BKLYNH2:
Forgot to mention something. I am also researching NAV units for our H2's (just traded min in after a year, and purchased four matching H2's for my company.) Like you, a week ago, I "knew what I wanted", but the more I research, the less I am satisfied... :-(
Anyway, I'll be happy to share my findings with you if you are interested. I am reluctant to ditch the (admittedly crappy) Bose system in my H2's JUST to get NAV. I don't want to give up the convenience of the steering wheel controls, plus, I use my OnStar personal calling feature several times a day. I am looking for the "sweet spot" in the price/performance ratio since I need to purchase 3 or four complete systems. Yes, I admit that I'm willing to spend more on MY unit than my employee's units - LOL.
Alpine makes a NAV-only unit which will fit in the "slot" occupied by the OnStar buttons (module behind, but re-locatable)... But - that unit is not touch-screen and reportedly is controlled mainly by a hand-held remote, which is not desirable (by me.)
Tomorrow, I'm going over to see Tim Duncan's H2 and then to a shop who is in the middle of a sound system/NAV mod on another H2. Reportedly, this shop does a lot of H2's. I believe this unit is going to have a Kenwood NAV unit. I saw it today, but they were just getting started, so by tomorrow afternoon, they should be pretty far along. Hopefully, I'll have more info then. Let me know if you want me to send you the results of my findings.
