Nav System Recomendations, Need help!

[ccorces1]

I’ve been working on this new SUV for my wife’s birthday at the end of the month, almost done after a year of agony! I’m just finishing up with the interior and other accessories and wanted to know if anyone had experience w/ in-dash navigation systems? Any suggestions/ideas would be really helpful for me.

pioneer has great stuff and BMW/phillips stuff is really nice too.

i've heard really great things about the Pioneer on various websites and magazines, do you have one or know anyone who does that might be able to give first-hand experience?

We have 2 pioneer and 2 BMW units. They are VERY nice.

so i hear, any particular features that stand out on the Pioneer, i'm definitely leaning in that direction as of right now

I only use the pioneer. I can ask my buddy which one he likes better. You can have up the BMW unit. But the pioneer is nice, voice command, etc. I played with it three night in a row when we put on in the company RV. So I really like that unit a lot.

very cool, yeah i actually braved the crowds this weekend and went out to best buy to talk to some people about the systems and it seemed pretty clear that the Pioneer was the way to go. needless to say i didn't do much else all weekend but play with my new AVIC-NI, it has some amazing navigation features but the iPod capability, voice activation and DVD compatibility are incredible and so fun to play with!

I did that for 3 nights as well. It is nice for sure.
