370Z 40th Anniversary Edition

Equinox

I bought a 41k Nismo and put a 1k nav in it, that plays DVDs, so I don't see the problem here. If the 40th anniv edition is anything like the nismo, and it sounds like it is, it will come with a double DIN radio that is modular and easily replaced. problem solved.

.........and if done right, the sound quality will exceed the factory system.

the only thing i don't like about the after market systems is that it can't sit where the center console glove box sits. I also like the fact that the climate control switch and display are more integrated in the factory model.

While i'm sure most people with aftermarket double dins decks have no problem tilting their heads more down than the factory display (for Nav, movies, or whatever pretty pictures)....i'm not sure if everyone here can say the same, but I like my display as close to the road I'm looking in front of me as possible. Less head movements, plus, as convenient the glove box is being where the factory display's located...i'm sure if someone could choose (whether if it's factory or aftermarket), they'd much rather have a display there instead of the glove box. Unfortunately, they don't make aftermarket decks with the LCD separated from the head unit itself. Otherwise, they could fit more buttons for the Navigation aspect instead trying to fit everything within the 7" double din dimension leaving most people to use the remote for aftermarket decks. If they have made such a sound system, I'd go with the aftermarket one without thinking twice.

But i have to agree that the aftermarket stereo is a much better bang for the buck compared to the factory NAV. At the same time, we all have to agree the factory NAV looks much better than any after market decks out there.

Sorry I went on and on about the Sound system of the car and deviated from the real topic of this thread, please don't flame me for expressing my opinion - i'm just sad Nissan won't let me order the car I want in US, they have it....just not in US

I have to say though, the 40th Anniversary Edition is a very nice looking car overall.

That's a good point about the location of an aftermarket unit with nav/DVD being lower in the console versus a factory nav ........ maybe a stock location stereo with a remote "heads up display"
