Are there any double din GPS units that only do GPS? I don't have any need for dvd or anything like that.

[richard_k]

Don't you think the screen is sitting wayyy too low? When using the GPS, you want the screen to be as close to eye level as possible.. which is why the GPS/multi-display is moved up above the a/c vents on the CU2. On most cars with (factory) GPS, this is where the screen sits -- top of dash.
Otherwise, you'll have to look down occasionally while driving.. not good.

it is abit low but you sorta get use to it. i use my gps heaps and its also situated in the same position as this. would be better if it was abit higher but thats not the option for cl9 owners.

[richard_k]

yeah exactly biee2 :D
i dn't even use the gps function itself much..very handy for the ipod thoigh use it all the time for that haha
