I bought a 41k Nismo and put a 1k nav in it, that plays DVDs, so I don't see the problem here. If the 40th anniv edition is anything like the nismo, and it sounds like it is, it will come with a double DIN radio that is modular and easily replaced. problem solved.

the only thing i don't like about the after market systems is that it can't sit where the center console glove box sits. I also like the fact that the climate control switch and display are more integrated in the factory model.
While i'm sure most people with aftermarket double dins decks have no problem tilting their heads more down than the factory display (for Nav, movies, or whatever pretty pictures)....i'm not sure if everyone here can say the same, but I like my display as close to the road I'm looking in front of me as possible. Less head movements, plus, as convenient the glove box is being where the factory display's located...i'm sure if someone could choose (whether if it's factory or aftermarket), they'd much rather have a display there instead of the glove box. Unfortunately, they don't make aftermarket decks with the LCD separated from the head unit itself. Otherwise, they could fit more buttons for the Navigation aspect instead trying to fit everything within the 7" double din dimension leaving most people to use the remote for aftermarket decks. If they have made such a sound system, I'd go with the aftermarket one without thinking twice. But i have to agree that the aftermarket stereo is a much better bang for the buck compared to the factory NAV. At the same time, we all have to agree the factory NAV looks much better than any after market decks out there. Sorry I went on and on about the Sound system of the car and deviated from the real topic of this thread, please don't flame me for expressing my opinion - i'm just sad Nissan won't let me order the car I want in US, they have it....just not in US I have to say though, the 40th Anniversary Edition is a very nice looking car overall.

could always go with a single DIN nav system with a motorized flip up screen, it would sit at the top of your radio hole, and the screen would flip up an inch under where the stock nav woudl have been. Mind you the motorized screen isn't as sturdy, especially if it's touch screen and you just push the screen in every time, but hey, it's something lol. I agree with the fact that the stock nav looks great in the car, and that the Nismo and 40th should come with it, but I can't change how it comes. Maybe ripping out the center console and replacing it with the stock with nav center console? Not sure how viable that is.

Peter............
Glad you were able to get a fully loaded (including Navigation) 40th Anniversary 370Z. I guess that is one of the many benefits of living in Germany. Please post so we can see this model at its full . . . Special . . . 40th Anniversary potential. How much did you have to pay for the options that will not be available in cars shipped to the USA? |

The Roadster is being released in Aust in 4 weeks I ordered one in 40th Anniversary quartz (yes that colour is an option on the roadster in OZ) I picked the colour based on the nissan Aust website swatch which I loved but all pics
i have seen show it looking dull purple I swear I will not take delivery, they can run me through the highest court in the land and I would disembowel myself with a butter knife before I get around in a pinkish purple convertable. someone please tell me it was just bad light and it's really gunmetal grey.......PLEASE!!! |
