    Hi everyone, old Betsy finally got traded in and I got my first brand new car in 11 years yesterday.

    I bought a Saturn Outlook, 24mpg SUV......

    I did not get the Sat Nav package at the dealership prefering to go after market for it.

    Any suggestions?

    I would like :

    Touch Screen, Blue Tooth, voice recognition and a satelite radio.

    Sirius or XM...which is better?

    Also, I am thinking of getting the headrest DVD players for my boys in the back with possibly installing a game cube in the back seat center console.

    Any suggestions or help on any of this would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    DD

    This is not true. The merger is still being delayed for some odd reason.

    hmm, maybe its being blocked bc it would be considered a monopoly on the sat radio market.

    When I had an SUV a couple of years back - I bought the Pioneer AVIC-D1 for it.

    Best after-market NAV system I've ever had (i've had lots over the years)

    not sure about the voice control. that system didn't have it, but that was a first gen model - and their up to a 3rd or 4th gen model now

    look into it.

    I'd debate you on this, and most likely bring a better argument to the table, but seeing as you don't even have the most basic of facts straight in the first place...

    Must...dis...engage...

    :rolleyes:
