Can the NAV system be added to an MINI? It'd require moving the speedo to the steering wheel and such. Is this possible?

 

Technically, yes. But woah! You'd have to change out the antenae, install the "brains", remove/relocate the speedo, and replace the rear passenger window with a nav window that has the wire lined glass for stereo reception. I'm sure I'm mising more, but that in of itself sounds like a load. Why not just get an aftermarket one, like with the popup faceplate that Alpine does? Would most likely be the same cost when all is said and done, but would be DVD based and have better quality maps.

I am getting the Garmin Streetpilot III instead of the Nav system. It costs much less, might be better, and can be moved between vehicles.

OK, I decided not to get the NAV because if I did I might have to wait for many more months before the DVD nav system became available. So maybe when the AWD MINI comes out, then I'll get the NAV system.

 

Hey Yucca, got any more info on that street pilot? Cost? Links? etc.

 

I tried to get my MINI without some damn thing that talks to me all the time telling me where to go...but my fiance insists on driving with me.

 

har, har .... good one PDX!
