rdkl - can you provide some specifics on your experiences with both units and what key differences you've encountered that are making you consider switching back? Thanks.

I'm needing to pull the trigger but I'm having second thoughts based upon the comments in the F series threads.

My dealer tells me he's got my F90bt on the shelf waiting for me to come in. After reading the comments posted here by those of you who have installed an F series regarding the bugs/problems with its operation/start-up/blue tooth/navigation - I'd like to know whether you would still go with the F series or go with the Z3.

If anyone can comment on their experiences with both, that would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks for your input. Correct assumption, the Ipod is a new classic.

I assume that I will be able to alternate between the AV and the Ipod adapter for on screen music controls if I install both?

I'm new here and love the site. I Recently had my D3 stolen along with my Ipod out of my 07 Expedition. The D3 was my first nav. I'm contemplating my options in replacing the nav and was hoping to get some input from those in the know.

I liked the setup the D3 gave me - had the sirius, bt, back up cam and ipod with the ability to watch video through the ipod and had it wired to the rear screen. At the same time, I like the idea of the bigger screen and hd of the Z-3, but have not had the opportunity to experience it first hand. I've also read some of the comments on the new F series, but I'm not overly excited about the smaller screen size and don't necessarily want to wait a month or more to have tunes in my car. If you could address the following questions and provide any additional feedback it would help -

1. Is there any way to watch ipod videos through the Z3? Will it be possible with the F series?

2. Any way to change the color of the buttons to match the dash on the Z3? F Series?

3. How effective is the voice recognition in the Z3? worth it?

4. Is the hard drive a must have - do I not know what I'm missing?

5. Anything else I'm not considering?

Thanks for taking the time to review and respond.
