I am in the middle of purchasing a 2006 4Runner and need a little help making a navigation decision. I am trying to decide between the factory nav or installing a pioneer avic (havn't decided on the exact model yet).
I searched the forum and found a lot of good answers, but also raised a few additional questions.
The primary advantage to the Pioneer nav is the XM Navtech, along with what appears to be a more satisfying navigation technology.
However, if I go with the Pioneer can it connect to the JBL 10 speaker system, or will I need to have just the 6 speaker system installed?
Also, it appears that people have added XM radio to their factory nav systems, along with steering wheel controls correct? This is a big factor for me since I love XM radio, but I don't really want to have the seperate unit installed (I'm living with that in my current vehicle, but don't want it in the new 4 Runner if it can be avoided).
I don't guess there is much chance that the factory nav will suddenly get upgraded to included XM Navtech....
