Question Not another nav question!!

I've got the factory Nav in the car and I'd like to replace the unit with something that can run Google maps.

I heard that Parrot was releasing a unit that is integrated into a car's data bus.
Basically I'd like to keep the functional components like A/C and vehicle settings etc, but have a better current NAV (without having to purchase an overpriced DVD)


Thoughts?

^Check out FlyAudio. Looks factory, and integrates the same A/C controls/functions in the unit BUT it offers ALOT more than the factory unit.

Flyaudio is the first gen unit.

You're better off with the newer Roadrover 8" unit. Lots of threads around about the unit.

However, it is not perfect and does not run google maps. It can run any win CE based GPS apps.

my flyaudio unit looks like an old tv unit. I need to update the maps but I have no idea how to.
