Thats funny Elf, that was going to be my next question! How good is the Nav? I guess I have my answer! I too like my Garmin and wondered if the built in system was any good. Very convenient for sure.

Well I only know "one person" who to be able to get results .
I've only been able to program mine once or twice and it took a frustrating half hour .Even my son s and grandson had problems .I went on the different forums and discovered it was a common complaint .It's an $1800 option if purchased as a new option .Recently traveled to Florida and I used my Garmin with great success finding all the adult strip joints .Now the "one person" that I know is Canadian and Canadians have more patients than us south of the boarder ,:seeya:

Hmmmm.......can't find "adult strip joints" in my "points of interest''. Maybe your Garmin is newer than mine......or did you purchase it at The Stag Shop? Thanks for your input about the built in Nav. I prefer the look of the dash without it anyway.

LOL, I've used many navs and enjoy doing so. I don't find this one more diff than any of the others. From my experience it's reasonably easy to use and accurate.

I find the OEM Nav a very good system, but as someone pointed out, you have to learn how to use it. It is not as easy as the Garmin or TOM TOM, but it is just as good or better. It has great features once you learn them.
The reason I like it so much is that it ties in with the HUD, so the directions are always right there in your field of vision whenever a directional manuever is required.
The people that think the OEM Nav sucks, are the ones that won't take the time to learn how to use it correctly.

I was the same way, then the tutorial that is listed on this thread was available, easy to follow, and is easier to follow than the manual, although that's good as well.The Nav has it's own little perks, but once you learn the system, you will like it. Besides, not having to bring along a Garmin and find a place to put it is the bonus of learning the OEM Nav.
Good Luck, and hope you don't have too many sleepless nights

No ,if we weren't in the middle of another friggin blizzard I'd back the car out of the garage and take all the reading material plus my grandson and start working on it .After 5 years I guess it's time ,that'll be my winter/spring project .
A place for my Garmin is simple ,I ask my wife to hold it between her teeth --It serves a multi purpose .

Just received this exact kit last week from them. SUmmer project. One question, when I look at the supplied harness ( aftermarket- PT has it made by someone) the wiring gauges sure look light (thin). Anyone know the guage sizing on the OEM harness????
thanks Frank
