Default GPS/Nav ?

Is Pioneer the only double din system with the nav built in, i.e. no CD's needed?

Nope. Although the lower end Pioneer models are DVD based nav units.

Off the top of my head, Kenwood and Alpine have units that are not disc based.

I love how the Garmin works, this is the only reason why I will be installing a Kenwood in the next month or so.

I am buying the Kenwood KVT-617DVD with the Kenwood KNA G510. I also bought Focal 165 KF for the fronts and 130CA1 for the rear. I have an Alpine PDX5 and a JL Audio 10W1. I can't wait to put this baby in. If you can afford the Focals then you should definately buy them. Good luck with whatever you buy.

So quick to call somebody a name that really wasn't called for, how childish! I hope you feel better by throwing out your insult. You showed the forum your maturity level. I guess I could insult you back but I wont let you get the best of me.

I have been researching the Kenwood 617 and 719 on the internet so that is why I know the release dates on the units. Ebay is the biggest source of these KVT-617DVD units I have found at a reasonable price, I have seen cheaper too.

So quick to automatically think that I am getting off of fleabay. Sorry I just just trying to be humorous, guess not. You were the first to make that assumption. But when you assume you make an *** out of you and me. Sorry I just just trying to be humorous, guess not.I do like the 617 but I wish it had bluetooth.
Can you suggest a unit that has everything including bluetooth for the same money. I have not been able to find one without spending over $1000 for it. I do want to go DD cause there is too much cost involved in the labor to put one in right.

What is your price limit?

The Kenwood KVT-512 has all. These can usually be bought real cheap.
