Just so you guys know, I have searched and come up with a few mixed responses. I know the only difference between a Z1 and Z2 is software and POIs, and you can upgrade the Z1 to the Z2 but can you upgrade it to the Z3 when it comes out??? Is it worth getting the Z2 or should I just get the Z1 and upgrade it...??? I do not plan on using the HD, I plan on getting an 80GB iPod and putting it in the glove box. Also plan on bluetooth satellite radio and backup camera. It seems I can only find refurbished Z1s and I am apprehensive about these units, is it worth it just to get a Z2 from this standpoint and not worry about potentially messing up my unit?

 

I also see a lot of mixed responses on whether to get it from eBay or not... Obviously they are cheaper but is it worth the risk? Has anyone bought one off eBay from a seller that still has some for sale and want to provide a link for me? Thanks guys!

Z3 will be here any day now. Save the trouble of hacking the HD and buy it instead so you get the newest mapping

Do you have to "hack" the HD for the upgrade, I thought it meant putting a CD in the drive with the correct files...

If you want to do it for cheap, you have to hack the HD

 

That disk you refer to costs $250 and can only be used one time
