Has anyone installed a Double Din/GPS radio without hacking up the non - reversal things I've been reading about?
I tried to do this

Fit well, but couldn't wire it up correctly.
If i go the double din route it will be a touch screen,gps, all the bells and what not.
I don't think I'll ever purchase another in-dash GPS.
In-dash models tend to cost more than $100 a year to update. Your garden variety Nuvi? $100 for a life-time of updates.
I actually agree with you here. I used to be Anti-suction cup, so I purposely went out and bought daily drivers with factory Navigation. I found that it quickly becomes outdated and expensive to update.
A garmin is $100 and I just use it when I need it.
If i'm in a bind, the Iphone works just as well.
Next car won't have GPS. Saves me $3K or so right there
Here's the wrinkle... The one that I have in the Suburban is a Kenwood with integrated Garmin GPS. They want $149 for the annual update.
$199 here from Infiniti for my Update DVD's. I'm still running on 2006 Maps, but I bet i can snag a used DVD on ebay for cheap.
Good points, ...if i go with a double din with everything but gps, then it will save a ton of cash. I already have a megellan gps that works pretty good.
As far as function with keeping it in the lower slot, below A/C bezel, im looking at the ones with any major buttons on the left side rather having lots on the lower bottom edge. Did some tests around the shifter last night and left side physical buttons and left side screen buttons will work great. Gonna research some video reviews on these products to get a ballpark of what is on the market.
