In-Dash Navigation Units

by **Smoothro** » Thu Jul 27, 2006 10:17 am

I am looking into getting a double-din in-dash navigation system. One of my requirements for the system is that it be compatible with the NavTraffic service because I live in Atlanta and want to be able to avoid some of these traffic jams. The Pioneer AVIC-D2 seems to be the most probable unit for me, even though its biggest downfall IMO is the fact that it does not include a DVD player. The other major contender is the Kenwood P-NAV6019
DDX-6019 + KNA-G510 Multimedia Navigation Combo Package. I like that unit better as far as looks go, but the navigation software doesn't seem to be as comprehensive as Pioneer's. I wanted to know if anyone has any pros/cons regarding any of these units or any reccomendations for other units. Thanks

I don't know if the unit is compatible with the service you talk about...but if so it can be a great deal...it is now 1800$ !!!

I definitely want a double-din unit because I want the space to be completely filled up, but thanks for the offer on th N-2. I do like the Eclipses, but unfortunately, they aren't compatible with XM or the NavTraffic updates

I'm not sure if this was thought about already, but why don't you get the pioneer avic-z1. Double din, 7" screen, blue tooth, can work with xm nav traffic. Has a samll hard drive in it. And its probably around the same price as you'd be paying for an eclipse.

p.s. if you end up with a pioneer I have a navtraffic brain with all wires for sale.

I looked at the Z1 as well. First of all it would run me about $600 more than the D2. Also, I have heard that the Z1 has a rather long boot time so start up, and that wasn't too appealing. How much for the navtraffic piece? I am leaning towards the D2 a little.

depending on shipping I can do 100-120

yeah the z1 is way over priced, but IMO for the options you get and the improved interface over the d or n models I think its worth it. PLus I heard the z1 was the easiest of all of them to bypass.
