    I am wondering if anyone makes an integrated GPS solution with AM-FM-CD that
    would fit into a 2004 Sonata radio slot? The space the radio and CD player
    occupy is quite large. It seems an after market system might fit.

    I'd also like to know the answer to that. I usually use my little
    portable Garmin GPS, but an in dash would be nice :)

    With the number of automakers now including or offering in-dash GPS
    navigation, you would think there would be a fair demand for after-market
    installations and opportunity for companies to offer solutions.

    Thanks. Website not specific enough with dimensions for in-dash screen
    unit, plus outrageously priced. $2,500 for in-dash navigation is a little
    pricey. I don't think Mercedes-Benz charges that much for their optional
    unit. It would be nice if after market retailers could tell you what cars
    the unit actually fits.

    Crutchfield goes into plenty of detail. You just need to know about
    the vehicle that you own. The Sonata has a Double-DIN stereo. That
    means that most units will only occupy half of the space. I have only
    ever seen one DD monitor but it doesn't have a Nav system.

    I agree, although it would be even better if when buying a new car, you
    could say to the dealer: "Install a [insert brand here] - [insert model
    here] unit in the car." Sadly too many marques offer (if you're lucky)
    three different units... base, plus, and premium. And worse, try to buy a
    car without a stereo: "Can you delete it for credit?" ... No, and then they
    will even charge you to remove it and charge you for the blank filler.
