Hmmm...

...stores up to 10GB of music files...that is a lot of music...can music from a laptop computer be down-loaded to the head-unit (with a USB cable)?

IIRC it has to be from CD, but you can make MP3 CD and copy them on at about 130 ish songs a ta time. 10G/700M = 15 CD's

OK, so besides the CD slot for playing music and a trunk changer, 10GB of music can be downloaded to the built-in hard-drive (from a CD). That is like the whole Lawrence Welk polka collection, plus the Celine Dion 40 album song book! Maybe even some space left over for the William Shatner version of Lucy In the Sky With Diamonds & Mr Tambourine Man!

Its faster than the Z2 and till one gets here I do not have any answers till I can get one hooked up and play with it.
 
I've got this in my wifes H2 and it is awsome.I was impressed enough got one for my MM but not installed yet.
 
Hey john have you found any other differences between the Z2 and Z3 other than quicker load time?
 
Jake we have not installed one yet. They showed up yesterday. I hope we get a report here on the board as a member is getting the first one.
