Who has got aftermarket navigation in their vehicles?

I am looking to get a new stereo head unit with navigation integrated but not sure which one I should go with. Also, I would like to have one that also has the option for a wireless b/u camera that I can mount on my holiday trailer, and s-video or HDMI inputs for the laptop.

I know there are some portable nav units out there but I really don't need another screen in my truck. I already have a mini laptop, sat radio reciever and the in dash head unit-that's enough!!! I may get my sirius in the head unit as well, but can anyone tell if the new head units have seek alerts in them like the portable sat recievers do? I like to know when my favorite tunes are on!

I'm lost when it comes to choosing this stuff so am wondering what you guys are using.

Alpine, Pioneer and Kenwood

I am running all Alpine with nav and sat, you can get backup cams too. And I find they have much better sound with and without using the pre-outs.


IVA-W505/P1 is one of the newest ones that has it all. But most seem to like the IVA-W505 and get the NAV that can be takin out be a handheld with its Dock 'n' Roll NAV set up.

I personally have had both kenwood and alpine. The kenwood unit is by far the best. it is a double din (takes up all the space from the stock deck). The kenwood uses the garmin nav and from the different versions i have used, the garmin is by far the easiest and has the most options. depending on what unit you purchase the satalite radio is enclude. I have the kenwood dnx 5140 and have had not a single complaint, the alpine just didnt cut it for me
