Its an option though. I'm sure you can get them dealer installed and have them look the way they are OEM .

its good to hear that there are some dealers willing to do the custom work, but i decided to go with aftermarket nav

as soon as i get my illuminated kick plate, Ill go straight toward dealer

I definteily think I'll be picking up some Kickplates to install over the winter while she sleeps

I love the factory nav that came with my 40th, even if I don't use Nav that much, the Z Nav is actually way better than my wife's BMW version and I like the USB interface and car info and stats you can pull from the Nav system

I agree the Z navigation and technology is amazing compared to that of other car brands. Its interface is great. I love it and it complements the interior of the Z extremely well. One reason why I didn't get the 40th sitting on the dealer lot.. no navi

^^^ I agree - I think this was a corporate choice. Y? Your guess is as good as mine...

S'kay now - going aftermarket...

optiontrader · 10-03-2011, 01:18 PM

Yup, you do get shafted up there, judging from the prices - but you DO get NAV in return...

DarkPath · 10-03-2011, 03:06 PM

Apparently Navigation is a 10k up there... that being the only difference. I don't think Nissan ever expected us to be comparing product information.

To the guy who asked if it would be cost effective to bring a 40th down from Canada to get the Nav set up... Well, with this information now available, I leave it to you to answer your own question.

Exchange rate was about the same last year.

moto_italia · 10-03-2011, 05:14 PM

OK. So in looking up historical exchange rates (Historic Exchange Rates - x-rates), on July 1, 2009 the Canadian Dollar was 1.15096 for every 1 US Dollar. Not saying that's the exact date that Nissan established pricing for 2010 models, but if you take a $40,000 car in the US and multiply by 1.15096, you get a 46,038.40 car in Canada. So, if the 40th Anniversary Z cost 48,999 in Canada, then Nissan were in effect charging 2960.60 Canadian dollars for the NAV system, which was $2572.29 US Dollars.

I know this one for a fact because I almost bought a 40th ann. While they were being built. If you were willing to pay for extra features? They would have done it for extra cost. I inquired about a 40th manumatic and they said they would special order it for an extra fee. So all options were still possible with a markup.

Agree - it looks good, I would have opted for it, if it were available *cough, cough*.

But playing with an Alpine INA-W910 at a local BB on the way home, I think I know what I'm upgrading to...
