Exclamation Aftermarket Navigation - recommendations?
I'm venturing to a dealer to check out an X5 4.6is, unfortunately it doesn't have navigation. However it has everything else I'm looking for - color, mileage & etc. are all perfect. I really want navigation and wanted to hear what everyone's thoughts are on this website.

Which one do you feel is the right way to go & why?

Thanks a bundle for your help!

Sincerely,

Lance

7” Pioneer AVIC-Z1 is the best one.

If you really want Nav I would shop around until you find an X5 that has it. - lot of used ones out there right now.
OEM Nav will add very little to the cost of a used 4.6 compared with the cost of adding it yourself after. Be prepared to spend from $3-4K (parts and install) for either OEM retrofit or AVIC Z1. You could save some $ by installing yourself but IMO looks pretty complicated.

Another option is one of the portable navs - toomtom, nuvi etc. You gain a lot of functionality e.g. touch screen but loose the integrated look of OEM or AVIC Z1.

Don't know the quality of their installation job. Does anybody have experience about it?

I've priced it on line best pricing was between $1,500 to $1,600, of course installation would be extra. I don't know that I would want costco to mount my tires let alone this.
