I am wondering if anyone makes an integrated GPS solution with AM-FM-CD that
would fit into a 2004 Sonata radio slot? The space the radio and CD player
occupy is quite large. It seems an after market system might fit.

I'd also like to know the answer to that. I usually use my little
portable Garmin GPS, but an in dash would be nice

 

With the number of automakers now including or offering in-dash GPS
navigation, you would think there would be a fair demand for after-market
installations and opportunity for companies to offer solutions.

Have you looked at www.crutchfield.com ?

Thanks. Website not specific enough with dimensions for in-dash screen
unit, plus outrageously priced. $2,500 for in-dash navigation is a little
pricey. I don't think Mercedes-Benz charges that much for their optional
unit. It would be nice if after market retailers could tell you what cars
the unit actually fits.

Crutchfield goes into plenty of detail. You just need to know about
the vehicle that you own. The Sonata has a Double-DIN stereo. That
means that most units will only occupy half of the space. I have only
ever seen one DD monitor but it doesn't have a Nav system.

I agree, although it would be even better if when buying a new car, you
could say to the dealer: "Install a [insert brand here] - [insert model
here] unit in the car." Sadly too many marques offer (if you're lucky)
three different units... base, plus, and premium. And worse, try to buy a
car without a stereo: "Can you delete it for credit?" ... No, and then they
will even charge you to remove it and charge you for the blank filler.
