Less head movements, plus, as convenient the glove box is being where the factory display's located...i'm sure if someone could choose (whether if it's factory or aftermarket), they'd much rather have a display there instead of the glove box. Unfortunately, they don't make aftermarket decks with the LCD separated from the head unit itself. Otherwise, I'd go for the aftermarket one as well.
But i have to agree that the aftermarket stereo is a much better bang for the buck compared to the factory NAV. At the same time, we all have to agree the factory NAV looks much better than any after market decks out there.
Sorry I went on and on about the Sound system of the car and deviated from the real topic of this thread, please don't flame me for expressing my opinion. The 40th Anniversary Edition is a very nice looking car overall.

That's a good point about the location of an aftermarket unit with nav/DVD being lower in the console versus a factory nav ........ maybe a stock location stereo with a remote "heads up display"
