What would be the best bet for an in dash navigation unit. I have a 2008 XLT with a the stock am/fm, 6 cd changer, ipod, and sirius. I want to keep my sirius radio but most aftermarket nav units I find are not compatible. I also do not want to have to add to much (antennas, etc.). Is there a unit that is compatible with my current Sirius. Any suggestions would be great, I am on a limited budget as well. Thanks.

as far as a double din/single din flip out unit with nav, kenwood is the best unit on the market right now..there navigation is simply the easiest to use, fastest and best on the market, not to mention their units are flawless..they are a little pricey but worth every penny and then some

I'm partial to the Kenwoods as well. Quick performance other long boot up time, only thing necessary to see would be a bluetooth mic and a satellite antenna. If on a budget I would get a nicer 1 year old model than a base 2011. Update the gui and maps to the newest.

I'm pleased with my Pioneer AVIC X-920BT...does a little bit of everything including Pandora radio.

I've been looking at kenwoods. My current satellite antenna would not work with a kenwood unit? Does the nav antenna have to be located on the outside of the vehicle?

I have the pioneer also.. My antenna is mounted inside the dash some where.. I only use about 20% of its features.. It has the IPOD connector, SD drive, 2 USB ports and a jack.. Had it now for two years no issues..

Now will my current Sirius work with a pioneer or do I have to buy a new Sirius receiver made specifically for pioneer. Thanks.

Regardless of which deck you go with you will need to buy the corresponding Sirius tuner, you can use the factory antenna though and hide the gps antenna under the top of the dash, that way you will have all the functionality and not see anything extra

In addition to built-in navigation capabilities, the new double-DIN AVIC-Z120BT features a large motorized 7-inch WVGA hi-resolution touch screen display, a 3D graphics accelerator, DVD playback, built-in Bluetooth1 for hands-free calling and music streaming, USB connectivity2 for iPod/iPhone connectivity, micro SD card slot, back-up camera input and is SIRIUS XM3 satellite and HD Radio4 ready.

For the AVIC-Z120BT are you required to use the provided microphone or can it be wired to the factory installed microphone? Can it also be installed where the steering wheel controls are still functional?

The unit looks awesome, however, I would not to see a microphone on my roof nor do I want to have useless buttons on my steering wheel. What (if any) navigation units are compatible with the aforementioned factory equipment?
