Can Navi be installed?
#2
If you're looking for Nissan Navi....its possible but it will cost you so much $$ , it will make your head spin. You best option is to get an aftermarket setup, Like Alpine, Pioneer, and others make. Nissan Navi has too many parts integrated into the car, that its not just as easy as buying a Navi unit.

2-3 gs. wow, that's a lot.
I say go for in-car computer (actually, something I'm working on right now). Cool features: you get to install hardware you want
DVD playback, mp3, divx, navi, obd-2 reading - anything a computer can do. You're also better off installing a 7" VGA touchscreen (Lilliput, Xenarc)
There's a great website (forums) for these things: www.mp3car.com A lot of info
Best part is the price. You can get an good computer for around $500-600, plus around $350 for the touchscreen and you're ready to roll. In-dash touchscreen is $530 but hey, it's worth it(www.digitalww.com). GPS is about $100 (Earthmate - $120 at BestBuy).

If driving directions are the main reason for you wanting navi besides it just being a cool gadget, you should look into just buying a software prog. for navigation + a gps "mouse" (total for ~$150) -- it's an effective & cost effective solution if all you care more about directions/mapping than having an OEM navi look. Check out gpspassion.com for forums w/more info.
I have Routis 2004 (for laptop) which I got for $70 and a GPS mouse for $50. Been everywhere w/it and never got lost. I'm so dependent on it now...sooo much better than mapquest

Thanks for all of the advice. Since Nissan's Navi looks out of the question, I guess I could get an aftermarket unit, however, I wouldn't want to lose my Nakamichi CD700 head unit. It is a $1,700 unit. Maybe I could relocate the Nak to the lower din slot and install a flip up monitor on top connected to some sort of navi unit in the trunk.
