i tried to search for this...
when you get this system, if i dont want xm radio or nav traffic, is there a service charge that is related to the navigation alone. like yearly or monthly? if so how much?
sorry for the dumb question.

yes there is an extra charge, not sure how much, and it's every month, i think it may be $14.99 a month or something

 

No, there are no charges to use the navigation part of the unit. Only extra services like XM, NavTraffic, and Sirius require an extra subscription

 

I think he means XM Traffic only.

$10 a month for Traffic only.

$16.94/month for Traffic and XMRadio.

 

geez, your so right, sorry i thought you wanted to know how much Nav Traffic was....but yeh there's no charge for GPS (Navi) that's the good part compared to a OnStar (which i know offers more features)

 

does anyone know how well this unit works, the navi and/or navtraffic? especially east coast, tristate area. is the vehicle tracking and accuracy good?

 

honestly i just had mine installed last week, so i really havent put it to the test....I'm used to my garmin 2610 which i fell in love with when i drove over 2,500 miles over spring break and never got lost.....from what i can tell it's just as good but with a ton more features
