Then you will beat me to it. My car is not due until the last week of March.

It will, however, be the first Stang with NAV that my dealership has seen, and possibly the first in British Columbia.

i would retro fit this into my 05 because i love the factory look but for 1900 bucks i can get a pioner avic-z1 for much less, have a bigger screen, and a sharper picture.

Not a sharper picture. That's relative.

Hey Hollywood. have you been able to get any specs on the nav/cd unit?
I'm already shopping for something to adapt my bluetooth phone to the stereo, but I cant get any answers anyplace. The best I could find is an owners manual for the similiar unit from the Lincoln. If I have the satelite radio in the AUX can I still hookup a Bluetooth adapter? Any input would be appreciated...

My information says the Ford Navigation unit is made by Pioneer. I ordered it in my Shelby GT. had to convince my dealer it was even available!

All I have is the PDF manual for our unit, and here is a direct link to the file if you don't already have it.

I think the SAT radio function is called 'SR' and is separate from the AUX input, so one should not preempt the other. I would be more concerned about the Bluetooth adaptor preempting the AUX ('iPod in') function.

Would the NAV system work in the 05 & 06 cars, will it need mods to work or will it be a plug & play?

I'll throw my hat in this race. My Mustang (w/nav) is on a train right now and I expect to get it any day. Maybe later today if I am lucky. It shipped on 2/24 and my ETA from Ford is/was 3/1.

The factory upgrade package is available for much less than $1900. You can buy this from any authorized Ford Accessories or Visteon dealer and it will be covered by your factory warranty. I have seen the new unit upgrade kits for as little as $1499, used units for less than $1000 but be careful with those as there is likely no warranty.

One note, the unit for the 07 Mustang will NOT work in an 07 Shelby GT500. Shelby GT is same as Mustang GT. Data stream is differnt and requires different configuration.

Bullitt I am thinking about getting one for my 06 and was wondering where is the antenna? Is it mounted on the trunk like the sat, the roof, or hidden some where. Pics would be great.

Thanks

That looks pretty sweet, does it play MP3s like the Shaker systems do? Is it touch-screen?!

I am assuming it will also play DVDs (or at least read data DVDs?)?

As far as I am concerned, the train to NC is VERY SLOW!!!
