Navigation System Help

[BigJohnson]

first i'd like to say hello all nice to meet u! i'm new in town and i'm seeking some advice for my 2004 G35x. mine did not come with the stock navigation system so i was planning to have it installed by the dealer however i have heard that the stock system kinda sucked... and the stock bose system i know sux so my question to u guys is what should i do about getting a navigation system? is there a nice aftermarket one that any of u might reccomend? also if u have suggestions about what i should do about my bose system i would appreciate that, i'm not looking for a serious base pumping system just something better than stock since i'm sure they are gonna blow soon lol.... thanx in advance!!

You should realize that it would be quite expensive to install a factory nav system into a G. The main wiring harness under the dash is quite different and would need to be replaced. Wiring harnesses from the OE are quite pricey. Tack on the actual nav equipment and it becomes easily cheaper just to find a G with the Nav already installed.

The cheapest/easiest option will likely be to get an aftermaket nav unit.

thanx ckwik, that was pretty much what i thought u would say.... i am very new to all this... so is there a certain type of aftermarket nav system you would reccomend? keep in mind i'm not interested in one of thos 100$ stick on your windshield with a suction cup nav systems lol thats ghetto! i'm talkin about something that would be installed in the dash.... with a flip up screen like the stock

The dealer will actually not install the factory navigation to a vehicle that didnt come equipt with it to begin with, I have asked. I've seen people just get that dash navigation, I think its a Alpine or Avic I dont know, but those seem like a call to get your car broken into.

thank u zozoka, so i should buy an alpine? now i should tell u i would never attempt to install such a thing myself... i was planning to let professionals do that assuming such people even exist..... have any of u guys ever done such a thing? and where would u buy alpine stuff besides the internet.... like what retailers?
