I think it looks pretty sweet! Plus for msrp of only 1000 it seems like its going to be a good buy.

 

Looks nice, any additional info? Release date (If it has not already been), etc?

Better IPOD Controls

 

that thing is beautiful, im definitely getting one of those when they come out if the price is less than 1,000

 

That *does* look like a handy-dandy unit. It looks smaller than a double din though? maybe that's just the photo distortion or something?

 

It is a double din. MSRP Is 1000.00 Crutchfield is taking preorders at 850.00. Realease date is somewhere around march 1. Some dealers have them already although we won't have ours until middle of march.!

The only bad thing about this unit is that it only has one drive unlike the d1 and d2. But on the plus side it will play dvd's and has way better ipod functions.


Edit* I can't spell*

 

Dimensions (Main Chassis) 2DIN (7" x 4" x 6-1/2")

Display Features
Screen Size/Aspect Ratio 6.1 inch / 16:9
Pixels 336,960 (1,440 x 234)


So yes its smaller then some

 

I wonder how hard it wil be to by-pass the safety features... But that is a sexy looking unit, esp for the price... The IVA-W200 is that, but you need to spend another $700 for the Blackbird w/ dock (not the W205 though, only $500)

 

that pioneer is pretty good

i like the z1 though. the sony deck hmmmm

i dunno

i have the jensen 9021ts in my truck, has awesome ipod controls

 

The Z2 will be coming out in April..

 

I read about this 2 months ago and cant wait for it to come out. This will be my next mod.

 

Where do you see the preorder price of 850 at Crutchfield? I went to their site and it says $999

 

Maybe they have them in stock now. They were 850.00 on the preorder.

 

I might have to replace my AVIC D2 with this unit, I really like the looks of this one though. I might have to trade up.
