For you electronics buffs, is there such a thing?
Since I don't have Nav, blue tooth, or back up camera in my X, I'm looking for a device (prefer portable but doesn't have to be) that can function as:
1. GPS "4" screen or larger"
2. I can attach a back up camera source to it
3. It has built in blue tooth &FM transmitter

Is there such a thing? the closest thing I found was the Nuvi 660 but I don't know if I can connect a back up camera to it? Anyone know? Any advice? Thx

To get what you want in the most tidy, convenient, and fully intergrated system I think you have to go with something installed. Check out Pioneer's AVIC-Z1 that offers a touch screen, BT ready, iPod ready, satellite radio ready, and rearview camera ready.

That looks great but I'm not sure about removing the OEM set up for an aftermrket permanent replacement! I'm hoping that might be my last option as I would like it portable so I can use it in my other cars! It's a good suggestion and thx for your response PersonaNonGrata. Hopefully someone has seen a magic portable device with all those functionalities. I'll have to look into the other suggestions by others ... Garmin 7000 & 7500 mmmm...

FYI, the Garmin 7500 is a 7200 with dead reckoning.

If you want to see pics of how it looks, check out the website below. I am about to get this mod on my car. Also, realize that you can have the Pioneer AVIC-Z1 taken out of the car when you decide to sell it and can go back and reinstall your original radio and CD player. Just an idea.

From what I found on these, you can't attach an external video source (i.e DVD player or back up camera??) Worthless to me but thx for the info ... The hunt continues ...
