Toronto,
I want to set up my 350Z's audio/Nav system like yours. You mentioned in a post that for the Alpine Nav you can download and burn the cd ROM software from the internet. Where can I find this to download cause I want to get the Nav but don't know where to find the software. I am primarily interested in the southeast maps as I live in Florida. Your nav is the NVA-N751AS, right? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, does that Sony headunit sound as good as it looks?
Thanks,
Dave

You can download it by using internet P2P programs like 'E-Donkey', 'WinMX', 'Kazza'.
I had no problem downloading several NAV cd's.
I have downloaded 5 CD's so far but no Florida map 'cause I know i will never drive my Z to Florida..(uh.. 3500 miles..)
(You can still buy a Nav cd for US$100. from any Alpine Authorized dealer or even cheaper on E-bay)
Sony headunit... Hmm.. I like its look but... Sound quality is way inferior than the high end model from Pioneer, Alpine, Clarion.
Not that bad but still bad. It's SONY![Smilie](https://my350z.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
But.. People LOVE it. You know why

Thanks for the info. I have Kazza Lite but there's no Nav software available. Guess I need to download regular Kazza or one of the other file sharing programs and try. I ordered the Alpine NVA N751AS nav from ebay today. I paid $650 for a brand new unit with software for the southeast states and all US highways. I'm working on getting the Alpine screen as well. Looks like a decent GPS Nav with voice prompts, gyros to sense turns and speed just like the expensive DVD navs. How do you like yours?
I really having trouble deciding on the Sony HU. Adding the screen makes me want to add a dvd player in addition to the NAv to display cool images, and that makes me want to add the hu so the sound from my dvd is dvd quality. If I add the Sony HU then I might as well get XM radio since aftermarket HUs typically don't get good FM reception, not to mention Sony supports XM so I could order Sony components and it would all be digital. With the $660 HU now visable, my car no longer looks stock so I will need an alarm. By the time were done were talking at least $3000. It's really difficult to decide where to draw the line but I'm having a good time dreaming.
