370Z Dashboard Gauges

Obviously, you never had a OEM navi system.

For one, Nissan is not going to make 2 sets of the Z. One with the clock and one without. They're gonna make the clock for all the Z's, and the Navi is added option.

Second, I have owned several cars with Navi/Tech package. In order to used the Navi, you have to press "ok" every time(It is pain in the butt). After a while, I just stop pressing it if I don't need to use it. Hence, you will not have the clock function. So, the clock up top is functional...IMO.

Additional note. The cars I've own are Toyotas and Acuras. They have 2 clocks and 2 sets of radio/cd player display. Hence, I don't have to turn on the navi if i wanted to used the cd player/radio. I don't know how it will go for the Z in that aspect.

KP technologies makes a bypass modual that allows you not to press the button.

I drive a new model G35 with the Navi right now the screen is much more than just a navigation system. The 370z looks like it is the same hardware so I am guessing it will operate in a similar way. All of the radio/status bits work without having to agree to an "ok" screen as well as the voice activated stuff. The "ok" screen only comes up when you enter the interactive menu (like to change setting or reset mileage after a fill up) or when you are actually using the navigation system itself. You can use the steering wheel mounted "enter" button to hit "ok" as well and don't actually have to reach out and touch the screen or center stack buttons. I rarely use anything except the steering wheel controls and most of the time I drive the car I never see the "ok" menu because I don't use the features that require it very often.

I have about 14k miles on the G and I believe the system has a fantastic interface. I see navigation itself as an overpriced, underused option, but all the stuff that comes with it is fantastic. I would gladly pay hundreds for the ipod integration and musicbox system even if there was no navigation. Actually, I seriously wish this was an option. The screen also fills the center stack out nicely and makes the 370z interior look a bit like an Infiniti which most people would consider a good thing.
