I'm having trouble deciding on what nav unit I should get. I have narrowed it down to 4 of them: AVIC Z1, AVIC Z2, DNX 5120 and DNX 7120. Yes, i know there is a 8120 out there and so forth, but its too expensive.
I know that the the Z2 and the 7120 are the newer models, but is there a big difference from the previous models (Z1 and 5120)? If there is a difference, is it worth the money?
Which one should I get and why?
Thanks
do a search through the audio forum.. I have answered this questions at least 10 times over...
the Z1 is the EXACT same thing as the Z2 and Z3. A firware update and updated nav discs gives you the EXACT same unit! Pioneer counts on buyer ignorance not knowing that they don't change their Z series units... and for the most part, it works!
The 5120 and 7120 are not in the same lineup.. the 8120 is the new improved version of the 7120.. the 5120 was introduced to compete with the Pioneer D3 unit... night and day difference between these units...
While I won't rehash the numerous differences... a simply glance at the product page on the various websites should show you the diferences between them!
