Navigation in mirror
 
Car Navigation - MN302S -- Rydeen

MN302S

Any good? Looking to see if anyone here used one or deals in these.

I have a feeling it's going to be too big and blocks your view. Either that or the nav screen will be too small to be of any use. It's a touchscreen?! from the looks of it, the screen is smaller than an iPhone screen. I would skip this and just get a Double DIN receiver with GPS or a portable GPS.

it's a neat idea where if it can also be used as a rearview camera. i suppose for a leased car that one doesn't want to deal with the hassle of installing a new HU, that would be the way to go...well, the camera will take some installation work unless wireless.

but honestly, that looks kinda clunky and cheap.... maybe okay on a SUV.

A buddy of mine has that exact one it is a little bigger than stock but not much it is a nice piece.

only a little bigger than stock? then the mirror might be too small for the Z... there's quite a bit of blind spots on the Z (minimized by positioning the side mirrors correctly) so might want to consider this as well.

The rear view mirror is almost useless to me anyway with the Nismo Spoiler. And who cares, they are behind me. :)

I have the Bose radio with Bluetooth. It will stay for a while because I have more important mods to do first.

I'm pretty much sold on my Google Maps & Nav app on my phone, and have been wearing it out since I moved to DFW two weeks ago. It works way better than any other nav or gps device I have seen, worked with, or owned. I don't even use my Megallan gps anymore. Even after updating the map software last year, it is nowhere near as up-to-date as Google maps. Most smartphones today have processors and memory that are way better than handhand gps devices. So it also works, responds, and reroutes instantly compared to my Megallan. That thing would sometimes take minutes to reroute. My Google Nav will reroute before the next road/exit.

not feeling it... i love the garmin ones that hang on the windsheild. at least you can follow it without taking your eyes way too much off the road.
