Aftermarket Navi?

If you do a search on this site you will find a DIY post on installing a Garmin GVN navigation system that wires direclty to the AUX in your sound system.
I installed the Garmin GVN 53 a few months back and it works great. The only con is that you have to go AUX to use the nav so you can't listen to the radio while using the navigation on your display.

Among a few other little things, you'd have to replace the steering wheel as it has the buttons to make using voice command much easier. You'd also have to replace the buttons beneath the LCD screen.
If you went with a 3rd party navi system and went with the excellent DIY write up which shows how to hook it up to your LCD screen, I'd strongly suggest buying a navi system with a built in hard drive and a remote that way you can use that to hold lots of songs and use the remote as a very easy way to change songs.
Anyway, welcome to Driver, enjoy the G. I've had mine for over a year and whenever I engage in "spirited driving" it still puts a smile on my face.

There is also the Kenwood CarPortal system that you could look into. You can mix and match the parts for what you want to do. I don't remember if I found it on here or on mygfrenzy, but there was a discussion about it. They have a screen that will fit perfectly in the factory location and it is a touchscreen. Then you just buy everything else seperate i.e nav, ipod, processor. This will also help out if you plan on doing an aftermarket speaker setup. It will also still work with the factory applications. So you will still see the maintenance schedules, MPG and all that other stuff. Im not on my computer right now, but once i get to it, ill find the link and post it on here.
