I did also change my headunit but had I known about the SAVV mirror prior to buying the Headunit, I would have kept my stock radio and just picked up a SAVV an Alpine Nav. I do have the Alpine Nav run to my Headunit but never use it. The SAVV has it's own speaker so you can still listen to your radio/cd and NAV at the same time as well as keeping your steering wheel controls. With the cash you save you can pick up the H-CAM and run that to the SAVV Mirror also. I find it priceless when parking and backing up to a trailer. If you do it, make sure you get the SAVV with 2 inputs. As soon as you put it in reverse the SAVV pops up with the H-CAM Picture!

Once again NJ, you're mesmerizing me with your techno-omnipotence.
What's a headunit?
I'm trying to figure out what kind of NAV to get as well. I keep hearing the the AVIC Z2 (has already replaced the Z1 at the only local shop to carry either) is the way to go, but I'm open to cheaper ideas if they work as well. If the Alpine thing is nearly as functional as the AVIc, I'd consider it. Does it help one navigate as well? Is it as easy to use? Is it voice only? What type of memory does it operate off of? CD? DVD?Hard drive? Those computer tapes Cap'n Kirk used to use on the Enterprise? Are there any downsides to it?
