Hey everyone, I currently have a AVIC-Z2 and I am really disappointed with the iPOD controls being really slow and the lack of video via the iPOD, Divx support and only having 6 FM presets. I have heard Kenwood has a new all-in-one head unit the DNX7100.... Divx Support Flash Memory Based Garmin Navi (built in) Full Speed IPOD access with IPOD video and podcast support, not to mention you can see the album art on screen too. Touch Screen and Bluetooth as well NO HDD Has anyone gotten their hands on this unit, I have been reading a lot of good things about this, but no formal re

no the installer doesnt do it, and for me, its not really a big deal. Even more off topic, I am thinking about switching from the AVIC-Z2 to the Kenwood DNX7100 I have heard some good reports on thie HU but no formal reviews have been posted about it, has anyone got their hands on one of these?? Right now it looks like a better unit, FULL SPEED iPOD controls, SD Card Slot, USB Slot for pen drives, built in Garmin Navi board, Divx support and Ipod Video support, as well as HD Radio. Looks like a better unit, thinking about switching???

Thanks everyone for your quick response, The car is a 2006 Nissan Altima SE-R, with the bose stero system. When we placed in the AVIC-Z2 we used a Metra 70-7551 adaptor so that we could plug in the AVIC-Z2 into the facotry bose amp. As for your question about tweaking the chassis of the drive, what do you mean by that? Thanks for all your help Rob

Hey everyone, I just got my hands on a AVIC-Z2 and after installing it, when I start up the car, first off I hear the Hard Disk spin up through the speakers of the car and when I am driving an I press the gas, i can also hear the engine noise through the speakers as well. Just wondering if something was wrong with the installation, and if so is there anything I can do to fix it?? Thanks Rob
