Navigation System
I have an 04 EB without a navigation system. I seem to recall hearing that the 05 will have a DVD system. Anyone have an idea as to whether I can purchase one from the dealer at this point in time and what it will cost? Would a aftermarket unit be a better idea? Is the unit in the 05 Expy the same on used in the Navigator?

I would recommend aftermarket. More bang for your buck. To install a Nav system from the factory will run around $1500 - $1800. I know for a fact that you can go to a quality "Car Toys" type store and get one for around $1000 - $1500 that will do a lot more. Touch screens are easy to come by and also ones that will play DVD movies while not in NAV mode.
I have an 04 EB with the NAV system and I like it, but am selling the 04 (only because I live in England and over doubled my money) for an 05 BMW X5. I won't get the factory Nav system and will go aftermarket for that and the DVD entertainment system. Good Luck!

Personally, I'm looking into this http://www.avic-n1.com/
It's so hard for me to spend that kinda money on a "gadget" though. More than likely I'll go through with it.
I agree that Aftermarket would probably be the better option in this case.

Todd, thanks for the link. My question now is how much money for such a gadget?

Here is a search for that AVIC-N1 and a couple internet stores that carry it.

Good luck. I'm building a system and am heavily leaning towards that exact unit. Wife already OK'd me to buy it.... just can't seem to bring myself to spend the money. Plus I am going to have to pay a installation place to put it in since the navigation system is pretty complex (from what I've been told as far as the wiring goes) That's gonna cost me another $150 from the place I called.

Nav & DVD RAido
I am looking in to a new raido after having problems with my raido. I would like more options then the factory raido. take a look at Kenwood Excelon DDX7015 it's a double din in dash 6.5" monitor DVD/CD/MP3/WMA Raido. I was also reading about the option you can add on. I was looking on E-bay and I think you can get it for 700 dollars or a little bit more. I don't own stocks or get a discount on the raido but I like that it can fit in to the space of my factory nav raido. Ok well just about all the space. http://kenwoodusa.com/product/produc...productId=2557
