Which Navi should I get?

Sup guys & gals?
I am looking to get in-dash Navigation in my car.
I have an Eclipse 5425 headunit and am a Sirius subscriber.
So, which Navi unit do you guys suggest?
Thanks
Manoj

well I would say go with the eclipse since you already have the sirius the piece is the avn 5935 or something like that it is a double din unit they also make a single din unit that appears to be pretty nice. The verdict around here seems to be eclipse then pioneer and every other brand does not matter when it comes to navi so try that out for starters. Here is a link for eclipse http://www.eclipse-web.com/avn5495-index.html

i would also say the AVN5435 as well but hey im pretty biased. Eclipse now ownz my life. I had actually had the pioneer D1 in my car for about 6 hours and i took it out because 2 out of the 3 places i entered in the nav it gave me wrong directions. so after that i was completely fed up. Eclipse for life!!!

Yes I have them in stock. The first Org member to get one will pay $1900 installed. Provided they leave detailed feedback about it.

I had bought a headunit from them for my wifes car and it came without the harness so I tried to send it back for another unit and they made me jump through hoops to get it done. It was the harness that connects to the head unit. Then the unit that they finally sent to replace it was doa. May be it was just my luck. i normally go to a shop here where I live and I tried to get it off the internet and got burned so I may just be 1 out of million.

If you have family out here, then they can just purchase it. No need for you to come all the way here.

$1560 and $1960 installed.

$1510 and $1910 uninstalled.

Keep in mind the 3 year warranty and the theft coverage only apply if dealer installed.
