#573 of 1265 Aftermarket Nav integrated with the dash screen? by nojets Mar 01, 2008 (7:32 am)
Since GM doesn't get it - they are leaving Nav out of the G8 even in the 09, anyone know of a aftermarket install that integrates with the dash screen? Replies to this message: fsmmcsi (Mar 01, 2008 12:14 pm)

Replying to: circlew (Feb 22, 2008 6:15 am) I hate to rain on everyone's parade, but the following review said the G8 GT's exhaust note is very quiet and dull. NOT at all how a V-8 should sound:   http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/hot_lists/car_shopping/family_four_doors/200- - - - 8_pontiac_g8_gt_road_test   Maybe it's not too late for the GM Performance Division guys to find a way to improve it, so it at least SOUNDS like a V-8. They did an outstanding job of making the LS4 motor sound respectable in my new car (2008 LaCrosse Super), so there's no reason why they can't do the same with the L-76 engine's sound. And they had better not make the same mistake with the GXP's LS3 motor.

Replying to: nojets (Mar 01, 2008 7:32 am) No company will make something which uses the existing screen, so you will have to replace the entire head unit. I installed a top of the line Pioneer system in my Explorer, complete with Bluetooth, XM, XM NavTraffic, and a backup camera. including four speakers, I spend about $2,500, and it is a better system that most factory units. Yes, GM should stop pushing On-Star by making naviagtion systems unavailable, but there are alternatives. There are even adapter boxes to make aftermarket systems work with the steering column buttons on many vehicles.   ipstax1 - If you want it to be louder, you can go to any exhaust shop and change the mufflers. Complete aftermarket systems will surely also be available.

Replying to: jpstax1 (Mar 01, 2008 9:44 am) What is this obsession that people have with wanting noisy cars? I read that part of the review and took it to be a very positive sign - a powerful V8 engine that won't rattle my fillings out? What more could I ask for.   As the previous poster said, if you want to drive a noisy car, change the mufflers out for some mufflesses.

http://www.topspeed.com/cars/index310.html   http://www.topspeed.com/cars/pontiac/2008-pontiac-g8-test-drive-ar53326.html   The video roughly in the middle of the page entitled: Pushing the V8 to 100MPH   .. suggests to me that you can hear the exhaust - at least a full throttle... - Ray Yum...
