jin22gt Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 hey guys. just got couple of questions about the avic. hope you guys could help. Can somebody explain to me what the difference is between avic z1, z2, z3? Does the avic come with HD radio? do they sell a kit for this? Where can i purchase the avic for the cheapest online? does any brand of backup camera work for the avic? thanks... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lludacrisboy Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 No they don't sell a HD radio system for the Z-series, however the whole HD radio thing is pretty ridiculous. Check out your Messages, i sent you a message of my Z1 that was upgraded to a Z3 for sale with the Xm and Nav traffic and everything. Its a great deal. Let me know Quote Link to post Share on other sites

st577 Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 sirius has asked for some bail out money. Just shows that they are in the red like everyone else and may fold. I heard that they might get bought out. check it out on the www before you spend the $. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CamelTowing Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 HD radio works fine with the Z, it just shows up as an external device. That means the interface isn't great, but it isn't on the F-series either. Just tune to the channel to want to hear and it works fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CamelTowing Posted February 22, 2009 Report Share Posted February 22, 2009 They aren't getting bailout money, they got half a billion bucks invested from the corp that owns the Atlanta Braves and half of DirecTV in exchange for a shitload of stock and seats on the board of directors. Buys them some time but still have a ridiculous amount of debt sirius has asked for some bail out money. Just shows that they are in the red like everyone else and may fold.

jin22gt Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 Just a quick question about the avic-z. Can you store mp3's on the harddrive by burning mp3 files onto a blank cd and moving it to the harddrive? I have read somewhere that it only stores original cd's? is this true? thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have read somewhere that it only stores original cd's? is this true? thanks You cannot store (or move) MP3s to the harddrive. As you said, the only way is to let the Z rip audio CDs...(copied or original) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jin22gt Posted February 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2009 wow. that sucks..! who has original cd's these days? it's all mp3's these days.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
