A/C GPS,Navigation

[DotGa]

Hi guys, I am looking to buy a new navigation expect stock one (I went to dealership and I was asked $1300),so I need some suggestions or recommendations. I did some researches but that just made me more confused. Which one is good for a/c?

I have a 2012 a/c 2.5s with premium package(?) which includes Bose and back-up camera.

I do not want to lose any functions of package.

Please give me a good suggestion.

Have a good day

I hear a lot of good things about Alpine and Pioneer. Check out crutchfield.com, they have very detailed info on their products and usually lots of customer reviews. Sometimes not the cheapest, but in terms of researching products they are very good.

Most double-din navi units will have a rear view camera output, mine does. I have a pioneer avic-x930bt and love it. Keep in mind that you will be spending $500-$1300 on a good aftermarket unit, but usually they are more powerful, have more features, and have greater expandability than the stock unit. Also, tell the person installing it to by-pass the parking brake wire to you or your passengers can edit the navi settings and watch dvds while driving down the highway instead of having to put the car in park.

here are a few pics of mine....non-bose and non-premium ppackage btw.

I would also recommend alpine or pioneer. I've always used pioneers but am interested to try alpine soon as well.

I dislike the stock nav system quite a bit. Working on getting Google maps setup on the stock system, I'll let you know how it goes.
