Alpine Navigation
 

I have the Alpine IVA W505 head unit in my vehicle and never got the navigation unit installed. Does anyone know the part number for the correct unit so I can have navigation ? Any help would be great. Thanks!

Blackbird gps, but don't bother it's crap

Nav units compatible with W505. From oldest to newest.

Blackbird = Piece of shit
Blackbird II = New and improved piece of shit (meaning worse)
NVE-P1 = Still a piece of shit
NVE-M300 = best one from the pile of shit Alpine puts out.

How do I know? I have the Blackbird II and the NVE-P1 for my W505. I would not wish these pieces of shit on my enemies, let alone my friends.

I'd go with the NVE-M300 if you really, really, really need to stay with Alpine. Save the money and go with a standalone nav unit from Garmin or any other company. Alpine just has shitty nav units. The deck itself is nice.

The man hath spoken! ^^^

thanks for the heads up. I will just get a standalone. thanks
