Aftermarket stock navi

[LaCroix08]

Is it possible to get the stock navi system installed aftermarket?
My only concern is the control near the cupholders.
I have been searching the net constantly but to no avail.
Someone help me out!
If I cannn, that's what I'm getting for graduation.

I believe it is possible to order through Mazda, but expect to pay at least as much as it costs as an option (>$1600). There are plenty of other options to get an integrated GPS solution. Here is a partial list:

In addition to the Chinese models listed in the previous post, Kenwood, Pioneer, and others make double DIN GPS stereo replacements that will fit. Just need a dash kit to make it look nice. Crutchfield includes the dash kit with your purchase, and it is available separately from several companies online as well. And some of those Kenwood/Pioneer/etc. units include all of the toys on the Chinese models as well. Not as cheap as the Chinese models, but still half or less of the cost of the stock GPS system, with a far easier installation.
