Z2 Ipod, XM, and Bluetooth questions (and pic request)

I currently have a D3, and I'm looking at a Z2. The hard drive would cure one of my biggest gripes with the D3 (chosing between nav disc or CD), but I'm wondering about the Ipod, XM, and bluetooth functions. Looks like the Z2 uses entirely different adapters, so I assume the screens and functions will be different.

 

1. Is the ipod display the same? Could someone post a pic?

2. Pic of the XM screen?

3. Any chance the GEXP10XMT XM Nav Traffic unit will work with the Z2?

4. I happen to have a cell phone that doesn't support bluetooth data push, is there any way to load contact names on the Z2 without it? (with the D3 I am out of luck)

Look at this for screen pics:

1. The ipod display is not as nearly as fast as the D3. You will be disappointed. Why are you taking the disk out so much if you have an ipod?

2. See link

3. Yes

4. No

Thanks for the link and info.

 

Wow, that thing is just ugly as hell!

 

My reasons for upgrading would be just so that I don't have to keep an ipod in the car, and to fix the contacts issue. Doesn't look like the Z2 is an option for either.
