Looking at getting an in-dash nav for my 2011 MZ3. Not looking to spend a ton (read >$1000).
I would like nav, bt, and all your other standard features. I wouldn't mind the option of inputting a backup camera as well. I have no interest in a tv receiver. I would also prefer the screen built in dash rather than a fold out. So it'll have to be double-din.
I've been looking at a couple options and my favorite so far is this one:
http://www.smartauto24.com/2011-mazda-3-indash-gps-dvd-navigation-aftermarket-head-unit $499.99 plus $25 for the preloaded 4gb SD for nav and I could add in a backup camera for $25 or $60 with nightvision. Looks like shipping is $90 though.
Any reviews or thoughts on this company. I like it because it's very clean and would fit with my 3's dash.
Also looking at this Jenson:

Seems to be a fairly decent price and Best Buy keeps it in stock for the same price. The local Fry's has the non BT variant for $50 less in stock.
Thoughts or suggestions? Also if I went with a unit without built in BT how much is a BT attatchment dongle? And I would like to keep my steering wheel controls if possible. I realize I'll likely need an adaptor.
Looking to spend under $700 for unit and install, or $700-750 if I do it myself. The less the better. So closer to $500 is much nicer...then I could spend a little on upgrading the speakers.
On that note whats a general speaker, amp, sub go for? Never spec'd one out and don't know what to look for.
I'm on the stock 6 speaker setup if it matters.
Thanks
