GPS in SVX?
Has anyone heard of or installed navigation in their svx? Just testing the waters to see if it is even doable...

Should be do-able. I've been looking at doing that with mine. The radio cage should fit most standard double slot sized systems, and then it's just a matter of installing the GPS receiver and nav system, if it's a separate thing.

I haven't looked too in depth, but I would imagine that any of the double-DIN sized units would work. Something like the Pioneer AVIC-Z2 and AVIC-C3. The roll out screen models don't work as well because the radio cage sits too far into the dash, and the screen can't rotate fully upright without hitting the panel above, plus it would block the climate controls.
Here's the link to Pioneer's nav units: http://www.pioneerelectronics.ca/pna...249639,00.html Some nav units have the screen which fits into the dash, and a second "box" which is the actual navigation processor that has to be installed somewhere else. Pioneer (as far as I know) has everything built into the dash unit. There's the reciever antenna, which has to be mounted somewhere too. SVXdc makes/sells wire harness adapters, which should make everything work just fine.

I just checked the dimensions of the radio cage. It is 7-1/16" wide, 4" tall, and 6-5/8" deep. The space between the cage and the radio cover door (closed) is between 7/8" and 2".
http://www.geocities.com/svxdc/Audio...2-RadioRemoval ; Section 2.4.1. That should be a perfect fit for any double-DIN standard size unit.

Keep in mind that the bottom of the face of whatever you install can't come forward too far, or the door will get hung up on it (on the door's inside black panel) about a third of the way closed.

I think as long as it it a double DIN with max 4" of opening it will fit?
Kenwood DNX7100 is one. Kinda pricey though! Quote:
