Legacy05GT Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 ...while buying my oil filter i saw a flyer on the wall @ the dealership: NAVIGATION SYSTEM ALL 2005 OUTBACK & LEGACY MODELS [b]ONLY $2399.00[/b] installed. They had a picture of the japanese nav system on it that we've all seen on this forum. The dealership was Shallar in New Britain, CT... i was pretty suprised that they offered it because THEY SUCK(And by that i mean that they wouldn't lower the price of my legacy below $2,000 over invoice. Hence, i bought from somewhere else) Are any other dealers offering this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssaldana Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Wow that is a shocker. I will be calling my dealership soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subaguru Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 They offered it to me as an option.. but i'm thinking that it was one of those ugly aftermarket nav's that they would've just screwed into my dashboard....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssaldana Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 So I called up schaller subaru in ct. and they told me it was an Alpine unit which flushed exactly in the compartment above the ac vents. They spoke with a local stereo shop and got them to customize some mounting brackets. They said they had pictures on their website but I can't seem to find them.

Tide Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 Odd they would show the Japanese version. I would think then that their installing a official Subaru Nav of some sort.. but from where? Edit: Opps, didn't read the whole thread. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And, alpine is a great brand. The dealership is obviously violating copyrights in displaying that JDM nav photo on their own nav advertisements.

Bob N Posted November 3, 2004 Share Posted November 3, 2004 Nice that they offer it but I could see using $2400 on much more useful items. What's with the big deal of Nav systems? Just another electrical item to go wrong. I guess I'm old school... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sped Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 I have seen it there. They had a silver GT LTD sedan in the showroom when I bought my Outback XT LTD. Its very nice and looks JDM OEM if it is indeed an alpine. I haven't been there in a month so the car may have been sold. I have had a wonderful experience with Schaller, but I also had the benefit of IMBA membership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't tried with the express (I'm the dork holding it up) because you have no indication as to whether or not it was read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fan42025 Posted November 4, 2004 Share Posted November 4, 2004 Agree. It's far too much. Better off buying the pocket sized Navman PiN for a fraction of the cost - yet same features.
