I've searched the site for awhile and most of the posts are pretty old regarding what after market NAV/DVD units you guys were installing. I have the 6CD monsoon unit now and I know I need the metra kit to hook up an aftermarket NAV unit. I know I need a double DIN unit and I'd like to get a NAV unit with a DVD player, blue tooth and an ipod connection or USB. I don't want to spend a ton. I saw a few people suggest Eclipse but they are way out of my price range. I've checked Crutchfield and Amazon but the reviews are always all over the place. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

 

I just installed a Kenwood Excelon DNX691HD my factory Nav dead I have the monsoon system as well. It looks factory

 

Thanks, I'll check it out. I saw a pioneer avic 5000nex that looks good too. How was the install with the monsoon? Did you just need to get the Metra harness?

 

I ordered it from cruchfield it need a mounting kit, wiring harness to work with the monsoon ant adapter. Call them there sent you up with anything you need

 

I've had the Pioneer Avic-Z2 and a newer Avic (can't remember the model #), but have loved them both. Install is not too bad at all, just remember to ground out the parking sensor wire so you can enter addresses on the fly.

 

What I did, and what I'd do again, is get a head unit that supports Mirrorlink/MHL and run your smart phone's nav apps (and other apps) on the head unit screen.
