What's the best navigation system to fit in a navpod.

Hey everyone, I've ordered my nav pod and am looking for advice regarding the best tablet/screen/system to run. I'm looking for that factory feel and functionality while being able to use the display as my navigation/digital radio/camera monitor.

Thanks in advance for the advice! Doing my best to not mess things up.

Pioneer AppRadio4
- app based nav, no constant updates
- android or apple integration
- itunes
- bluetooth phone
- rear camera
- aux inputs

the hardest part is finding a cable to remote mount the screen since the complete unit will not fit in the OEM nav pod.

For me, it was the ease of doing this as a DIY. I only use it for Bluetooth to the cell, direction, traffic report and backup camera.

Thanks! Super helpful. Curious, has the mounting location for the CPU been a problem after having this setup for a while. Doesn't sound like a bad idea to me.

Very specific question here...do you use Spotify on your AppRadio4? Haven't been able to find a clear answer on if it is compatible...looks like it was but is not currently listed in the apps mentioned on the Pioneer spec page.

Also, if you have a lead on where to find one of those cables I'd be happy to hunt it down.

Thanks again.

Awesome Frankie...Thanks for making this so detailed.

Going to check out a few options and see what folks have at the Mideast Mini NSXPO in 2 weeks.

Appreciate it!

I've had it mounted in the passenger footwell for about 6 months, works great!
The cable is a 45" 60pin ribbon cable with 0.5 mm spacing-I can look for more details later. I found it on a "eBay" like site for electronics, it was a cable for the inside of a LG flat screen TV.

And the Spotify icon is on my "apple car play" screen, it should work. But I don't use it..I have a big iTunes library.

this is the type of cable you need:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/60-Pin-POWE...hash=item3f47f14690:m:mSjd5hkKVlnMUtBov0UXr2Q

if you can find one the that is at least 40 inches.

I'm going to reach out to the seller of this cable to see if he has any leads.

Thank you much.

I would suggest to think of using Phone plus built in charger with an option to adjust the dimensions of phone/flush look. All others become obsolete over time. Good luck! post pics.
