Disappointing Alpine/Chrysler Nav System
I just took delivery on a 2006 C, and cannot begin to tell you all how disappointed I was with the overall performance and appearance of this hi priced option. Our friend just got a Civic with navigation, and his device is head and shoulders above this one. His is easy to access, has voice recognition, detailed maps and a great L A R G E touch screen. The Alpine's knobby-joystick looks like a strong breeze will break it off. The Alpine device will certainly do what I need it to do, but it really ranks a D- compared to other OEM from much less expensive cars.
We did get the AC software, but our dealership is going to pay for the AD disc when it becomes available. I spoke with Alpine support yesterday, and they said it IS officially out, although they haven't gotten any for shipment yet.
