Really gettingused to the NAV TECH system
I have gotten quite used to the basic functions of the voice activated NAV TECH system. I have already paired two motorola phones to it with my wife's RAZR phone having just a little more difficulty to link up.
The NAV system seems pretty intuitive, except that recognition of some letters can be a little frustrating...
I find the map system to be very accurate and up to date.
Anyone here from Canada was given a free sample DVD-audio disc when they bought their RDX?

There is a downside. I've been using nav systems for several years now, and frankly, I don't remember how to get anywhere now. It's kinda like letting someone else do the driving and not paying attention to where you are going. It wouldn't be good to have the system go down and be lost forever!

Now, if the Harmony broke, I wouldn't know how to do anything in my living room any more. I could end up sitting in there in the dark until I starved to death...

Harmony is universal remote controls made by Logitech. I have a Harmony 880. Instead of using 4 remotes I use 1 Harmony. They are great.

Then there are the stories of people just steering off the road because a malfunctioning Nav said "Turn left now".

Basically it remembers the state of your system and does everything relative to that state - and is able to go from one state (say "watching a DVD") to another (say "watching cable") with the fewest remote commands possible since it compares the start state to the end state and only sends commands for what is different.
For this to work, though and in speaking to the problem RDXSteverino had, you have to use it for all state changes (i.e. don't turn anything on or off with some other remote otherwise it won't know what the current state is). This is a pretty reasonable restriction since the remote has well organized buttons for 95% of what you need a remote for and pages of auxilliary commands for anything else. And if you need to use some buttons on another remote, that is fine too, as long as you go back to the Harmony for turning things on/off/changing tasks. I only really pick up another remote maybe once every 6 months for things like accessing the device's setup menus and other customization modes.
