Anyone have a recommendation between the two? I am leaning towards the Eclipse since it doesn't require extra room for the nav unit, but am still undecided. I think I am going to crack and go ahead and get a Z on friday if the price is right, I can only wait so long for the 05 announcements before I explode.
I don't know anything about the Eclipse. I have the Kenwood sitting in the box waiting to be installed. Josh (Toykilla) has it in his Z and he seems to be really happy with it.
Oh, and as far as the 2005s go, the 35th Anniversary Editions are coming out in January
I was mainly waiting on announcements to see if 05 added anything worth waiting for. I've waited a few weeks and dammit I can't stand driving my no-ac beater to work when I can pay cash for a Z tomorrow.
Are you going with the nav add-on as well, or just the primary HU?
I had originally intended on getting the Navi. But I was also originally going to put it in my daily driver (an Si). But since Civics are a lot easier to break into than Zs, I decided to move the Alpine in my Z to the Si, and I'll put the Kenwood in the Z instead. Since it'll be in a non-daily driver, at least for now, I think the Navi is a waste of money.
And yeah, I understand about the frustration of waiting for the annoucement. I doubt there are going to be any significant changes before the 2006s. But I'm basing that on nothing
I'm getting the Kenwood DDX... one of the reasons is what Bubble mentioned above. Also, it has a very easy work around for making the DVD work without the e-Brake on.
Should be able to give you the full review in about a week. Install will be this weekend or next depending on when the remainder of my components arrive.
I ended up going with the Kenwood. I didn't really need the nav either, but I am glad I got it. I really hated looking at the blue background, the nav is so much nicer
plus it has come in very handy a few times already. $1599 for the head unit and nav was definitely worth the price. The Sirius addon I am not a huge fan of, I have been with XM for a year prior and prefer their music selections over Sirius.
Recently I decided to upgrade the original head unit in my car to the aftermarket device on android. Judging by the reviews on the Internet, this device is not a bad option. Do you think it's worth spending money on a device of this brand...
Just purchased a gorgeous 7000 mile '05 Z Roadster and want to integrate a backup camera into the factory nav display.
I understand I'll have to add a module to enable new outputs into the unit but would appreciate any feedback from those who have done this. Which equipment, procedures, etc...
Many years ago I had posted my woofer pod build for my 2004 350Z here - gone now. Recently I was 'refurbishing' my pods and in the process found the old photos from way, way back in 2006 and decided to post the build again on my personal blog.
