AVN 5435 is essentially the OEM nav.

The OEM nav will require that you get the dash trim from the Nav equipped car (I don't think it is that expensive). It will look much better, IMHO, to keep the factory look. It just looks and feels more substantial. The draw back of OEM, however, is that you can't use most of the features while in motion, and no DVD playback when parked.

Salsa Red Pearl... beautiful!

I'm going to be getting the Eclipse unit probably in November... I've heard LOTS of good things about it.

Glaring blue HID bulbs are NOT classy, and don't make your car look nice, no matter what that kid in the Civic told you.

No. You can interrupt the speed sensor, but that wreaks havoc with the actual operation. And rumor has it that the 2005+ nav systems will not operate with this trick.

How To Enter Map Destinations While Driving
In sequence
Press the Menu button on the dash.
Press the Volume button on the screen.
Press the upper left corner of the screen. (Where the speaker icon is located.)
Press the lower left corner of the screen.
Press the upper left corner of the screen again.
Press the lower left corner of the screen again.
On the screen that appears:
Press the Override button and hold it until you hear a beep. The
Override letters turn black in color showing it is deselected.
Press the Back button to get back to the previous screen.

This works on the Solora and Prius, don't know about others.

Wow, thats WAY too expensive. Go to a different guy... you can get the unit for $1500 easily. My friend knows a girl in the warehouse department, and he can get it for $1200. $2000 is WAY too much. If you pay more than $1700, you're getting ripped off.

http://www.coastaletech.com/nav_kit.htm has a kit that gets rid of the I agree and the ability to enter destinations while in motion. Don't know if it works outside the Prius though.

GOOD LUCK. That guy has disappeared off the face of the planet. I ordered one last February, no response.

The procedure can be done at any time (moving or stopped). However, as soon as you turn off the car, the procedure must be redone.
