I have the Z120BT as well. Great unit - you won't miss the CD changer. I use a 16 GB SD card and an IPod. I also put my new amp where the stock CD changer was.

Pioneer AVIC is the way to go. Full Iphone/Ipod connectivity and HDD that stores all your music so it is like an internal disc changer built in!

Yes and No. You can jerry rig the factory junk to work with an aftermarket double din unit, but it won't sound for ****. If you're going to do it, replace everything (amps, speaks, etc).

+1 - it will work by just replacing the head unit and removing the OEM AMP. The AVIC Z120 BT has about the same power internally as the non-Bose OEM system, but you will hear a noticeable improvement if you get a new amplifier as well.
