I'm lazy, someone with superior searching skills please help me find a head-unit that will:

1. Be double-din
2. GPS
3. Built in Bluetooth for cell phone
4. Built in IPOD connectivity and control
5. Play CD's
6. Play DVD's
7. Built in XM radio (this might require an aux module, if so please specify the part needed.)

This would go into an 05' Touring 350Z with an existing Bose system, yes I need to interface directly to the built in Bose amp and speakers (not looking for audiophile quality music here.)

Want to keep this as cheap as possible!

Thanks.

 

I have the Kenwood DNX-7100 in my Z and am pretty happy with it. I have all the features and options installed that you are looking for except satellite radio (the unit has built in support for that though) and am wired into the factory speaker system with no add'l amps/speakers/etc. The cellphone bluetooth requires a separate unit available from Kenwood and the iPod/iPhone just requires an adapter cord. The user menu is a little clunky, but once you get used to it, it's OK. Here's a link to the specs on Crutchfield's website or just google DNX-7100:

Thank you, does it interface directly with the Bose equipment or are you using some sort of line coverter?

Anyone else?

 

I believe the only adapters they had to add were one for the factory wiring harness and another for the steering wheel controls. I've taken the dash apart a few times (to install a stealth V1 and a DM-200 gauge) and, while in there, taken a look at the wiring setup on the back of the DNX-7100. Everything is well labeled and intuitive. I had Car Toys do the install, but probably could have pulled it off myself without a whole lot of pain. Hope that helps you. Good luck.

 

Kenwood DNX 8120 or the 7120..

 

Been checking out the 8120, a bit pricey but it's the latest and greatest... I'm sure there is a diagram somewhere on here on how to interface it with the bose equipment, can anyone point me to it?

 

pioneer f900bt or f90bt =)

can't go wrong with pioneer

 

If you say so... looking at the reviews it seems like it's just not ready yet:

Looks like a great unit, needs some firmware tweaks?

 

+1 on the AVIC-f90bt... but i would wait untill next shipment for more info check out

Yeah it looks like a sweet unit with potential, (and better price) but man it seems it needs some work! They must have released it early to compete with the new Kenwood..

 

Check with Nazar on this site. If it deals with kenwood, he can help. Also there are several other audio guru's that can help out on this site. PM them and see what they say about the migration of the 8120 with the bose. Let us know what you find out. I bought the DDX 812 with the KNA 510 navi (seperate unit).
