Default Anybody Installed Aftermarket NAv radio in F150

Has anybody installed aftermarket Nav radio like the one in the link below to their F150?

If so how do you like it and how well is it intergrated?

I have the AVIC X930BT. Works great. Go here for my post on this.

Not sure what you mean by integrated, though.

Me did the Pioneer AVIC X920BT. Self-install. Nav sucks on it, but is usable of course, but I like the rest of what the unit does for me. BT is great as is the iPhone integartion both audio and video. I like to now play movies whilst driving down the roads. I just loaded Crash onto it (great movie). Nice unit. Thanks

Due to the Navigation option being no good through Ford, my dealer is arranging to have a Kenwood DNX7180 installed when it arrives. Hopefully I'll have the truck in 4 weeks(ish). It will have everything that the stock unit would have done (sync, touch screen, etc etc) , minus the backup camera. The audio shop did it on a previous model (F150) and I guess when they tried to use Ford's backup camera from the rear view mirror it came out fuzzy...and I can live with it in the mirror rather than paying to have a 2nd camera installed.

I actually like keeping my head up or the backup camera. Gives me a good scan pattern from side mirrors to rearview.

I decided against in-dash NAV in my 2010 for several reasons but in my 2007 I installed a Pioneer Avic-D3 and had great luck. The install will be slightly different (though honestly not a lot with the exception of the kit.

Here is a long write up with a lot of pictures of my install and accessories if you're interested.

Nice! Can you post pictures of your system or tell us about it? Who installed it? Yourself? Do you have a thread on it already, if so you can send me that direction. Thanks!
