Any experience with aftermarket navigation receivers like this? It's got so many features my head is spinning. Looks like it's got internet too but don't see how?

It doesn't have internet, but that's about the only thing it doesn't have. I haven't tried one before, but if you like it I don't see any reason not to.

I installed a Jensen VM9424 with Bluetooth, XM and Backup camera. It's works and looks great. I didn't have to do any brezel triming, however I did have to cut part of the metal support bar in order for the unit to fit.
If that's not your thing, then a MyGig might negate having to cut the support bar.

I recommend adding the PAC C2R-CHY4 to your order as well as the wiring harness and install kit that Crutchfield will include if you plan to do the install yourself.

Some folks prefer to slice into existing system wiring and that works. For me it was easlier to solder and heat shrink most of the connections on the work bench then just plug and play depending on accessories you add.

Good luck whatever route you go
