As far as I can see, I would really like the built in iPod compatibility and the steering controls for Bluetooth. But after reading this forum I have seen many of you have installed aftermarket systems that do the same and even more. So do you guys think it's better to just skip the stock nav?
If the Z's NAV package is the same as the NAV package on my wife's 2012 Murano, I'm not impressed. Some nice features, to be sure, but I note that you only need to get a little rural before one gets the "you are entering an area where map data is incomplete". I don't get that on any of the navigation programs I use on my iPhone or iPad. The Murano's system has the same Bluetooth phone compatibility that I have on my 2011 Z with sport package. She doesn't use the iPhone dock connector for music...instead just uses the headphone jack connector (as do I in my Z) because it's quite a bit simpler.

Bottom line, I suspect an aftermarket system might be more comprehensive than the OEM, but the navigation app that I use on my iPhone or iPad (MotionX Drive) is free on the iPhone and $3.00 on the iPad.
