I currently Own a C-6 Corvette that has the Premium Bose 6-cd changer and am thinking of installing a Pioneer AVIC Z-1 nav unit. This thing is a state of the art piece. It has SO much more than the factory nav unit. Including 10 GB of hard drive to store your cd's by converting them to Mp3, AND WATCHING DVD VIDEO!!!!I am also learning that there are several adapters available so you (or your installer) doesn't have to cut any wires at all. These retain all factory warnings and chimes!

Has anyone installed one yet?
If interested do a search for "pioneer avic z-1" and there is a review video from the

0corvette pilot

Is the Z1 on the market yet?

My father just bought a C6 and is probably going to put this in, mine has the factory nav and in reading the specs this system seems a lot better. His car should be here this week.

I am quite share that this model is out now in fact Crutchfield says they have it in stock.

I will be very interested to see how it turns out when he gets it.

I bought a Magellon after market GPS system. It attaches to the windshield and can be used in any vehical. 6MM POI's

i installed mine last months. I used a kit from Metra..fit like factory. You dont have to install the speed sensor wire. I put the GPS antenna on the rear hatch window w/ 3m double sided tape. I used the factory amp and speakers...and added a powered sub. It sound real good

You might want to consider the new Eclipse Nav. I have seen last years model (new model just comming out) and it has some nice fetures, stereo sounds very nice, and looks/fits awesome in a vette. Read consumer reviews on both units.

Yeah, I've said it before and I'll say it again- those Eclipse units are solid if your going for something in your DIN slot....

I think I mentioned this a couple of months ago, but I wanted something I could move around a little bit easier which is one reason why I like the Tom Tom 300. They've got a couple of newer models out now w/Bluetooth and bigger screens and such too. Can't beat the flexibility.

Good luck in the search! There's a LOT out there.

Eclipse AVN-5495 for me. Built in 30gig hard drive for MP3's and you can watch DVD's on the fly with a quick jumper to ground on the parking brake wire.Most new NAV/DVD units use your speed sensor instead so you cannot jump them.

Awesome picture and sound .I paired that up with Earthquake SWS-10's inthe doors with Alpine self powered tweeters and the sound is amazing.I burn DVD music videos on my PC for passenger entertainment and for long cruises. A 4.7gb DVD holds about 50 music videos.

I have the AVIC-D1. Simply stated, I will never own another car without one of the AVIC product line installed.

Have the AVIC-D1 (installed last XMAS) and damn them, they had to come out with the frikkin Z1 a few months later.

I'm JONESING for this puppy. My local dealer will get me one for $2K installed. Still waiting for the new Clifford alarms to ship (May 15th) since it's already paid for...

Anyone wanna buy a 6 month old D1? Told him to get me around $750 for it...

The establishments which sell all the brands always suggest Eclipse if you have the $$.
