Default Buying a AVIC-Z2

Hi all, im buying the pioneer AVIC-Z2 head unit.
What do you guys think of the unit? On Amazon, they give it horrible reviews but on circuit city people have given it awesome reviews.
Does it have custom wallpaper like the d2 units?

If you are thinking about buying the F90BT, I would suggest that you hold out on buying right now as I've read that there are lot of bugs that needs to be worked out. Some of the bigger ones right now are, horrible BT outgoing voice quality, and frequent system lockouts. Check out avic411.com for more info. I'll prob wait till after they release a patch to pick it up.

I put an Avic n2 in my cherokee when they were brand new. I love that head unit, it works awesome and I have never been lost since. The down fall to the older Avics is the DVD map drive and small internal memory. The new ones rocks and I recently bought the Avic z2 with build in mapping (no map dvds) and the 10 gigs of music storage. I have not installed it yet but I will for sure give it a hardcore evaluation and let you all know.

Save your time the Z2 has been out for a long time. The Z3 is out now. There have been plenty of reviews and evaluations.
