Can SRT's come with Nav?
 

I see a few listed in my area that say Navigation. Was this an option?

Re: Can SRT's come with Nav?
 

Yep. Same radio, just adds NAV. If you buy one, don't forget you'll need the 2 CD's too. Not too bad for a NAV, but a bit of a PITA to program, and no nice "map" style display.

It's not too bad for a stock radio, but definitely not the quality of a good after market unit. Also doesn't include several of the newer features in the marketplace, MP3, USB & IPods, HD Radio, NAV's /w nice color touch screen, Bluetooth, Satellite, etc., and better sound manipulation (more control over EQ, etc.). I expect that those who care will be compelled to upgrade at some point.

I actually had a hard time finding an Aero Blue one without Nav. I didn't want it, because I always have my Clarion Headunit of choice on stand-by.

Do all SRT radios have this feature and we just need the CD? if not how much do the nav radios run?

Re: Can SRT's come with Nav?
 

No. You could get the SRT-6 either with or without. If your radio doesn't have a "NAV" button, you don't have it.

It was a $1,500 option - or something like that, but people sell them for far less nowadays. Check the for sales area, or e-bay.

One other thing I left out earlier. If you purchase and install a radio with a NAV, you'll need the NAV antenna as well.

Actually it is not the same radio. The nav unit has more controls a better display (albeit a dot matrix, but much finer) and a considerably better sound. I didn't realize this until I rented a roadster with the standard radio. I can't say if it is worth the extra money now that the new aftermarket units have all the goodies mentioned at a reasonable cost. The nav does work well and the spoken directions "on demand" feature works very well. All you do is press the volume button and you get a voice response for the next direction and an ETA. This is especially helpful when you have long distances between directions. I have the "lady who lives in the radio" set to respond with a proper British accent! :D

The NAV's really aren't worth the extra cost. And the stock one is sort of a pain to use. Get one without NAV to save $ and get a Garmin Nuvi-350 at Amazon for $300. Stick it next to the rear view mirror and have touch screen maps, easy user interface, and lots more data available for trips.
