I have an 2008 Ram 1500 and am looking for an in dash gps navigation unit, anyone have a recommendation on which unit to get? i have the Infinity sound system and want the radio to still be compatible with the controls on the steering wheel.

 

Lots of threads with lots of opinions on this, and that is just what you are going to get, opinions.

You need to address what options you want in a unit. My advice is to get anything reputable and nothing cheap.

I have a Pioneer AVIC Z1 Navi double DIN HU and you cant talk me out of it.

 

thanks, i looked at the AVIC Z1 and it looks good, the only thing i didnt see is if it allows the use of the remote on the steering wheel

 

Dont get Clarion

I like Pioneers, always had great luck w them

 

You mean the OEM remotes on the back of the wheel or the Pioneer remote you can attach t the steering wheel itself (literally)?

You can use the add-on Pioneer remote although it should come with its own flat style remote.

As for using the OEM remotes on the back of the steering wheel, no after market HU will work with those by default. However, there are additional equipment devices that allow you to do so.

Get the high speed version of this. Factory plug-n-play for an 08. Nav, Blutooth, HD, back up cam capable.
