All General Discussion Readers: Do you use your CD player regularly?

CDs? Never!

Guys, if you have a Z without NAV, but do have Sattelite-ready radio, there is a simple and elegant option to get full music functionality from your iPod and/or iPhone. Do yourself a favor and look into getting a module from USA-Spec or a similar manufacturer.

The module was about $160 installed. It's a tiny box that is mounted behind your factory stereo. I had them run a cable w/ iPod connector to the center console.

The unit charges the iPhone/iPod, song and artist information are displayed on the head unit and it has worked seamlessly for over a year for me. Sattelite functionality IS retained - you don't lose it by going this route.

My only nitpicky complaint is that you can't skip tracks using the steering wheel controls (volume works fine).

Just throwing this out there.
