Aftermarket Navi Systems? Anyone got one?

Hey guys, this summer I'm looking at possibly adding a touch screen navigation system to my lancer but I'm not exactly which ones a good choice to go with or what dash kit to use either because I've heard good things about a few but also horror stories about others so I was just wondering has anyone added an aftermarket navi system here and what kind and pics if possible, thanks guys

Search the lancer section under electronics section. Lots of pics and info.

I personaly run the pioneer AVIC 700BT. Never had a problem with it for 3 years now. Great navi, fast and easy and it even comes with bluetooth hands free calling if you dont have the bluetooth feature in your car.

I also have one of these. I really like it.

I installed some hacked software so you can adjust the nav and sound settings while moving. The hack also speeds the system up and raises the sensitivity of the screen which helps during the winter. Check out the Avic411 forums

This sparked my interest.

I have all the steering whel controls including the hands free for cell, can you keep all of these with a aftermarket navi system?

I was planning on going "used" OEM but if after market allows me to keep all my controls then it will be the better choice for my wallet.

Not sure lol but Ive been looking at both the Scoshe dash kit and the JDM Dash kit but I know the JDM dash kit is something like $250 but its basically the same as the stock OEM one and apparently it fits nicely with the dash. So Im looking at both dash kits trying to figure out which one I like more lol
