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...

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

You could do it your self by following the upgrade sticky thread, or contact me to get a preconfigured drive.

I checked there info, both hd radio kit doesnt work for avic z. im assuming that the avic-z doesnt support hd radio. that sucks..

 

I have heard from some people that XM radio will be shuting down soon. Is this true?

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 $.

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

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

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

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)
