OEM or Aftermarket Navi for 2010 Fit Sport?

I am looking to put a navigation/bluetooth/iPod Double Din into my 2010 Fit Sport. I need to swap out my original dash unit and purchase an appropriate system with all three features.

Should I go directly to Honda and have them install the stock navi that comes with the newer Fit's (Can they even do that?)

OR

Should I purchase an aftermarket system and dash setup? ( I am not too keen on installing this myself, i would have to have someone install it for me)

I am open to all opinions and suggestions and feedback!

Thanks

just go aftermarket. it can look factory if you use the factory nav bezel and a pilot trim for it. do a quick search.

I have heard of some problems with aftermarket dashes that do not fit properly or the colors don't match. As far as aftermarket systems go, does anyone have suggestions?

i was looking at Pioneer, but other than that I don't have much to go by.

so you would allow yourself to be charged over 1500 to buy and install oem nav?

Settle for a good branded double din aftermarket, and have a local stereo shop install for you

I actually had no idea that was what Honda charged to install their Navi. That is absurd, I will be staying far away from that. Now I just need to pick out a unit that suits me well. Thank you!
