Default need info on nav unit

my friend at futureshop is hooking me up with the pioneer avhp6800 (6.5" 6 DVD changer double din unit) which retails for $1823 after tax for $1550after tax(includes professional installation and full 2 year warranty.)
i like this unit cos of its 6 changer capacity.
now they (at futureshop) said to add nav to this unit i need a Pioneer Vehicle Dynamics Processor which they sell for $180.
i just want to know (from u experts) whether or not getting this Pioneer vehicle dynamics processor will truly add nav to the sytem.

i'd just go with the Z1....there's a reason why aftermarket companies stopped making indash changers......they work at first......but after a short period of time they break.

we love people who have 6 disc indash changer stock stereos....because when they come to us they're so sick of cds sticking in them that all they want is something that will work for more than a few months.

to answer your question. NO it will not add nav.

go buy the Z1 if you want Pioneer.

I have the Pioneer Z1 and I absolutely love it. I'm sure this helps in your decision making doesn't it? Sorry about that but I do love my Z1. And yes it plays DVDs
