Good job on the install though, patience pays off!

the dealership will require the premium ($2000) package for the navi addon (another $2000 = $4000) total. to go with an aftermarket unit (ex pioneer, eclipse) it'd be around 1500, and you would need the skyline double din conversion which is around 400, so it would cost about $2000. and, the thing about aftermarket nav units is that they don't have the "3d view" (correct me if i'm wrong)
i'm gonna do this... i hope.

Factory navi will add about $1000 to the resale value of the car on KBB. Adding aftermarket navi, in most cases, won't increase the value of the car at all, and in some cases, will actually decrease the value of the car.
So, in the short term, aftermarket navi may be a lower cost, but in the long run, when resale value is factored in, OEM navi is clearly the better method from a financial stand point.
