The Civic NAVI is basically just NAVI and comes in a go go gadget like form factor as it has mechanical arms and motors that swing it up and out of the way when you need to access the disc/memory area of the head unit behind the LCD. Very youth oriented in its looks but poor functionality given the ease at which it could be broken.

___What the Civic NAVI lacks is the TC w/ FCD, XM, Real Time Traffic and rear view camera. It has a smaller LCD as well … The Acura TL lacks the TC w/ FCD, Real Time Traffic, and rear view but includes XM. It also has far fewer voice commands then the rest of the Honda/Acura lineup for some reason? The RL and MDX NAVI’s have the TC w/ FCD, XM, and rear view w/ the RL having Real Time traffic via service for a fee. The Accord w/ NAVI has the TC FCD and XM but no rear view or Real Time Traffic.

___I would think long and hard before adding the basic NAVI to an HCH-II or 06 EX. NAVI is great but there many other NAVI options available that are far less expensive. Just make sure you purchase with your eyes wide open is all …

Hi xcel; thanks for the additional info. on Nav's.

___Good Luck
