All -- Looking at buying a good double Din Sat Nav unit for the car to replace the frankly useless PCM 2.1 - have been searching on here but there isn't really a definitive view on what the best one out there at the moment is. Does anyone have views or first hand experiences?

Top priority is a 3D Sat Nav with 7 digit codes and proper iphone 5S linkage.

Saw this unit and thought it was quite good but would appreciate views.

I was thinking of doing the same in mine - till I realised how awful an aftermarket system will look in place. I spoke to OPC in Sussex a month or so ago and apparently Porsche are releasing a software update to allow full postcode search + euro map update. He advised to wait till the New Year and then upgrade...
Thanks for all the replies. Like the look of that Alpine - there is apparently an 8" unit that fits as well...

This 7" one in the US looks a decent install

On the look of it - have seen a few fantastic installs online and they look better than the standard 2.1 set-up to be fair. What I really want to know is what's the best for Sat Nav and iPhone out of the Alpine / Kenwood / Pioneer etc makers?? I have heard Garmin on Kenwood is decent but don't have much else to go on...
