Default Suggestions for a Navigation Unit

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.

Kenwood DVD/IPOD/Nav units are great. Garmin GPS included. You can get last years model for around $700 if you look. I have the DNX5180 and love it. Infrared backup camera. IPOD and Iphone plug in directly and are controlled by the head unit. Garmin GPS is right on and updatable. Hope this helps.

You might do better to post this question on the "stereo/audio" section of this forum. Maybe even do a search on GPS in that section. It has been discussed before.

OK thank you I did not notice the stereo section. Will try that.

Is your DNX5180 sirius compatible?

Yes. I believe you may need to purchase an adaptor but my Sirius is hooked up in my work car so don't hold me to it.
