2011 Touring w/sport Bose system upgrade question

The metra kit works well and very affordable. The oem part is like $200. Honestly, I would go for the one with nav if that's what you really want. Everything is integrated and the screen position is much better for the nav. Aftermarket decks can be had that outperform the oem's, but the factory stuff just looks cleaner IMO. Just as the car designer intended. Sorry I couldnt be more help.

Also, if I have read correctly.. the OEM nav unit will let you access a few more things.

I agree with you 100%- Im hoping that car is still available. AND the resale value would be better with stock nav. I see you are on LI- where did you get your Z?

I got it from Advantage Nissan in Westbury, but that was before I knew about this site. Koeppel Nissan is a forum sponsor in the Tri-State area. They might be able to find the car for you without getting ripped-off. Send them a PM, it doesn't hurt to ask. Also, do some searching on the site for what others have paid (usually close to invoice), if you haven't already. If you want to meet other Z owners on LI, there is a weekly meet in Great Neck.
