Urban Runner Radio/Nav/Tom Tom into 4th Gen?

Register to hide this ad
I am close to buying an Urban.
The satellite radio is NOT included...the radio is "satellite ready" but you have to get the receiver installed at the dealer. I finally got that info clear yesterday...
 
I have a Limited now and was looking into trading for the Urban Runner. I have made up my mind that I do not think I will be happy with the tomtom unit and the poor stereo that is in the Urban package. After shopping around, the Limited is basically only about 4-5k more and I can get the better Nav and keep heated seats, etc.

The dealerships are making great offers and I am close to getting another Limited....
 
I brought a 2008 black urbanrunner about a week ago. I love it! I came from an 02 Xterra, so I'm still getting used to all the creature comforts and power.

The only thing I don't like is the Tomtom NAV unit. If I had never used a garmin before it would probably be fine. The stereo wasn't a deal breaker for me because I've always done an aftermarket stereo. In doing some research it is basically an Eclipse AVN2210p bottom barrel gps. Sure it has a whole list of features, just doesn't execute them very well. About 4 days after I bought my 4runner the tomtom unit bricked it's self. I hadn't even used it for more than a radio yet. In troubleshooting i realized that I should have backed up the SD card before ever plugging it in to the truck. I called tomtom and they were able to give me a link to restore the unit (900mb download).

Anyway, this morning I ordered a Kenwood DNX5120 I love the idea of having Garmin NAV and a rotery volume knob. I also picked up some Infinity Kappa series 6 1/2" compents for the front doors. I"ll post some pics of the install and a review once I get the gear installed.
 
Further research

......indicates that one of the best for nav traffic is the JVC double din (no bluetooth) I talked with a rep today. says for traffic these are superior. going to take a look this week. He also talked about the detachable face plate. a real plus while in this urban environment.
