Just something I thought of, does anyone know if any systems have speed variable volume? (You know, the faster and more rpms you push, you music gets progressively louder. I had this in an older car, and it comes standard in the new 2010 oem navi.) Would be nice feature to have also.

Reaper, that would be a great idea! Adaptive audio for aftermarket head units! I know the Infiniti G convertible has it and it would be a great idea for the Z, especially the Z Roadster!!

I just want to mention that this is a feature of iTunes and your iPod not the head unit. You can use Genius playlists on any head unit you buy that supports the ipod and it's playlists. I use Genius playlists on my Kenwood 9140.

I would contacting a sponsor of the forum. Often times you will get a better price than even Amazon AND you will get support. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT: If you buy a Kenwood buy from an authorized reseller or you will not have warranty support. I believe this goes for pioneer as well, but I am not sure.

Thanks sig. I’m using the Genius mixes right now and love it! The new Avic takes this idea a little further by having an animated 3D sphere interface. My playlist can be accessed from a section of the sphere which can be rotated up, down, left and right with a slight touch of the screen. I think it will be a quicker and easier method of selecting my generated playlists. I saw it on you tube and it looks fantastic!

I did want to add one comment about Amazon. When you buy something from Amazon that is sold by Amazon, you never have any problems with returns for whatever reason. No hassles or restocking fees. They will even send you a free return shipping label. I love that kind of reassurance when buying anything!
