Altima Coupe Nav System (Why)

[rjdmmfl1]

My stock nav is hacked so I can press buttons while moving the car, it's a very simple mod to do.

is it the hardware hack or the software hack... the software hack is NOT simple to do at all, so I'm guessing its the switch hack... I thinki the members above were looking for a cleaner, software hack!

[Goon]

The only thing I regret about the Nav, is not having a USB port. I would love to just pop songs on a flash drive, and bring it into play.

I don't think the Avic has that.

Oh yeah, I wish there was a better looking customizable Audio User Interface. I saw the Avic, and it was still pretty ugly.

I'm pretty sure Nissan didn't want people pressing buttons, watching movies for safety reasons as the Pioneer has advertised.

I'm satisfied though, until I can handle that female voice giving me directions, hehe.

the point of the above was to emphasize the aftermarket units many advantageous features over the factory Nav.

I didn't mention anything about user interfaces appearance because that's a matter of opinion, no way to state an advantage either way... I personallly like the Avic Z2's user interface, but am not particularly fond of the Avic D3's interface... again that's an opinion not credible in a discussion over features. However, regarding user interfaces, the 32,000 color button illumination allows perfect integration with any vehicle... and this is an advantage that I didn't mention for the Avic!

Currently, Pioneer's single din cd players have USB inputs, but not the navigation units... while that is something that they need to add, the factory units don't have those either, again, not an advantage for either of them! The Avics are however XM or Sirius ready, while the factory system is XM only (may not make a difference now with the merger of the companies) but again another advantage for Pioneer's units!

Just use your AUX in, instead of the USB port. I know it's not the same thing, but hey, you are still bringing mass amounts of portable music into your car.

the avic has aux inputs also... audio/video aux in to be exact... however, there is a HUGE difference between a USB input vs aux 3.5mm jack regarding sound quality!

There's always something bigger and better out there. I'm happy with what I have.
