Tesla Style head unit is being looked into...

[Zed-Leppelin]

Hey folks....

I posted in here a while ago concerning replacing the stock radio and head unit in my 2015z with a tesla style unit. After some research and looking through other threads on here, I saw where some folks came pretty close to doing it...but no success.

So I turned to the wizard (Google) and asked the same question...
"Is there a tesla style head unit for a 370z?" and after some research...

I found a company in Arizona that makes these style head units for OTHER vehicles...seems like the Mustang and Ford trucks are big in their product catalog...but no 370z's.

So I reached out to the owners' of the store and told them that if they came out with a Tesla Style unit for the 370z, it would be well received and they stand a chance of selling a few ( a lot) of these things.

They responded and asked for some info of my vehicle, model, make, pictures, etc... and that they would look into developing a product for us 370z owners.

So now I am texting with the guy and he is asking me...

"Do you think it would be possible to "pre-order the unit for the 370z? If so, it would make our research investment an easier business decision to make."

Now I am not one that wishes to PAY for someone else's "research" (which means "play around with it, until I get something working") and then buy a half baked solution for my ride. So I am going to vote NO on the "pay before I play" idea...

However, I thought if I could poll this forum and just simply ask the question...

"If a company was to come out with an off-the-shelf Tesla style head unit
that is complete plug and play package for the 370z, would you buy it and if so, what would you be willing to pay? $500.00, $700.00, $1000.00, etc..."

The company I am speaking of is:

phoenixandroidradios and you can find them on the web at the same name.

My thinking is, if I can show these folks that there is some genuine interest from this group and a possible customer base out there, they might go ahead and bring it to market.

Finally, I will just go ahead and tell you now... YES I do have an ulterior motive with this which is... I REALLY want a Tesla Style unit for my ride and I think if I can show them enough interest, they may go ahead a build one and then I can simply buy from them and install

The company I am speaking of is:

What do you think? Do you think this is a good idea and if so, what are your answers to the above questions?

Also...Mr. or Mrs. Moderator, do you think this post warrants to be made "sticky" at the top? Or maybe turned into a "poll question" and posted elsewhere in this forum...or both?

Anyway, thanks all!
