Trying to find out whether its worth picking this up. I'd be using it just for navi/watching movies basically...I'd also be picking up the Orbital HVAC reloc kit. Any opinions? Any other comparable navi's out there in this price range? I would love the Z1 but I probably wouldn't use all its fancy features...

Only downside is I'd have to pick up some gauges as I wouldn't be interested in relocating the factory gauge kit anywhere.

 

I have the avic d-1 one and it works great.

I love the xm grapghics and the gps.

I dont think the d-2 plays movies

 

Does the D1?

 

no

 

so there is no way to play movies with D2, not even if you do the bypass mod...

 

There is i had a N2 for a while and i got it to play movies! Worked Sick! you can get the d1 to also you just need to Bypass it. Its Very Easy you should do some reseach though



This is where the Search option comes in handy!

 

i believe you'd have to take out the navi disc in order to play a dvd

 

I have the D2 and it works great. However, the base unit will not play movies. The only way to play movies in the D2 is to buy the optional DVD-changer/player, and hook up the video through the D2 video/accessory cables. It may be cheaper and more compact to go with the Z1 (or Eclipse) if movies are really important to you.
