Thanks for all the help/links! The Pioneer seems to look the most like a factory unit. Most of the others have very small buttons, if any, and rely on the touchscreen for almost everything. Most factory systems, even the ones that use touchscreens still have good old fashioned *****, which help the function map interface respond more intuitively. All the units that have been suggested will do the job just fine, but I just don't have the patience I once had to learn how to use an over-engineered device. I just want to pick my car up from an install, get in, and use it without ever opening the 200 page manual. If that means that I won't ever figure out how to use it to turn my coffee maker on, so be it!

Thanks all! Any night pics of installs would kick ***!

 

Pioneer AVIC-Z2 here, in my B7. Looks and sounds great, lots and lots of bells and whistles including BlueTooth and XM Traffic. Very happy with it.

BTW, if you want a stock navi after all of this, I have one for sale.

 

Does anyone know if I need stock nav to make nav+ work?

 

So after all of this,...do any of the aftermarket link up with the center display like the stock ones do? (doubt it)

 

you still have the stock one for sale? It has BT and XM right?
let me know.
