Looks great. I'd like to have one, but havent decided whether im keeping the truck after the lease or not. And besides..the longer you wait, the cheaper they get right?

ya, i would probably wait a bit for the price to drop, but as far as the lease goes, it is so simple to install and for that matter, remove and snap in the original dash plate. If you are not planning on getting another ford, you could easily sale the nav for about what you are going to buy one for. I say, go for it! It is pretty sweet.

That truck looks sweet Dustin! Do you keep your Evo hidden? With the Evo, Nav, and DVD that thing looks like the space shuttle!

got it... Many thanks. I tried that this weekend but, I must not have been logged in or something.

Methinks... the NAV screen is too small still. I'd rather have one that fits in place of my stereo like the Pioneer one listed in the other thread. Bigger screen = Easier to read. Especially when driving.

of course... it also means more $$$. But, thanks to Google.com and eBay.com... I don't have to pay the exagerated retail prices.

Is it hard to view the display where it is mounted?? Can the display be turned more toward the driver??

no, it cannot be turned. it is angled a bit toward the driver. From the drivers seat, you can actually see it very well. I was very suprised how accurate and simple the guided directions are, it switches from 3 different screens as you drive. It will come in handy at the end of the month, i am heading down to Gulfport, Mississippi to help out with the hurricane victims. It is now in the rebuilding stage and I will be doing a lot of electrical work.
