Yeah I really wished it came with nav; makes the interior look much higher end.

I know that the 40th has hand free bluetooth, but was wondering if it supports bluetooth music streaming?

I believe only the nav models support bluetooth streaming. Down side of the nav is you loose the "aux" port.

Just echoing what others have said, love the color combo and the rareness. There is only one other 40th in the Memphis area, that I'm aware of.

As far as the navi goes, I already have two devices that will tell me where to go (3 if I count the ex-wife), adding another was not a big attraction for me. I'd rather have the cubby-hole for ma shades

Just turned 20,000 miles. Have done 5 oil changes, but have had no issues with the car. I bought one of these windshield sun shades ( Covercraft Car Sun Shades - 3260+ Reviews on Covercraft Custom Windshield Sun Shades - UV Shield, Heat Shield ) and use it all the time, since the car sits outside. And I got the darkest legal window tint. I'm not sure how susceptible the red seats are to fading, but I'm not taking any chances of having pink seats.

it is not just nav, it is a touch screen, CD-DVD player with a 9GB hard drive and multiple different ports for plug ins. You could even plug in a playstation or xbox if you really wanted.

not to mention the main thing as many others have stated - interior looks much better

Ding! I probably use the nav function the least.

come to think of it…..only time I use it, is when I don't know where I am going

what a thought/concept having the technology available when and where you need it

The picture of the crunched 40th made my heart drop. Love my 40th, huge fan of the red interior. Sometimes I wish I had NAV+video, sometimes I wish the exterior showed a little more contrast, the idea of getting a base model and modding the **** out of it sounds fun, but ....

My favorite thing about the 40th is that I'm done, it is great as it is. Other people are buying wheels, seats, wraps, etc, my car is a unique conversation piece as is...If it was AWD, I would never need another car.

Please don't post more crunched 40th's!!!

If only you came to this meeting you would understand why

My40thZ · 06-05-2014, 08:06 AM

I love my car i love on an island off the gulf coast of Florida. i get offers left on my car to buy it almost daily. the color and rarity of the model makes it unique. People swear i modified the car and ask what it is, while the badgeing is clearly still on the car and no visible mods have been done. I just bought a nav system from someone in the forums i really wish the car had it originally but now i have a stock nav system coming in. Im toying with lambo doors to really show off that red interior. i add the titanium shift knob to give the inside some flare along with all interior lights upgraded to red leds. i recommend the purchase of the red GTR button and GTR clear lens for the over head lights. the interior is durable. to be honest i live in a very prominent and wealthy area. My Z gets a lot of love despite all the exotics that drive around. my neighbor has a V10 Viper and loves to drive my car more than his car. i want to darken my tail lights and head lights. still toying with the idea of new rims. its a great car a real head turner and some great eye candy. my Fiance loves my car. She owns a BRZ Limited i think secretly she wants to be a Z owner too hahaha.
