gcookaustin Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 There seems to be some concern regarding DVD navigation as an option on the new Legacy. Would it be possible to get the system ordered from another country and install it ourselves? Garrett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtmy04 Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Think it would cost BIG $, and you'd need to patch into various signals (e.g. road speed), as well as fit satellite aerial AND your local mapping software would have to be compatible. It would be far easier to fit an aftermarket unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tide Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Some dealerships may offer DVD Nav as an aftermarket option pre-installed. I believe Kevin@SoD (Subaru of Dallas) has said as much. I'm with you, of any single options, DVD Nav is #1 on my list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akm3 Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 I've never used/had DVD nav so I have a hard time seeing the value of the feature. However, I also realize that I thought XM radio was stupid until I tried it now you'd have to pry it out of my cold dead fingers! Can someone enlighten me on why Nav is so great? I always seem to know where I'm going and I don't really travel (driving) very often. Do I need Nav? -Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tide Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 I do a good number of road trips to new areas. Being in the sf bay area, there are just tons of things just around the bend, tahoe, vegas, la, napa, yosemite. I hate have to print directions every time and I like the idea of being able to explore those new areas without the fear of getting lost (or more to the point, have the woman upset that Im lost). It's certainly not something Id use daily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
titsataki Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 No offence meant here but Navigation system is kool and all things but at a premium of $1500-2500 I much rather have a map. Stop on the side of the road enjoy the view look at the map and decide where you want to go. You can have a ton of very detailed California maps for a fraction of the cost of the navigation system. And if you guys like the female voice giving you directions I am fine I already have my wife doing that :lol: Cheers Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyoneway Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 You can actually add a computer - a Car PC, 8" screen, GPS Navigation, MP3 player, etc for around the price of a factory naviagation. But then nothing beats the factory look. If Its not a factory option, I will go the custom route and get more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most Nav systems from the factory add only $2k to the price. Very inline with aftermarket with 100% fit and finish. Im not sure what you mean by 'Car PC' but if its Microsoft, Im not going anywhere near it. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
