this is a great board and you guys have been very helpful. Just another reason I love the f'n internet! I had to pass on that z1 bc I couldnt get my paypal to work fast enough and the seller wanted it gone. But I am still interested in the refurb route.. I wonder what the quality of the refurbs are and how often people have problems with them cuz I definately dont wanna have to rip this thing out after spending time on an install that is prob a little over my head. Oh yeah and big floppy or anyone who has experience with both the d3 and the z1, Is there a big difference in screen resoluti

Getting the d3 installed in the next week

I read somewhere that you need a ipod video gen 5 or 5.5

yeah and read the fine print at the bottom... you wont get the rebate if you got your unit from best buy, circuit city, tweeter (hifi buys), and a couple other places.. I found this very misleading

thx for the reply, unfortunately I am a college student and this is really all that I can afford on this right now. Isnt the z1 an upgrade away from being the z3 though? I saw a hard drive replacement on ebay for 200 and buddy claims that it will bump a z1/z2 up to z3?? Anyone else care to comment on anything else?

Ok, I need to make a quick decision and I thought I would ask the avic experts for help. My situation: I just bought an avic-d3 from best buy for $699 with no interest financing and right when I was about to have it installed I found a deal on a Z1 for $700. Its used but in excellent shape and it has what I need to install it in my 350z. i have a couple questions and concerns so if I could get some help I would really appreciate it! --Do you think this is a good deal? would you wait and get the new series that just came out, stay with the d3(i dont really care about changing discs) or go
