Ordering a 2012-any advice?

The Z nav is honestly the best factory nav I have used. I highly recommend it if you can afford it.

Its a great feeling to pick up your car fully equiped and ready to go. Plus IMO nothing looks more flush than the factory nav package....it really completes the interior quite nicely.

IMO I would opt for the aftermarket radio/nav unit and save the money. You are able to get better sound and sound control with and aftermarket head unit. shop around and you will find a radio that has all the same features, but the sound quality is tops. I went with a Kenwood DNX 9960 for my SUV. For what the dealer is going to charge you for a NAV unit you can outfit the car with better aftermarket radio, amp, speakers, and sub.

On the other hand having the fatory radio/nav is also a nice feature due to the fact that you don't have to part with your vehicle while they install.

I just ordered a 2012 NISMO Z and this is the aftermarket system I was looking to purchase:

1) Kenwood DNX 9980HD $1,800.00 radio
2)Alpine PDX-5 $600.00 amp
3)Boston Acoustics SR60 $300.00 6-1/2 seperates for doors
4)Boston Acoustics S35 $60.00 3-1/2 2-way for the rear
5)Wicked CAS 370z Magic Box with sub $820.00 JL 13TW5

Total: $3,580.00 For superior sound quality and happiness.

Remember that my personal taste is high fidelity sound.... just the way I am.
