Since I have nav it works for me and I am not overly concerned about a great picture since it is in the car and their are issues around the sun etc.
I think the picture is great for what it is and would recommend this upgrade for somone with stock nav. If you don't have stock nav I would go with some of the other options and you will probably have a better picture.

Maybe it`s better with your set-up.
It annoys me very much when i have to run throug the whole x-box menue searching for the song/film i was listening, before i had the great idea to start the motor to go for a spin around the block
thx, Charly

You could even just do a simple 12V mod on your stock fan to bump it up to nearly twice as much power. Open up the xbox, look at the fan in the back . . . there's a clip for it's power and ground. Cut the black wire to a fairly long length and then just ground it to a screw on the motherboard or solder it to the motherboard casing. BAM! 12V power for your fan

Power situation
Are you having any issues with your alternator not being able to keep up the batter charge when your bass is hitting and all your crap is on?
I'm not sure what the specs are for the 350Z stock alternator but I would love to know if you upgraded it or are considering to.
Any light dimming, etc?

LeMans350Z (and all),
Did you chose to pass on rear speakers? I am also looking at the JL 500/5 amp as an all in one amp to keep things simple but the rear channels are so weak (25W if I remember). My other thought was 2 amps, 1 for 4 sats and 1 for a single sub (either W3 or W6). Do you think a single W3 would sound ok? I don't need to hear it a block away just want quality.

Lemans350Z,
Love the setup. I have a question, Did you use a neon tube in the area where the amp is, I am installing my amp and speakers on Sunday and was wondering how you got the orange glow Through the bose speaker cover.
