Maybe you should take your nav and your AC and the car attached and list them in eBay.

If you have the pro navi then I think it's quite good (but I am in the UK). The business navi isn't very good though from what I have found.

I've heard good things about the Navigation Professional. Haven't heard anything about the Navigation Business. Which one do you have?

What is the difference between the two and how can you tell which one you have? Thanks.

Pro Nav has a bigger screen is the most obvious difference between nav's.
Business has a 6.5 inch screen Pro has 8.8 inch screen.
Business nav is 2D and arrows, Pro is 3D .
