Thanks for doing this. Looks like a much nicer nav system than in my 2007 350. A few more questions:

- Does it give you caller ID on the screen for incoming calls?
- Can you cycle through previous destinations while the car is moving? My 07 only lets you cycle through the at 5 destinations that fit on the screen - it does not let you cycle through more previous destination listings than that while moving.
- And can you look up restaurants and such while moving? What about adding a destination address while moving?

When moving you can use the following destination functions: :)
-Previous destination
-Nearby places (restaurants, gas, etc)
-Address book
-Previous start point
-Stored destinations

It works real nice from the steering control. On my previous car, the damn thing was basically worthless once you were moving except for stored destinations.

Booooo what happened to the video?

Hmmm.. Maybe the old iPhone is crapping out on me

Great job with the video! Thanks!

Thanks for the video PAR, It helped me get a good idea of how the Navi set up is and works.

Thanks a lot friend

Hey everyone, I was wondering if someone could post up a pic with the navi pkg in the Z. A night time shot or a daytime, but the Navi must be on. Any help would be appreciated.:p

I hope this helps. I have posted these before, but these relate to this thread well:

They had the navi on retarded map mode and zoomed way in - was not sure how to get it to bird's eye. Feel free to browse other pic in my album.

I use to use iguidance, which was pretty dang good at noticing one from the other, but my current Pioneer Avic F90BT is absolutely useless noticing when I forget/miss the exit. I've noticed missed exits and frontage roads to be the acid test for navi systems.

I'm with you on that. Houston seems to be a lot more frontage-road centric than other major cities, maybe the guys who design these things never test them in a city like Houston.

"Frontage road centric" I think is a vast understatement, because I know I've seen some next to two lane highways! Don't get me wrong, they're not a bad idea, just a PITA for gps and navi and street racing hooligans. Guess frontage roads and strip malls is what happens with no zoning laws :icon14:

I came from using iGuidance 4, which was a lot better at handling frontage roads. I'm pretty sure it had a tolerance engine that would make decisions about whether or not to 'snap to' the highway/road based on sat accuracy, speed, and nearby roads. The unit I use now on the other hand i think just has the blanket "if the gps says it's within 5 meters of the road, it must be on the road". Of course all the construction in/around Houston doesn't help at all. How did the head of DOT put it? Something like "doing open heart surgery without bypass and with the patient fully conscious?" Thank god I don't have to commute...yet.

Edit: I'm liking the Z red interior lighting more and more. I use to hate all red, associated it with that BMW/Merc (can't remember which) red in the late 90's interiors. That was a really blood red and I just hated it for whatever reason. I think the Z's is more orange, more subdued and soft. Not a huge fan of the Mustang green. Nice real life pics for letting me see that orange/red.

can you put the CF cover back on after you put a card in or is it a 'blank' that takes up the slot?
