Hey guys, I just got a 2009 VW CC (double din) and am looking to get an in-dash nav unit and was wondering if some people could lend some help since this is not my area of expertise. here are some things I am looking for

 

1) Good nav system (lots of POI, multi-option routes, traffic etc..)

2) DVD player ( one that accepts a lot of formats such as divx if possible)

3) easy to use ipod option

4) quick response screen

5) backup camera would be real nice but I haven't found any that comes with one

 

I am in college so I am definitely on a budget ($600 or less). Also how much would it cost to install this? I am in south florida if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, any help??? I keep looking at the f900bt, is that a good choice. I have also been looking at the kenwood dnx5120. They are the same price. Can anyone recommend one over the other?

They are both really good units but not perfect. The Kenwood is really good and has dual zone video combality if you have kids and wanna hook up a rear monitor and have them watch something else while you watch your nav and do something else. There are lots of hacks on this site to make your avic to your needs.

Now I am getting scared of getting the 900bt or 90bt because of some of the problems I have read on this forum. However, is there anything out there that is better for the money???
