    Buy one in China.
    Home delivered around 300$.
    And you can connect camera's to it.

    Look back thru the classifieds on here, someone was selling a 389 nav unit about a year ago, I almost bought it myself.
    I don't know if it ever sold or not but it's worth checking into.

    24 months, how many miles?

    Radio & Nav has 36 month warranty.

    Don't use the GPS function. It doesn't work worth a hoot. The rest of it works fine, for music and if you get truck codes.

    Gps works about 50% of the time if you don't program a destination but instead just watch where you are on the map.

    Ours have a 3 year warranty, ask them to show you the warranty. $5,500 is ridiculous. We priced it out before we realized that it was warranty and the head unit was around $1200 and the screen was a little under $700. Both are easy to change, no more than an hour labor.

    I did not price this out once we got it fixed under warranty, but I did look at it, it has to be cheaper than Pete:

    Yep. This is correct. It's a 36 month warranty.
