Oh, I think it looks cool too to and who wants not to have ALL the toys (even if that's what they are, lol), but that's $1800! Am I wrong?

If I was gonna sell my Bimmer, factory Nav would surely add more to the resale value than an aftermarket system that attaches to the windshield with a suction cup and plugs into the cigarette lighter or a screen that blocks the ventilation system when it is deployed. Also, if you have a problem with factory Nav, you take it to the dealer. You deal with a technician who has senior techs and all sorts of troubleshooting manuals and readily accessible parts to repair it with. You can't do that with your aftermarket Nav.
It ain't the greatest Nav in the world, for sure, the Infiniti Nav has that 'bird's eye view' which I really think is superior, but it'll do.
