Best thing for navigation?
I'm looking to put some type of navigation in my car.Was looking at the Mylink setup but was wondering is it really worth it. Been riding reviews about the metra and people experiences. What would you recommend?

There are numerous options besides a new radio. MyLink is fine, but I actually prefer my Garmin that I use in my other vehicles.

I prefer my TOM TOM, not only does the model I have get life time updates. tracks and sees red light cramera's.........I have the ability to move it from one car/truck to the other. So I don't have to brake the bank to have a "in-dash" nave system in every vehicle I own (3). and for us that like to MOD things, I can customize it so that it shows MY car on the screen.
and if you have a Tom Tom......and want to do the same, I have a DIY so you to can di it. http://www.camaro5.com/forums/showthread.php?t=91620

I'm pretty sure both the DIC and HUD can be used to display the "turn by turn" directions (both devices list "turn by turn" support in the User Manual), which includes input from the MyLink NAV. I know the NAV will display on the DIC, as I've used it that way several times. I'd have to test to confirm the display on the HUD.

On my 2014, navigation arrows are displayed in the HUD, along with distance until turn info and I believe the street name. I have not put the DIC into the Navigation display to see if directional arrows appear when using My Link....I will try it out this weekend. |
