Has anyone installed an aftermarket GPS Nav? Can you share your experience?
I have a few considerations:
1. In-dash unit with flip-up screen replaceing the
current factory stereo. Between Alpine, Kenwood, and Pioneer, I like the Pioneer units for its value and functions (touch screen, remote, and voice controlled). The only down side is that none of the units above matches the red illumination of the MINI. The advantage is they all have relatively fast search/reroute time because of they're DVD based. Also the screen can be used for DVD, reverse camera, Playstation, etc..
2. DVD based system with a screen mounted under the toggle switches in the center console. In this case, the factory stereo is intact.
3. Garmin 2650 custom installed in the space under the toggle switches in the center console. This is a touch screen and remote-controlled unit.

4. Garmin iQue 3600 mounted on a phone mount on the passenger side of the center console. It's the least expansive and most compact.
