How is the Nav System funtionality? See Helevitia's comment at the end of "My Nav System Has Been Ordered Thread." He cites some problems such as the Nav voice only comes out the left speaker and doesn't mute the other speaker. Also:
1. The navigation system is very confusing. My last nav system was a Chrysler product built by Alpine. It was very simple to use, everything worked how I felt it should work.
2. The Audio/Video in has tons of noise on the line. I have no idea why, but it sounds horrible and when I turn on my MP3 player, the HDD noise is picked up through the wires. It's not that loud, but definitely annoying. Once I turn the music up a little, I can't hear it anymore.
3. The whole system is just layed out weird. It doesn't feel intuitive at all.
4. The rear camera has a ton of red and purple fringing along contrasting lines. The fish eye lens effect is pretty distorted towards the ends.
5. The screen isn't even average in my opinion. It is sub par for a 2006 unit.
6. DVD's are stretched weird. I'm not sure what it is, but it isn't right. There are no controls to change this.
I'm just not feeling the $1700 worth of love I paid for it. On the bright side, I get to tinker with my FJ with a new system
So I think I am going to go balls out and get the Alpine Nav with the new IVA-W200 DVD HU. Everything I read about it makes me drool. But before I pull the trigger, I need to make sure I can install it. I'm sure it's a tad more complex, but since I did this one and I know my FJ a little better, I'm feeling mroe confident

Installed the Eclipse 5500 w/Sirius in my FJ about 5 weeks ago. I love it. I left the stock speakers alone, and the sound is great. The install is simple, routing the wires for antenna's was the only tough part. If you can get past the initial cost of the unit, you won't be sorry.
