Hey fellas,

I just spoke to my service rep and she said that the NAV retrofit kit is going to cost USD 3250 and $450 for installation.
Are the parts that expensive?? Remember that now I have option 6UA which is the wiring in the car. I believed the retrofit kit costed 1800 + labor after May'05.

Can anybody help me on this one? I sure would like to get NAV.. but 3250 just for parts is a little expensive... dont you think?? Or can I get the retrofit kit somewhere else??

Thanks!

Jesus... just get a TomTom and stick it on the dash. Advantage is you can move it around to other cars. I have a Treo 650 + TomTom PDA Navigator 5 and bluetooth GPS device. Not as fancy as built-in nav, but it's portableand you avoid a lot of the iDrive problems that seem to afflict Nav cars more often.
