Valor SatNav system
Anyone know anything about these?
Saw it in my local Costco flyer - double DIN 6.5 screen. GPS/DVD/iPod/BT/SatRadio/plays everything, has a USB and Smartcard interface as well.
<$850?
Has a ton of features for the money but I wonder how it works. I haven't seen any reviews.

Yeah, it's less that $850.
I'm wondering if for all those features it actually works worth a crap. I was thinking about replacing the head unit in my wife's 07 Yukon and she needs XM, BT and iPod accessability.

Thanks. Sounds like it's not quite ready for prime time...
I'l just keep waiting on Kenwood prices to fall, or do the portable Gsrmin 660.

Don't underestimate the quality of the navigation software as part of the equation. I'd take a portable Garmin over pretty much any built-in I've encountered, including my docked Alpine Blackbird. You get what you pay for, and a cheap NAV system will likely have a less-than-perfect interface & set of maps(see the C6 factory system...).
