I am glad I got it! One of the best factory Navigation units you can buy.

Sure you can. Do a search. It is a great free mod. We watch movies on the factory NAV en route to Chicago all the time.

In case you did not know. All EVOX's are factory pre-wired to accept the HDD NAVI as an after sale accessory. So even if you decided not to buy now you can add it later.

yup simply add that navi patch and you can watch dvds while moving buddy. I did it at the dealership and have been watching while rolling ever since.

I haven't bought the Evo yet as I'm waiting for a 2010, but my 2009 Outlander has the same unit.
It's one of the best I've used and since it's hard drive based better than many others. I've used the Acura and Lexus versions and they are slower to use and respond.

BUT, DVD while driving is NOT possible for now on newer cars, only on the 08 models. The fellow who did the patch has not been able to crack the later model systems.

I never saw the stock navi/stereo stuff from the factory to be worth anything, even the upgraded stuff. Almost any aftermarket system/navi will outperform most factory components.

Hmm, really? I'd like to get HKS Camp 2, if I can get it to work with the factory navi...
