i have seen alot of seperate threads on navigation and alot of people with questions on what systems work best and general questions. hopefully this thread can help some fitfreakers out with there navi purchases. questions and answers are always welcome. this thread is for all versions of navi indash and dash mounted. also likes and dislikes are always helpful.

heres my setup. an eclipse avn-5510 in a metra kit.




the eclipse is dvd based so its not exactly the fastest system out there but its quick enough if i miss a turn to find a new route before i get there. its touch screen so its easy to adjust whatever i need. i had it installed at circuit city within a couple hours (i wasnt really wanting to get involved with all the wiring). my antenna is located behind my regular antenna and it is magnetic so it just sits there. any questions please ask. hopefully this thread will be of some good help to everyone.

I'll take pics of mine shortly. It's a basic AVIC-D3 setup w/ a Metra install kit. Nothing too crazy.

 

jd- damn, that nav looks great. but wats up with that wind up coil wire? dont tell me that's your radar detector. lol need to hardwire it.

 

Does this count as a NAV set up?



Actually I have a Garmin Nuvi 660.


Nothing fancy like the Eclipse you have. (Your set up looks good btw )

 

hey, i thought suction cups are illegal in CA?

 

only if you use them to stimulate your anus/sphincter.

 

Its like the window tint thing. If the cop wants to be an ass, they will pull you over for it. But they wont go out of their way to get you just because of it. Just to be safe, mine sits on top of the dash and not stuck on the windshield when I use it.

 

haha. yea thats my Valentine 1. i just got it a couple days ago and i havent had the time to do hard wire it yet.


thanks for the comments on my navi setup. lets keep it going guys

 

I have my iPhone with a mount in my car right now which i use for music, movies and directions. It will hold me over untill i get my in-dash. I would post a pic but it does not meet the criteria lol.

dont worry about it Tyler post it up. haha. im trying to get as many diferent models and configurations as possible to show everyone whats out there.

 

I have the panasonic strada. i love it!!!

 

gotcha. yah, there's a lot of weird laws out there.

 

cool. i got one of those on my other car. nothing beats the arrows.

 

My navi system is in my phone..

 

im waiting for my bluetooth adaptor now. i had to order the kit, the sirius kit, and the ipod link cause circuit city didnt have the ones i wanted . they said for a price they would install them though. figure that one out. those greedy bastards. haha. that will pretty much be the end of my Ice for awhile. maybe some free air subs later and some new door speakers but that will come later.

 

thats nice i really wanna do this at some point what is that light on your car by the gas gauge was that a low gas light or do you have a check engine on ?

 

you cant have suction cups on your windows?.... are you serious?
that seems so weird

 

Its not all that strict i have mine on my little window up front.

no ..you are aloud to have radar detectors. ive gotten pulled over plenty of times to know. (lucky for me ...no tickets!) but i have my garmin 680 and magellean 4250.(i normally use the 4250) and my radar detector sitting there on my dash...they never say anything about it.

i dont get pulled over for speeding, i usually get pulled over for stupid shit like loud music, or exhaust.

 

I have a Garmin nuvi 360 mounted to my dash, it works great.
