Wanted to see if we could gather a list of good double din units to use in the Z...

 

I would be interested to.

If anyone has a good double DIN unit please post details and a picture if you have one.

I have a Performance model on order, and a stereo upgrade is being planned.

 

One of my favorites, totally Tubular!

 

Ok, that is the COOLEST car radio I have ever seen.

Is that a current production model? How much? Where?

I am not sure it goes with the "ultra futuristic" Z, but the contrast might be fun.

 

Is that a JDM model Panasonic? I almost thought McIntosh for a minute, but that is pretty cool. I don't think it would go well with my dark grey Z interior... but it's very cool...

 

Yes, it's JDM, not sure where to get one, but where there is a will, there is a way! And, I agree, it would look out of place in a Z, BUT if there was a cover, like the nav cover, to hide it, I'd get one! The tube has got to sound SMOOOOOOTH!

 

I ran across this Alpine on Millionbuy.com. I can't find it on the Alpine website.. planning on calling them. It's a Double Din CD Changer!

Come to find out, Alpine originally marketed this unit in the U.S... but now it's only offered in Japan. They said it's tough to make a reliable CD Changer in such a small unit.

SUX!

 

Actually.. I think it would go pretty well.

It looks aluminesque... like much of the 350Z interior. And the amber illumination should match the Z PERFECTLY!

Damn, I want one!!

 

if you're going to do a double din set up, might as well do video too

Nice one
Here's the original :

I have a few very upscale DD HU I'd like to show but I can't seem to get the photos to load. I'll keep trying, but if anyone has a quick answer or something they think I should check, drop me a note. Thanks

 

Many of us have bought the Sony WX7700 and it is totally cool.

Here is another Sony that has 728 adjustable colors to match your cabin panel and is a couple hundred dollars less. I think it's about $400. It has the slick futuristic lines that match the 350Z.

 

Here's another one with great lines and a futuristic look. They eye candy is great too. 3D moving pictures etc. Whoaa. It also has a 4 Mini disc changer built inside in addition to the CD player.

 

Some people like this one. It certainly is different. Kind of looks like a ham radio. The nice thing is it plays MP3 files. The screen colors can be changed. I think there are 12 colors. It has a full spectrum equalizer too.

 

Here's another color that matches the Z more.

 

These are all cool double din setups. Here's an idea I had about combining 2, single din units, one on top of another. The only down side I can see is that the lighting is blue instead of amber to match the Z interior. But it's one possibility about what to do with the other single DIN space in the Z, when one of the spaces is filled with a single DIN headunit.

 

Or this one . . .

 

Here's a 2DIN face i'm getting for my Z. http://store5.yimg.com/I/discountsonline_1726_3986448
