This unit is great, I upgrade from the N2 to this. Love the double DIN now and the IPOD controls made it all worth it!!

I hooked the camera up to the screen up top through an RCA switch so I can flip it see video from the HU or leave the rear view on full time...

And thanks!!!

No, the only drawback so far. Never even checked as I didn't think they'd remove this feature...

Yeah but I had the single disc on my N2, so no change there for me.

And yes the N2 had multi zone...

(and it's a 60gb with plenty of room left)
I only have a few movies and videos on there now with this setup I need to get moving on those!

No it is very quick, scrolling through is a bit harder than it should be though. Not sure how the interface on the Z1 is but this one is pretty user friendly...

Hey guys, I tried the green wire(s) on the big white connector on the unit just below the screen and it did not work on my AVIC-D1. Can anyone please just tell me exactly what one is the VSS wire on the 3 connectors just below the screen? Thanks

The D3 prefails for sure just the IPOD and XM controls are worth the upgrade. I am missing the dual zone, external display of NAV and the screen tilt though!!

There are three connectors that goto the Unified Meter and A/C Amp. . .2 grey and 1 white connectors. The two grey connectors are labeled AMP so I am guessing they are to the A/C Amp. On the WHITE connector I have tried both green wires (One with a black stripe on it and the other is a lime green color) w/NO LUCK! There is no brown wire! I have also tried other wires with no luck (Blue with black etc.). I REALLY NEED HELP ON GETTING THE VSS WIRE ON A 2004 MAXIMA w/NO BOSE! Please anyone preferably someone who has installed a AVIC-D1 etc. in their own 2004 Maxima and got the right VSS wire. I need to know this ASAP. Thanks everyone!
