I like it too...looks futursitc. But the more I think about it, the stock orangy theme of the older Navs matches the interior amber lighting. This new navi matches accord freaks interior!
You can have this too, just change the rom drive (assuming it is firmware). Hopefully the connections in the back of the rom are still the same or else youll be pulling and re routing crimps.

I downloaded and browsed through the new '06 Navi manual and was blown away by the number of enhancements. Wow! I want an upgrade very badly! 
Here are just some of the enhancements I've noted:
- New GUI/Theme (obviously).
- More zoom (to 1/32 mile).
- Ability to adjust Birdview angle.
- Multiple split Screen modes (wayyy cool).
- Persistant Clock (it's always showing!).
- Able to access 'GPS info' and 'Where am I?' from the main INFO screen.
- Too many others to list!!!
I also noticed external functions such as Radio Control, Voice Recoqnition, Bluetooth and even the Tire Pressure Monitor were not supported for the G35 model. This is encouraging and something I had prayed for just before cracking the '06 manual. The implications is that no additional signals/lines and electronics were added for the '06 G35 NAV system. So maybe, just maybe, there is a glimpse of hope for a possible upgrade, which will surely require a firmware update and the new DVD database disc at the minimum. Some of you will readily point out the link/thread stating 6.x and 7.x are not compatible. That is to be expected w.o. a proper firmware update. If however, the mainboard inside the new NAV has departed drastically from the '05 and earlier model, then we are all SOL.
Does anyone have the '06 service manual handy? My personal archive is only up to '05. I'd like to verify there were indeed no additional lines and boxes implemented for the new NAV system.
Chao,
