Which Unit to put into the Orbital PRestige Kit

Ok so I have set up my orbital prestige kit moved my ac around, refit my guages on my a -pillar and all i need to do now is to put in a unit in the 2 din slot.

I see everyone usually going with the AVIC-Z1 which is a kickass unit but honestly I dont see myself using navigation....

basically a touch screen that allows me to use an ipod, satellite radio, cd's and regular radio would be enough for me and would probablly save me a lot of money.

however i do have the cash for the Z1. What units do you all recomend based off of my wants and if not why should i upgrade to the Z1?

Alpine IVA-W200

Half the price and the reviews say it's still an awesome head unit.

im a pioneer/premier dealer

the z1 is a much nicer unit

the d2 is nice....but just lacks the quality...its the entry level


if you dont care about navigation....maybe try the pioneer avhp6800

6 disc IN UNIT cd/dvd changer...

very cool unit...xm/sirius/ipod ready

im also an alpine dealer...and the ivaw200 is very nice...the pulsetouch should be standard on all brands....just dont try to add navigation retail is $1600 for the add on navi

find some local dealers...and go play with the units....then make your decision...


if you find yourself in central texas....send me a pm

Z1 its the ****... and the navi looks good with the interior.. it came in handy everyday for me..... just to avoid traffic too.

i will definitly buy it again and again.... when you have it, youre gonna love it and you will want navi in every car you get after this.
