brakedrift12 · 04-02-2010, 10:40 PM

long story short. my 370Z has no factory navigation... so i want one.

is there any good in-dash navigation that supports all goodies??

If there is one you like the most, what is it? and what would u recommend to other?

any details would be great help to me

thanx

i got a pioneer bt700 i like it...
the navi on it is kinda hit and miss sometimes, but it still gets you where you need to go.

Just out of curiosity. How often do you really use your navi? I use my Garmin maybe once every couple of months.

I just ordered a Kenwood DNX6960 which is enroute. Having researched everything, my feeling is that it has the best navigation (Garmin) with all the options available. In my situation, I've ordered the steering wheel control harness, traffic receiver, Sirius receiver, backup camera, and iphone harness. The unit also streams music over bluetooth, controls an iphone with the harness attached, includes Parrot Bluetooth (one of the best). Overall, it's the whole ball of wax. There is a DNX9690 model that adds some fluff like 3D buildings in the nav, DD 5.1 surround sound, etc but it costs about 2/3 more than the 6960.

I'll post a nice review and video of usage once it's installed. Going in on April 17.

.....I think Garmin has the best Nav, so I'd go Kenwood too if I were going for an integrated unit. I really use Nav infrequently, so a $125 Portable Garmin is fine for my use..

In my truck I had a Pioneer, I was very happy with the product

Mike@Blackline · 04-04-2010, 09:38 AM

pioneer units are the best in the market. without knowing if they fit in there or not, id recommend the pioneer f series

eric3621 · 04-04-2010, 10:35 AM

THis is why I won't buy a car without factory nav. It just looks so much classier...

function over form IMO; id rather have all the functions of the aftermarket, even if it doesnt look OEM. the cost of navigation would pay for an aftermarket unit plus a decent sound system.
