Are they the only vendor selling a DD unit? I know riverside sells them, but dont know who to talk to now that Jason is gone. What do these usually go for? Also, i have a bose with Nav, do i need a different DD unit?

Question: Why do you need the JDM AC controller? Is the shape different to only fit the double din setup? Just wondering why the US spec AC controller won't work.

It looks like theres a black plastic trim around the unit, is that part of the JDM dash kit or is it part of the avic Z1 that happened to fit perfectly into the JDM dash kit?

That's steep, especially without dual climate control.

It's part of the AVIC kit and does not fit well in the JDM DD finisher. Everyone complains about it. I just had my D3 installed and I think it uses the same sh*t fitting trim ring. My installer did a great job with it.

the z2 came out just this year, so I doubt they will be releasing anything like z3 in near future.
