Nissan Debuts $400 In-Car Navigation Option

Low-cost, in-car navigation systems may finally be on the horizon. Mazda unveiled a $500 nav option for the 2010 Mazda 3 sedan a while back, and Suzuki is also selling a (very poorly integrated) one. Now Nissan is planning to make available a $400 option for the Sentra, and possibly other vehicles, as early as January.
Detroit News reports that the system will feature a 5-inch touch screen, an intuitive interface, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, and XM satellite and XM Traffic NavTraffic. It also charges iPods and iPhones.
Once you get into the $400 and under range, it becomes much more appealing to have the unit integrated neatly in the dashboard–especially since Nissan’s unit works with an optional backup camera. Try that with a standalone PND.
