Damn, what a process to order this stuff, when not every store carries everything required.
I went with the Z1, don?t ask me why; however, I did prefer the all blue LED buttons, versus the green/blue on the D2. I did not go with the XM traffic monitor, due to further research. I talked with two people who have this feature, and say it is all but worthless when traveling across country. Locally, it sucks due to the fact that if it is an accident, by the time it is reported, the accident is cleared. So, I could not see the extra $$, and the extra $$ per month for something that I would never use locally, and not worth it for long trips.
Final order was (for those interested in purchasing):

AVIC Z1 Ordered from Comp-u-plus.com
$1519.95
$39.00 (Mack, 3-year warranty)
$33.39 Shipping
Total: $1539.19

ND-BC1 Camera/GEX-P920XM Unit Ordered from Etronics via Amazon.com website
$189.99 (Camera)
$89.99 (GEX-P920XM)
$11.35 shipping
Total: $291.33

Scosche GM1595B/Peripheral GMAH24B and GMAHCM Ordered from Cardomain.com
$15.95 (Scosche)
$144.00 (GMAH24B)
$31.95 (GMAHCM)
$4.95 (Antenna Adapter)
$2.00 Shipping
Total: $199.80

Z1-FC Circuit Flasher Ordered from Sminntec
$34.95
$4.00 shipping
Total $38.95

Total (not counting the Captain Morgan?s I have been sipping on for the past week trying to decide what to purchase) $2123.27

(Cannot find the remote anywhere online at this time. So, I?ll have to order it sometime in the future.)

I went with Peripheral due to the really dumb replies I received from Soundgate in regard to their Digistar adapter. Like I told the support people at both Peripheral and Soundgate, I need to understand how this adapter works, before I purchase it, even if everyone says it works. It is my nature to do this, and I can?t change. Inquiring minds have to know. Peripheral was reluctant at first, but later switched me over to engineering. Soundgate may make a great product, but their tech people are really stubborn about switching me over to engineering, so I gave up due to spending way too much time on this subject, and went with the Peripheral adapters.

I promise to take some photos during install, but don?t expect everything to be here by Friday for a weekend install. So, it will be the next weekend.

So, one last question to all you guys who have installed these units. IS THERE ANYTHING I'M FORGETTING (other than more Captain Morgan's)?

Sounds like you'll be busy with your install. Anxoiuus to see pics and hear comments. I'm already partial to Sirius. Is there anything similar to what you are installing that I could get Sirius with?

Yes, Pioneer offers a Sirius module that is used in place of an XM module.

Oh, that's dangerous information!
