Aftermarket Navi's

Yes the topic has been posted about a million times but I couldn't find my exact answer.
Anyone know of an aftermarket navi system that is a pop-up like the factory? I have an 07 g35 coupe with premium package.
I saw with some work you can get the factory one in there for older years but can you do the same for 07?
I was looking after aftermarket ones because they are cheaper.
Also didn't want to do the double din because it is so expensive with all the parts and don't want to lose dual climate function.
What are my options here.

Buying all of the parts to do an OEM navi isn't inexpensive either. You don't have to lose the dual climate control with the JDM parts. I never use my dual climate anyway even after making the JDM controller work.

You can also buy an OEM like kit from http://store.mp3car.com/category_s/53.htm and add something like a Garmin GVN 53 to it.

The least expensive navigation option is to get a portable unit and mount it in the compartment where the OEM navi is located.

Cool. But that website didn't have anything for '07

It seems like everything will cost me around the same price. I wish someone in my area did it before and can do an install for me.

Your 07 coupe is the same as the 05-06 coupes.

I thought I read somewhere that the Navi's changed in 07?

The OEM navi may have changed, but you don't have OEM navi. Your radio, bracket, and trim pieces are otherwise the same as the 05-06.
