the reason why i would want one is because of the SSS package - i want my amps and subs to work as well when i get my nav unit, and i don't want to swap the entire system out.
parts .net a call..

Maps that come on the factory nav unit are based on map data from 2005. Mitsu has not released an updated map set yet. It is scheduled for sometime this summer. Cost for updated maps will be in the $200 - $300 ballpark and you will not be able to get the update for free.
All the above info came from a thread in the audio sub forum.

That's some serious mod money... to have something to tell you how to get somewhere?
Navigation systems are only useful when going somewhere far away. A simple $400 aftermarket one will suffice, unless you like it to be integrated into your car.

Fourth, and BEST deal going, sold for $709.00 (24 bids)

The deals are out there man, you just have to be patient and do the work/research. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Sometimes the refurbished ones are a good deal if the problem was a button or something but sometimes they are hacked up by a local electronics repair shop and crap out. It's a gamble I won't take again after being burned previously.

I say buy an aftermarket headunit and save that extra money for mods. I have the factory navi and its not the best thing out there. Its nice and goes with the whole interior of the car but just doesn't work as good as I thought it would. (Navi not the music server)

I think its really worth it.....for the amount of stuff it can do, its OEM and it has a music server is awesome. You will pay more for aftermarket brands that do less and some of these brands are crap anyway. The Navi is Rockford Fosgate too

It's definitely NOT worth 2200. Aftermarket has ones just as nice.
In my opinion, the actual navigation part of it really sucks. Entering addresses and POIs is such a pain. It's like they did zero usability testing.
