Is an adapter expensive? From what I've read a lot of people hate the bose system. If I got the nav I would like to keep all interface aspects and the awesome OEM look but change out the speakers.

The position of aftermarket navs was also a concern to me. I don't find it safe having to look down to view the map.

Anything else that an after market DDin would do better than the stock OEM nav? can you BT music from an iphone or would you have to USB it?

If I was buying a brand new 2011 370Z I would choose one without the Nav package... As you know aftermarket offers much better solutions with much less limitations.

If i was buying a USED 370Z I would get the one with better price and mileage, and if it came with Nav great... You can still work with the stock system... There are adapters you can get for Back up cam etc... And if you want to build a system you can still use high-end processors and get great sound out of the stock radio.

At the end if you have to dish out the $2800 out of pocket... DO NOT DO IT...

Yes schoche makes an adapter if you want to add a aftermarket head unit to the bose system.

Yes re-q qould allow you to add new amps to power new sepakers if you wanted however you will not be able to use the bose system to power new speakers as bose has strange OHMS for their speakers.

Lots of people were concerned about looking down to see a map however with voice directions they really do not look down "this includes AK"
