After much consternation I have decided to sell my z and move on. May go appradio or may fabricate iPad in-dash. I want to thank the mods and the great people of this forum for the helpful hints and commentary. You are an excellent bunch. It's been fun and the z is a great headunit. If interested it is in the buy/sell forum.

Thanks!

I highly recommend the iPad fabrication.

I am really considering it. Would pair it up with a bitone amps and think this would be an excellent combo.
