So I have a '01 SSEi, and I want to upgrade the stock radio to a Navi. Do you guys have any recommendations that work well with the bonnevilles? Perhaps one that fit in nicely were the stock radio is?
Thanks Everyone!

leave it alone and get a tom tom - the space is not enough for a good screen i see in newer cars

Re: Good Navigation Systems?
You can install a double DIN head unit that has GPS. Costs can vary, and installation is a pretty involved process. You will need a couple of adapters (main harness, steering wheel, radio antenna, GPS), and to cut out plastic behind the radio in order to fit the unit. A double DIN will fill out the stock location nicely.
However, I would suggest that it is cheaper and easier to use an app on your phone if you have a smart phone. My personal favorite is Waze. Not trying to dissuade you, but the installation of the GPS in the car will be more for aesthetics than anything else.

I'm a big proponent of my stand-alone Garmin nav unit. Kenwood makes double-din head units with Garmin navigation built-in. They have hit-or-miss reviews, and I've never used one, but that's what I'd probably go with if I wanted Nav integrated with a head unit.
