If you dont get one of the few that have dual cd drives (one for the navi disk) or the ones with the hard drive, then you end up having to buy the external navi unit also which is costly (around 800-1k extra) and it also takes up more space in your vehicle. If navi is important to you then i'd recommend one of the head units that does everything out the box. Suggestions include the Pioneer Z1 (which i have and love), the Eclipse AVN5495, or AVN 6610.

Some other good choices would be AVN5500 and the Pioneer AVIC D-3, which are both on sale right now at sounddomain for around 1k.

You can search all these products on price grabber for prices.

I'm sure others can chime in with their suggestions also.

 

ahhh ok makes sense...i prefer to go ahead all the way and get the full mamma jamma so might as well get navigation as well

 

bump for more pics and good brands

 

That interior shot gorgeous

 

I just had the Eclipse 6610 put in last week with the Ipod Adapter running into the cubby hole in the dash, and Bluetooth capabilities.

Unfortunately, they used a 2005 kit instead of a 2007 kit to put it in the dash, so its not as flush as it should be.

Once I have it fixed tomorrow, I'll try and post some pics...

This comes with an external navi unit which could easily be installed under a seat. I mounted mine in one of the pockets behind the seats.

I LOVE the Navigation feature.

Kit available from Crutchfield for $1200. The picture in the Crutchfield listing distorts the size of the external navi unit. It's about 4" X 4" and about 1" high.

i started a thread around here somewhere about it.

 

Alpine IVA-W205 and a TME-M770 monitor.

 

 

Pioneer headunit I brought back with me from Japan - CD / MP3 / MiniDisk / WMA . . . sounds great, and NOBODY else has it! (at least that I've ever come across).

 

My contribution to the list...

Panasonic CQVD6503U - Double DIN, DVD/ CD player with Ipod and Navi interface...

Got it super cheap; under $500

 

Hey leemik, can you post a close up of your dash kit and headunit, does your dash kit fit two single dins? Thats what it looks like to me, let me know. Thanks.

 

How is the Kenwood DX7100 doesnt that have navi inside? or you need to buy a standalone unit?

 

^^ I believe the DX7100 requires the KNA-G510 in order to utilize the navigation function....

 

nope. dnx7100 has built-in nav. no add on needed, unless you want real-traffic information which is an xm radio add on.

 

what e-brake is that and where did u get it?

 

 

Hey leemik what kind of seats are those? are they oem seat covers?

btw you got one of the sickest interiors
