Edit: Sorry, it's a AVN 5500.

I figured I would write a short review about the Eclipse Navi system as I've had it alittle more than a year now...

Overall: Great unit, fits in very well with the WRX/STi lighting inside and almost looks stock. Good directions, Eclipse needs a couple map updates as it's sent me some odd places... overall though, if your going to use it I would say it's well worth the money!

Pros: Easy navigation that will re-route itself if you miss a turn. Programmable 'hot spots' that you can save in the system and easily select if you need directions.

Cons: Female voice-over can get annoying over time. Glare essentially "white's out" the screen and makes it hard to see anything in direct sun.

I dont have any pic's right now, i'll try to snap some this weekend if anyone is curious about the fit of it.

Hope this helps.

Know her mailing address/phone number? Send her a demand letter... one of my best friends is a Lawyer and said they work more times then they don't.

That happened to me with eBay as well (although not with my Nav)... filed a grievance with them and they refunded me my money. Although, I never got the product... which happened to be a christmas present so that kinda sucked.
