I don't think there are any car units that do, there are plenty of handheld GPS units that do (Someone on pocketgpsworld.com might know better) - Some TomTom's I believe allows you to enter Latitude and longitude (never used it on mine), there are online and smart phone converters that would allow you to convert grid to Latitude and longitude so might be a solution.

Might even be worth looking to see if any smartphone/tablet applications (combination of) will do what you want

My Garmin Zumo 550 accepts co-ordinates in almost any format you can think of as a destination. I don't know whether current versions will offer the same support.
