After sitting on pins and needles waiting for Pioneer to return my email about information on the XDV-P6, which is the 6 Disk DVD/CD changer for the Z1, they say that there is no actual release date for the unit but it will debute sometime in June.

The M.S.R.P. is: $650

Heres the skinny on the unit:
Introducing a 6-disc player unlike any other: the XDV-P6. In addition to playing standard audio CD-R/RWs, it can handle DVD Video and Video CDs. It can also playback MP3,WMA/WAV files. Combine it with a Pioneer Audio/Video Receiver like the AVH-P7800DVD or AVH-P6800DVD or a Pioneer Navigation System like the AVIC-N3,D2 or the AVIC Z1, and you can select and play either audio or video discs.
Lastly, for further flexibility you can customize you installation with both in-dash and under-dash mounting

From what i gather (dont hold me to it) from the picture it looks to be the size of a single-din installation..

And for further information clicky here:

Hmm I wonder if it will do MP3's off of DVD's.

Our rep said no, but the upcoming AVHP7800DVD will so hopefully future navi models will

Do you guys know whether or not it is possible for the Z1 to do MP3 DVDs? I know right now it can't but is it capable and it just needs a software update?

I don't see why not. In the meantime you can use Roxio Easy CD Creator 8 to make audio dvd's as a workaround. Screenshots and description here:

Saw one of these in a store today so I guess they have shipped already. Nice looking unit

How does this work? Attach to the IP Bus and controlled by the HU?

Yep, shows up in your source menu as another DVD player so you can control it from the head unit

Sweet, I wonder if you can send that to your rear source...
