Hi, i'm looking to buy a Navi system for my G, I was going to get the Avic-Z1 untill i saw this, anybody has this on their G? how does it comepare to other aftermarket navi units?? http://store.mp3car.com/ProductDetai...Code=DSH%2D009

 

Real nice product I give it a thumbs up review. A lot of memebers on here have that installed. Go check out the audio forums.

 

I was thinking about gettin this too, but I had some questions and couldn't find it when searching. That price is for the housing and the screen. I think you need the software and some sort of carputer to run it. i heard that there was an update on the screen for a new non-glare type, but never got the info on it. i was wondering also if the site was up and operating. I just gave up searching, but more info from someone who knows would be nice.

 

this is the audio forum Dee Dee Deeeeee

 

Maybe he meant search the audio forum, carlos.

 

This is the Audio, Video, Electronics forum, which means this post is totally appropriate.

For a quick answer: what you linked us to is a touchscreen only, that's it. So asking how it compares to an aftermarket nav unit is like saying: "How does this 15" Dell LCD monitor compare to a Garmin?"

You would need something hooked to the screen. That screen is generally used for in-car computing setups... which often include GPS applications. I'm a fan of computer-based GPS software over portable/aftermarket GPS hardware... but that's just me (and it is definately more expensive and harder in the long-run).

That being said, there are quite a few of us with that screen, myself included. For more targetted help, however, I'd post/ask your question inside the Car PC subforum.
