Anyone know if you can get the dealer to put in the Mini Naivigation system after market. It is the only feature I wish that I would have ordered.

I doubt if you can get the dealership to install the factory satnav -- and it would definately cost much more than $1600!

Probably your best bet at this time is to look to the aftermarket. Something like a Garmin stand-alone unit (i.e., GPSV, Street Pilot) or an iPAQ GPS solution. I actually have two different GPS devices -- a Garmin GPSV, which is pretty nice, but isn't color and there isn't any voice navigation. Very portable though, which is the main reason I have it (I take it with me when I go on buisness trips). The other one is a modified Destinator setup that is mounted in the dash. This one has voice and color, and is really accurate. I have some pictures HERE. I have since upgraded from the Compaq iPAQ 3635 to an HP 5455. I have put it up on eBay if you're interested in it. It can be seen HERE. It doesn't include the Destinator GPS hardware though.
