iyamdman Posted January 29, 2005 Share Posted January 29, 2005 I heard that the Nav systems will be out for 2006. I also heard that they will be retrofitable to 2005's. The questions are: 1) How much will they cost? What about installation? 2) Are they a good Nav system? I loved the one in Acura, but not the one in BMW or Infinity. Anyone know how the Subi Nav is? 3) When will the Retrofit Nav be availible in Cali? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godwhomismike Posted January 30, 2005 Share Posted January 30, 2005 We're all waiting on word if the navi will be an '06 option. As of now, there has been no confirmation on this from Subaru. - Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stiffarmleft Posted January 31, 2005 Share Posted January 31, 2005 Expect it to cost more than if you got it as a factory installed option. I know with the RX-8 it was a $2000 option, but to buy it aftermarket costs $2400 and that does not include installation. Also I think I read somewhere that you would have to get a new head unit, probably one with inputs for the navigation's audio. If I was forced to get a new head unit, hopefully it will play mp3's and have some sort of aux in capability. Also there is a setting on the ecu for navigation that has to be enabled, this would probably have to be done by the dealer. I fully expect to have nav one way or another but I also expect it not to be cheap, hopefully the install is straightfoward. I am still deciding whether to wait for the factory navigation or go with the Alpine navigation in some sort of dual head unit set-up, using the cubby in the dash.

HVB Spec B Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 The navigation system is available in Holland, comes as standard on the 3.0 specB, optional on all other models. If you want it fitted on the other models, you'll have to order it separately, which costs about €4000 in parts, calculated into the current dollar rate, that makes about $5000....

Looks like I will definitely be going the Alpine route if it's $5000, I just need to get the DIN bezel for the cubby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you happen to know how the nav is connected to the stereo, does it only use the 2 front speakers or does it have a dedicated speaker.
