's and they will probably be the best.
