If you are asking me about my nav unit - it is an '06 OEM H3 unit that I had in my '07 and now put in my Alpha. PAC made the video interface and I added a back-up camera.

2,700 miles on my Alpha and getting an average of 15.4MPG combined city/highway driving with the 315/75-16 Bighorn Maxxis tires.

Used it to pull a full U-Haul 6'x12' box trailer from RI to NJ and couldn't tell I was hauling anything - except when I looked in the rear-view mirror and thought "Who the hell is tailgating me ... Oh yeah" [:@]

Camping in the Catskills Columbus day - will finally try it in the mud and up the mountain.

No, Doc, I was asking about Saywhat's nav unit that's in the pictures he posted the link for...

But since you mention it, how's the backup cam working? And how much did the video interface and cam run you? I have an '06 with Nav and would love to add a backup cam through the nav unit.

JD,
I think it is great.
PAC borrowed my Navigation unit for a few months to develop the video interface since ours is different from that of other GM oem nav units. As part of the deal, they gave me a great deal on the interface unit - so I don't know what retail might be.
Jesse Armstrong of PAC (Jessea@pac-audio.com) http://www.pac-audio.com1 (800) 854-3133 is the person there who knows the deal.
The camera I bought and paid much more than I should have because I didn't want to wait and bought it at a store instead of on-line.

Overall, I am very happy - I have OnStar, XM, Navigation and a back-up camera all work well together and all wrapped up in one. You could do the same with aftermarket components but you already have the Nav unit, so try calling Jesse.

Hi I pulled out the stock Navigation and thought I would try out this Eclipse Unit. It has a built in Detachable Tom Tom Navigation , Bluetooth with a jack for the Ipod on the front of the unit. I love it so far! The radio sounds awesume with the Monsoon system too! Sorry about the slow reply.
