I have been doing some research into after-market navigation since the option won't be available until late this year. I found the Pioneer AVIC-D1. It is Double DIN which should fit well in the H3. It has Navi, XM, a rear view camera option, touchscreen, AM/FM, and a two CD players one for the Navi DVD, and one for regular CD's (The Navi DVD will not play movies sorry). So far this is the only system with all the options. Price ranges from $1299-1800. Who else was planning to get the after-market navi? I'm not sure how natural it will look with the silver center console in the H3 though.

H3 Buyer to be?

I was looking at that as well for the H3. I really like the Eclipse better, and the Kenwood version is cheaper. I wish there was a color available like the newer Alpine CD players, that color would match the best!

the eclipse and the kenwood only come with sirus radio, not XM.

Doesn't matter, I am almost 100 percent positive that if you get XM in your H3 and you decide later to add the aftermarket deck like any of those, you would need a new XM or Sirius receiver that matched the brand. And from what I have seen the MX and Sirius are very close...

you shouldn't have to purchase a new receiver

That looks like a very nice unit Firm. I may have to look into that one.

you will need new XM reciever the one in the H3 will not work with the aftermarket nav system.
