The side glance to a nav monitor is much quicker then looking down near my shifter for information, etc. As for the Garmin, I have seen them and I am very unimpressed and they don't use the XM nav traffic, as far as I know. Hence my interest in the Pioneer navs.

Hmmm, ok. I thought it might be. However, if I wanted to make the monitor a touchscreen, I would need to be able to send data to and from the brain...a technical challenge.

Also, what kind of video out jacks does it have. If anyone happens to have a decent picture of the rear of the unit, please post it. Thanks.

Thanks for replying Mr. Smartass I have never seen the back of the unit, probably because the photos I have seen have sucked. I was thinking of putting a screen on top the dash, right about the vents on my 03 TL. I just have to find a screen.

I wanted to find out if there was a way to hook up an additional video monitor to an N3? The screen on the N3 is nice, however, due to the location of the HU in my car, I would need to take my eyes off the road to use the nav unit, which is not a good idea.

Damn. I could remove the double din Bose radio & cd changer combo and put it in there, but I don't like the idea of having to look down at the nav vs looking to the right when driving. I should have gotten one without the nav. If I did, I would still be driving around Georgia looking for the on-ramp.

Great, thanks

I am considering getting a Z2 in my 03 TL to replace my OEM Nav unit. The OEM unit has one feature I haven't seen mentioned here, the ability to control the A/C functions. There are separate controls under the nav forcold, heat, rear defrost and front defrost, however, in the OEM unit, you have the ability to chose where the heat/cold is blowing (feet, feet & chest, chest, etc.) as well as the fan speed. Can the Z2 do this? Or would I am I SOL? Thanks

Hi- I am looking to replace my OEM navigation unit with a Z2 and put it in the same spot in the dash. I will not be removing my OEM Bose stereo. has anyone done this? I called a local installer and he said they could do it for $250 for the install and $150 for some fiberglass kit (I guess so the unit fits in that spot?) I want it in the same spot so that the screen is relatively at eye level. And I want to go with the Z2 so I can get the traffic nav features. If someone has had it done or has done it themselves, please post some pics. Thanks!
