For that I'd rather use the $3000 in performance mods.
Intake
Tune
Exhaust
Springs
and still have money left over, and no financing fees for those things.
But the reality is, I have Nav in another car of mine and like most people spend 90+% of my driving time in areas they I am familiar with, and don't use the nav 90+% of the time anyway then.
And why have a 30-40 GB hard drive space for music in a car, when you can have it in a phone and take it with you when you exit the car too?
What it comes down to is to each there own.
But my advice, save the $3000 and get the performance mods I listed above for that money.
This way you'll at least use it and get enjoyment out of it every time you drive.

Except that monthly fee is about $20 a month and it allows unlimited web surfing and use.
Something I'd of gotten anyway, so the Google Maps and Nav is therefore a bonus and in a sense free. Something the Electronics Package doesn't offer. So why pay $3000 for a larger screen and duplicate GPS and hard drive space for music?
Sure the screen and stuff is nicer in the car, but other than the voice command, it really does nothing more than what my $169 Magellan and $199 Iphone 4 does for me, and the Iphone 4 does much more than the EP can ever offer.
I get an all in one with the Iphone and FaceTime rocks, worth it for the iphone 4 for just that too.

I have a DROID that is great for navigation, and I'm gonna order the Nav for aesthetics, convince, dual zone climate, resale, coolness, yada..yada..yada.
Don't worry about the initial cost of a cool option, people always regret not loading up on option's after a little time with there new toy and yes the JEAOULS SYNDROME creeps into your mind when you see someone else's ride with features you could of had, if only you would have not worried about a few more $$$$ while building your ride.
It's a muscle car that's relatively cheap, Now,,, Premium gas is not cheap and heading up with a bullet, if your worried you can't afford or justify the cost of Navigation wait till you have to fill up the thirsty 5.0, will you cut back and deprive your 5.0 premium and go with regular or worse yet ethanol blend???
