Does anyone know of a portable device that does both Sirius and GPS. I'm looking to minimize the number of devices I attach to the dash. There was Clarion N.I.C.E. system a while back but it looks like it's been discontinued.

 

In case anyone else is also looking for a device like this, I found exactly what I was looking for. It's made by Pioneer, but does'nt seem to be out yet.

Garmin has some models that support XM, no sirius though.

 

the clarion N.I.C.E. was cool... until they started catching on fire (seriously tho... they did), the pioneer F500 is cool (basically replaced pioneer's AVIC-S2), i played with one for a while at a pioneer training program i had to go to and liked it a lot more than the old S2... so the Pioneer has my vote!

 

You still need the I POD for music, so what's the advantage here? Has anyone found the maps function on the I Phone, comparable to a GPS? The I Phone seems to be the best bet for total integration, but then it doesn't have Sirius. I think the problem may lie in the Sirius Licensing of devices!

 

The thing I like about this new Pioneer device is it can do it all. You can plug in the IPod, XM or Sirius, an option to hookup a rear view camera, and bluetooth. Oh yeah, it also does navigation. It has voice control for your IPod, but not for the navigation! What's up with that?. Still no word on the release date, only that it's suppose to be out in June 2008.

 

Actually the new IPHONE 3G does have GPS, so I think that is where I am headed, now how am I going to retrofit the USB connection?

 

Keep in mind that GPS does not mean navigation. The new iPhone will tell you where you are, will even give you step by step directions to go somewhere, but will not actually nagivate you there. You may want to check out Garmin's new Nuvifone that is coming out in the fall.
