I have the Z1 in my Diamante, but I'm thinking about buying a new car. I'm looking at the Infiniti M35 or the BMW 525. Now both cars come with nice navi systems all integrated with controls on the dash. So I don't know if I should keep my Z1 and have it put in, or go with the systems that are so integrated!?! Cause I love my Z1 and I have so many things hooked up to it (XM, Sirius, TV, DVD Changer, iPod, etc). Opinions?

Not sure about Infiniti but BMW will let you order is without nav. May save you a little money and you can put your Z1 in it

As far as I know, neither the BMW nor the Infinity will allow you to have a TV and DVD changer hooked up. They may offer options for XM, Sirius and your iPod, but I dont think they offer the other two.

If it was my car, and I was happy with the Z1 and all it has to offer, I would put the Z1 into my new car.

If NavTraffic is important to you...you may want to see if the factory units offer that. I don't believe either of the makes you mentioned do.

Ahh yes, NaviTraffic, good point. I'm defiantly leaning towards keeping it all.

My wifes 07 es350 factory nav looks sweet. The text is very smooth and well excellent. BUT....the Z1 does a better job in my opinion. Only major gripe is that the text in the Z! is subpar but vid looks great. Like having a 5,000 cpu and installing a 100.00 CRT monitor. WHy do peeps do that lol.
