Factory Nav ... Good or Bad?

I like the factory Nav. It has a great ipod interface and there are settings (like delayed headlights) that can only be adjusted with the Nav. The aftermarket systems are great, but they can be a bit of a challenge to install in the touring model. They are much easier with the base. The factory Nav also works great with the steering wheel controls. It is the exact same set-up as the G37 except it doesn't have the rear-view cam.

I actually really like that I can control everything about the car from the Nav. I used to have an Alpine IVA-W205 w/Blackbird Nav installed in my old RSX and I enjoy using the factory Nav in this a whole lot more.

Thanks man! Thats what I was thinking from playing with them in test driving the G37 .. So I was hoping it was going be that way.. The only thing I will need is a backup cam.
