$300? That's a steal! Hook us both up

Otherwise yeah I guess I'm going to have to go for aftermarket for my '00S. Honestly I'm just after google maps or any sort of mapping function so I can just see where the roads are, I'll plan my own route (live traffic would be nice but not absolutely necessarily).

David, most services that provide traffic reporting are subscription based. If you/someone knows of free traffic service (that feeds directly into the nav, not a number I need to call ), please post.

Screen navs rock. They are easy to use and look good if you install them right.

Here are shots of the AVIC D3 in my '02 986S. I did the install myself. I have the BT cell phone adapter, the iPod cable, and the back-up camera installed.

The faceplate in the pics was my first try. I've since made a new one that's covered with stretched vinyl that looks completly factory.

The entire setup with all the extras and harness adapters was about $1100 from Crutchfield. The good thing is that when I sell the car I can pull it out and make it stock again in about an hour.

If that's what you are looking for the Traffic Pro unit mentioned above isn't for you. I've been using mine for a couple of weeks now, and it works great if you're trying to find a specific address, but does not offer a map view, or anything fancy like that.

Does anyone know if updated CD's for the Traffic Pro are available anywhere? Mine doesn't have a lot of new developments here in Northern VA on it.
