Default CD Player with built-in GPS

Hi, I'm new to these forums and this is my first post, so forgive me if it's already been covered, but i couldn't find it when searching. Anyway i shall get on with the issue.

I currently purchased a 2006 model S2000 and was looking to upgrade the cd-player. Basically i want a CD-player which allows ipod connectivity and has built in GPS. I've near enough settled on this: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/26495814...ch_car_GPS.html

However I just can't see it fitting with any great success. Anybody had any experience with this type of flip-out screen with the car?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers
Simon

Most flip out screens don't work in the S. I know someone has found one model that works, hopefully they will chime in.

You could do what I do, which is just to get a deck with good iphone connectivity and then download a good GPS app. I recommend Navigon.

you need a kenwood with the z-action, there are 2-3 models with it, or a single DIN, such as the JVC line

+



And it's nice because it will attenuate the music playing from your iphone and then give out voice directions through the car's speakers. It's a great option because this actually places the screen in a visible location and you don't need to take your eyes wayyyy off the road like you would if you had a screen down by your knees like the factory location.

Not really. The photo isn't mine, it's from another thread here somewhere. I believe the owner just used a couple prefab parts together and it wasn't all too hard. The only issue with this setup is the ipod cable floating around.
