If the Z's NAV package is the same as the NAV package on my wife's 2012 Murano, I'm not impressed. Some nice features, to be sure, but I note that you only need to get a little rural before one gets the "you are entering an area where map data is incomplete". I don't get that on any of the navigation programs I use on my iPhone or iPad. The Murano's system has the same Bluetooth phone compatibility that I have on my 2011 Z with sport package. She doesn't use the iPhone dock connector for music...instead just uses the headphone jack connector (as do I in my Z) because it's quite a bit simpler.
Bottom line, I suspect an aftermarket system might be more comprehensive than the OEM, but the navigation app that I use on my iPhone or iPad (MotionX Drive) is free on the iPhone and $3.00 on the iPad.
