Possibility for you guys with NAV issues

Got my crutchfield today on on the cover there was this really cool pioneer unit, 6.1" Touchscreen DVD,NAV,SAT,HD,I-PHONE-internet radio, Bluetooth with audio capabilities.

I'm attaching the AD for you guys with those NAV update issues. Maybe this unit would fit for you.

Won't work in mine (analog guages and to small an opening) but shortly after I got my car I replaced the head unit with a pioneer head unit that had Bluetooth and Bluetooth Audio. Coolest thing ever, the bluetooth audio works great with my cell. I select BT Audio, tell my phone to connect and play all my music from my phone right through the stereo. No wires to connect like I-Pod, and stereo controls the phone. Plus if I get a call it stops the music to answer the phone and starts again automatically when I'm done.

Also for those with the I-phones, it has that pandora internet radio which I use at home when I'm on the computer. Don't know if you guys are familiar with it but it kinda like custom music. You tell it what artist you like and it plays them and similar artists or types of music.

Seems like a really cool unit with the nav and everything else.

Things would be so much easier if we had enough space below our AUX row of buttons to put a double din unit like that Pioneer, oh would it ever! However, we have like a 1.5din, too large for a single din, but not enough room for that double. I hear great things about those Pioneers, and the s-typers have had some luck getting them installed in those cars.

Thankfully, there are a couple options for single din customers that play movie/audio DVDs, USB, HD radio, Ipod, bluetooth, AV out/in, etc. like the JVC AVX77, very cool (and the upgrade to my ADV49).

Oh well, I thought they were the double din, maybe that's just the newer nav units where they got rid of the analog gauges. I have the 1.5 din in mine down low, but I made an adapter to hold the single unit. Don't have a pic but I'll take one and post it.

Yah, I also did the single din... here's what mine looks like. I sure do wish there were enough room for a 6" or 7" screen in there, I'd do it in a heartbeat.

Here's mine, I made an aluminum housing to mimic the angles of the original stereo.

Nice unit by the way, what is is?

They definately incorporated your NAV into the dash, no hope there.

I still like my analog guages better than that screen in the midle of the dash.
