Has anyone put a double din size nav head unit in their SVX? and for those who have, can I get an update on how you like it? I am looking at getting one, as i not only want the Nav but bluetooth as well.

Magellan 4040 in my SVX this past weekend and it also does the blue tooth thing. It works great for my needs.

Haven't gotten one yet, but check out the Pioneer AVIC-D3. It is a double DIN mount, but the screen is fixed and doesn't flip forward like most of the NAV's I've seen. The DVD slot is located above the screen. Don't have to worry about clearance with our flip down stereo cover.

Plus, Crutchfield is throwing in a backup camera with it this month. Now THAT would be pretty sweet!

I would suggest the D3 as well, or if you have an extra $1K you're willing to throw at it, the Z2 has a full moving screen and internal hard drive. The D3 requires you to pre-program your trip on your computer and load the DVD into the nav unit to download the info. You can't program a trip in the car. Not without mods anyway.

I've done an Avic-D1. Other than that particular unit being a disapointment (Ipod integration particularly), it's pretty good.

The fit behind the door is adequate - the movement of the door is a little obstructed, and you have to be careful with the tilt and inserting disks.

If I had it to do again, I would definitely go with the "Z" series. Much better, and it looks as though it will fit behind the door better - no knob and slightly different screen dimensions.
