Default Satelite navigation for the S2000.

I did my homework(search) but I get multiple answers.
I want your opinion on the best navigation system/radio/Cd/MP3 combo! Am not talking about folding screens etc, since the radio cd compartment can accomodate a simple unit without a folding screen. Am looking something similar like the JVC KDNX10. Unless of course there are other ways accomodating one on the S.

hardware:
i have a pda, (iapq5550), a bluetooth gps reciever by Clip-on and a pair of ear buds or a FM audio link.

sofware:
mapopolis (functional not the very best)

with a mp3 in the background playing, use the gps software voice prompts, i get there just the same. i can take this setup on the cycle or use in in any other car too. never got it stolen. with a custom fit ear bud the audio is better than functional. in the scheem of things the earbuds are not expensive. with this theft is not an issue.

the audio is everso wild with the sportbike.

The PDA solutions are nice. Alpine is releasing an update of theirs (popular on this board, and I'll be getting it) and it'll interface with XM on their NAVTEQ setup (it downloads traffic information and reroutes based on that).

Pioneer's will be featuring that as well in their flip screen AVIC unit, but that won't work in our cars.

Hands down, Eclipse AVN2454 with some dash cutting.

Slots for s CD and a DVD at once and it calculates LA to NY cross country in <6 seconds. I've played with it and the AVIC side by side and I loved the Eclipse.

^ In an S2000? I don't think so. In other cars, yes. I think it's a standard double-din size so the regular dash cutting threads would apply.
