Sup guys, just got a 04 stuck Z, base mode, whats the best option to put a gps on it? remove the stock radio and buying a gps console with built in music player, or try to find the stock gps that goes on top of the radio?

 

Pick up a Headunit, DD size. Looks best imho

 

Define "best".

Most expensive is how most people define best now but some would want the best GPS interface/performance or some would want the best value. Those are three different GPS systems.

 

I got the 06 base and I just put in a 7" Eclipse 6620 GPS/Stereo unit in place of the factory unit. Must say, you should keep it to 7" if you want to maintain a stock look on the interior if that is what your going for.

 

well for me the best was a garmin that sits in the cubby hole unused in the winter and usually on the bike for the summer for some touch screen music action

 

Moved...

 

I would like to offer help, but need to know what you want.

1. Do you want a "built-in" solution or are you looking for something that is transportable?
2. Do you want touch-screen control?
3. What is your budget?

I came back to your thread and notice that you started a thread, but choose not to respond on your own thread. Maybe you are searching right now? …That’s a good thing if in fact you are doing this.

Anyway… here is more information: Paul350Z created one of the best threads on my350z.com “EVAH.” His post describes fitting a monitor into the upper/forward cubby space in the 2003-2005 Nissan 350Z. His thread…

… should be required reading for anyone asking about mounting LCD screens in a Z car. Read this thread. It will answer at least your initial question.

 

I hard wired my Nuvi into the cubby in the dash. I like being able to cover it up without taking it down. It turns on and off with the car and looks pretty clean without any wires showing.

 

$400-$500 something built it touch would be nice.. some thing like Pioneer AVIC-F700BT

well these two are going to be around $500 Kenwood LZ-702W and Kenwood KNA-G520 Navigation Box how are these compare to a Pioneer AVIC-F700BT??

 

Sorry if I misunderstood your question... these are not comparable devices.

The Pioneer AVIC-F700BT is a DD device that goes into the lower DD slot in the Z.

The solutions I mention (that you asked about) are a LCD screen (placed in the upper/forward cubby) with a remote GPS box.

whats be best and cheapest DD gps with built radio and cd player?

 

For clarification, a DD device will not fit in the upper cubby, hence Spike's other suggestions.

 

i want to replace my dd factory, with a gps..
