2008 Navigation Improvement
Looks like they improved the appearance of the 08 Ford Nav. Notice the crome accents.

Nice accents.

I hope it doesn't have the speed error though.

It definitely looks more at home in the new Taurus(which is much better looking then I thought it would be ) then in the stang as it has many other like-themed chrome items. If you put an MGW plug in the 12V it would probably look a lot better

I wonder if there is anything else different in these nav systems over the years other than cosmetic. Meaning are they upgrading the internal components to make the navigation or video faster or is it the same unit as in all of the 05/06/07 ford vehicles.

Wrong answer. I have one with the speed error and ford/pioneer is still not aware of a fix.

It's not just the Nav, all radios come with the crome now.

What is the speed error with the NAV?
The ***** could always be changed if one wanted the chrome, right? Well, maybe not so easily.

+1 Can't beat an AVIC with XM Navtraffic in a Stang. Now, I opted for the factory NAV in my new Expedition because so much is integrated into it. Ford actually did a great job with the execution of the NAV in the Expedition. I just wish I could have Navtraffic.

No it won't.

Oh, and by the way: the factory NAV unit IS a Pioneer, based upon the AVIC.

Really? How do you know?

Do you have any pics of the factory radios for 08?

OK, I found it on the E-bay pics of the black GT! Looks cool!

for some reason the volume and menu buttons don't look right. They should have only changed the top two circle buttons.
