Where do you go to see the new tC pics?

 

Man, wtf! You can buy an aftermarket deck/player/nav for less than what they are charging. Heck you can pick up a garmin for under 500! I won a garmin, kicks **** but I would never pay 2k for a nav! That is a good chunk of change that SHOULD be put towards a nice turbo!

 

Humn... I like the 3.0 too much. Thinking about addeding the navigation.

 

Agree.

But that's the "standard" price for a factory installed OEM nav for most cars, $1.5 ~ $2k.

But there are pros and cons for both portable after market GPS vs OEM GPS.

OEM: intergrated into the car nicely, no messy wires, no sucking plates on the windshield, nothing update download etc etc. And people say it is more accurate because it can read the actual speed from the car and that helps pin point current location. But the con is map/software update is basically non-existant for OEM units.

after market: portable, a lot cheaper, map/software updates are much easier to get. Con is it may need an external anntena if one doesn't want the GPS to be part of the dash board or windshield (or in CA, it's agaist the law to stick a GPS on windshield).

I like the after market portable solution too. I use a garmin i3, very compact so I can put it in the iPod holder we get with out tC's. I like it this way, compact and very portable. I can put it in my jeans pocket to bring it with me when I go hiking, haa.

 

ditto that ditto.
