Default stock vs aftermarket nav

Hey guys, Im new to the forum and my a4, but not new to the car/aftermarket scene. I snagged a nice a4 and have played around dropped it and a few other minor mods, but i really miss having built in nav. Im looking for expertise, money is no object and i want something that works well and looks good too.

i found http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/05-08...ht_8087wt_1130 on ebay, is this the correct stock unit?

any suggestions and advice would be appreciated

I put an aftermarket Pioneer touch screen unit in my car, then my wife got me the navagation add on for christmas. After all is said and done, running all of the wires and antenna's, I looked at about a 5 hour install. I did all of the work myself.

What I liked about the Pioneer unit, is that I can change the colors of the button back-light as well as the screen default color. It really looks like it's a factory setup because it matches so well.

Anyway, Here's a quick shot to show you what it looks like. Keep in mind that this is in heavy sunlight, so the screen doesn't appear as clear as it really is. This was watching a movie. The sunlight is also hiding the red back-light of the buttons.



And here's a video that I made to explain the install to a few people. It also shows the screen a bit better.
