Default NAV in a C4?

I am curious. I believe the bose unit is a 1.5 DIN, and most nav units are double dins. I do not want to go with a slide out, I want the screen flat like in the C6's. I like the Eclipse AVN5495 for its hard drive and Sirius compatibility.

Anybody installed? Comments, pics, advice?

Thanks,

you have a double DIN in the 1996.

And yes, a NAVI can be installed.

A short scroll down the page finds us this thread, titled "I installed 2DIN NAVI for my C4."

I installed a Kenwood DDX6019(double din) with the NAVI addon(KNA-G510)in my 95. It wasnt too difficult to install but I did have to modify some things to make it fit.



I can get a better pic if you want.

Way too close. It can be difficult when entering text when in park and to insert a CD or DVD, I have to put it in neutral because the screen will hit the shifter.

Did you have the Bose unit? If so, did you keep the Bose speakers?

Yup, I use it as a paper weight now. I still have the bose speakers but will be changing them later on.
