Ive heard JVC quality isnt as good as the others. Pioneer definitely has some nice set ups for right around that price.

I wish I could buy the OEM navigation. Can I fit aftermarket double din player in the cubby and leave the oem where it is?

It could, but you'd need to do some modifying of the dash. It would then stay that way; you'd need to buy a new dash if you ever wanted to remove the double DIN from that area. What you can do is use a smaller Alpine or Kenwood screen that would fit there; we've done them before and they're excellent for DVD / Navigation, but they won't function as your head unit. If you want to do a double DIN head unit, you have to either modify the dash or just put it in the factory space. The best on the market are the Pioneer Z2 or the Eclipse double DIN pieces, but the Pioneer D3 is personally my favorite one because you can change color schemes. 8-)

If you mount your doubledin headunit in the cubby, I really want to see photos,,Please. Not only will you have to mod your whole dash,,,but trying to find room behind the cubby for the harness, RCA's ect. ect. will really be a pain. I have yet to see anyone accomplish this task. But,,,if you can do it,,,please post photos,,,,I have thought about it a long time ago..

Good Luck

Which double din touchscreen unit has the least amount of buttons? I want one that looks really clean and with as few buttons as possible. I'd also probably remove any logos to make it look less aftermarket.

Yeah, I saw a few pics of that on this forum. Looks real clean and sits flush with the dash. Too bad I don't have that kind of money to spend on a hu right now.

It might have been mine if you saw pics on the forum of it.

Thanks for the compliments

But yeah, it was expensive, but worth every penny thus far.

Yeah, it was yours. https://my350z.com/forum/showpost.ph...32&postcount=8

Is it possible to change the background/wallpaper? I know I saw a Pinoneer (I think) had the Transformers logo. Pretty cool.

You should be able to get this DD touchscreen from Nazar @ Wicked C.A.S (sponser here - do search) ~ 1K. PM him and asked to find out for sure. Great guy, great service and pricing.
