RonS Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 I have a avic d3 and want to upgrade to a hard drive based headunit i was looking AVIC-X920BT ,AVIC-Z3 , AVIC-Z120BT. please give input but the headunit must be able to have ipod/iphone controls and be able to watch videos from them.. The Z120-BT and X920-BT are not hard-drive based, and I don't think the Z3 is either. What do you need the HD for? On these units, the maps, OS, and applications are stored in non-volatile NAND (4GB). You can store media files on either/or an SD card or a USB jump drive (not HD). I use the ipod interface for my songs and videos most of the time. I really dont think you want a hard-drive based system. They are not that good in a moving vehicle and are subject to head crashes. Solid State is the way to go. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
garrettoomey Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Z1, Z2, and Z3 are DEFINATELY hard drive based units and work very well. I still prefer the Z3 over the Z110 for the navigation portion of the system. The Z110 excels for anyone using an iPod for menu speed and video. Just my $.02. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gadgeeets Posted December 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 ok thanks i've been looking at the avic-z120bt any comments on that unit as a upgrade frome a d3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
felixgun Posted January 12, 2011 Report Share Posted January 12, 2011 I went from AVIC-D2 to AVIC-Z110BT. HUGE difference. The touch screen is more responsive. There is .5" bigger screen. It takes USB/SD with an ipod interface and plays video (My d2 did not). Built in 4GB flash memory for nav (versus having a DVD-ROM nav disc). Too many additions to list.
