Howdy Folks, first off this is my first post, I did use the search feature and wasn't really able to come up with the answers I was looking for, so - I'm going to give this a shot.
So, I take delivery on my new truck next week, and I've had my eye on the AVIC-Z1 for ages now, however - I have somewhat of a dilemma, in waiting for it to come out and looking at other options (had I received my truck say, 2 months ago - I'd of gotten a different headunit) I came across this little guy the Parrot 3200, which is a bluetooth handsfree setup for cars that didn't come factory with a handsfree option, what this offered that I was much interested in - was the ability to show pictures upon ringing (say Jenny is in my phonebook, and I set a picture for her, when Jenny calls and I'm in my truck, the parrot grabs it via bluetooth, and displays the picture), which is a handy feature for me, don't have to read who's calling, just look at it and decide if I want to talk to that person or not. Here's where my questions come in
Does anyone know if the AVIC-Z1 will/would be able to do this? (I don't think it can/would)
If it can't, if I have the parrot and the AVIC-Z1, would it cause a problem with 2 bluetooth capable things trying to manhandle my cell phone?
Does anyone know of ANY bluetooth headunit that's capable of displaying pictures on call?
ALSO
I'm the biggest noob when it comes to stereo's, I've been reading around on a few forums, I've posted on a few with the above questions but it's come down to - I basically don't know how to find what I want. I know that I want the AVIC-Z1 as my HU, past that - I'm clueless, to tell you how clueless - the last car stereo I had put in, the day I got my mustang, I went to best buy, and chose the most expensive speakers that fit in the doors, etc. - because I felt hey, more expensive MUST mean better - yes I know how stupid that is, so - I'm going to tell you guys what I want, and hopefully you'll have a plethora of suggestions.
I want sound quality, I'm not terribly interested in ear-bleeding bass, what I want is what I think of as reference quality sound, the kind of sound you hear if you've ever been in a recording studio. I don't know how to describe it better than that, I want crystal clear audio quality, with the best sound stage I can get. This will all be going in a 2006 Ford F-150 Supercrew, I believe the doors are 6x8 front and rear (although being the gurus you guys are, i'm sure you can find out more than that). While I'm not a millionaire, at the same time - money isn't really an object, I want the best, not the best buy, or the cheapest. I expect all new speakers, and an amp or two. I don't know if I'd need some subs and an under-rear-seat box, but - that's what I'm hoping you guys will help with, no video - just audio - design your dream system, for me, using the AVIC-Z1 as the head unit.
Thanks in advance for any and all of your answers. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
