07 OEM Nav system in an 01 Yukon???

FWIW, our 2007 Escalade has the stock Nav, and it's a terrible unit. You can't do anything on the screen while driving, not even scroll through the list of radio stations. It's their way of promoting "safety" by not allowing you to touch anything, so if you're on the highway, you have to pull off of the freeway and stop if you want to make any changes to the route. Aftermarket Nav units aren't that expensive, and they're far better IMO.

Kenwood Navs use Garmin GPS units, and I personally prefer the Garmin to any other brand. I've always used Garmin and had great luck with their GPS units.

Pachanga, that's exactly what I'm looking for!! I don't want a flip up unit, because like I said earlier a flush mounted unit looks much cleaner IMO. abladeafficionado, that is a big heads up! I have seen a few nav systems that don't allow the user to make changes while moving, and I don't want that. I would have gone with a stock unit that fit if you hadn't said that. I think the Alpine unit might be what I'm looking for, judging from what both of you have stated. Flush mounted unit... after market so I am not restricted. I'll look into it. Is it pretty easy to install, or does it require modification? Do you think this is something that I should take to an audio shop to get installed?

Thanks for the help guys! I promise to send pics when I do the job!

I have been searching around for a new in dash. Is there any good brands that have 1.5 din ? I am debating on just modding my dash to take double din. I really do not want to buy an entire new dash kit. It seems like it would be fairly easy with a dremel and a heat gun and some sanding stuff?
