Options for Repacing Stock Nav & Bluetooth with High-End Upgrade?

:
2007 Mazda CX-9 GT AWD
I'm NOT planning to do this, but I'm curious whether there are any options for owners of CX-9's with Navigation and Bluetooth packages to upgrade to a higher-end system with superior graphics and integrated Bluetooth?

I suppose it would have to have some kind of interface for the CD player and radio, too. (And let's say for the sake of argument that the CX-9 also has a Rear Seat Entertainment System.)

I hate the fact that my Bluetooth handsfree system isn't integrated with the Nav system at all. And by any measure, the graphics on the stock Nav system are very 20th century. I had video games from the 1980's with better graphics.

If money were no consideration, what kind of upgrade options are available? I'd be happy with something running Windows CE or even something has the graphical ability of my LG ENV2 cell phone.
 
I remember seeing a post on here where someone had redone the NAV and sound system. I think it was a one off kind of thing though. I don't think they make any aftermarket systems specifically for the CX-9. I could be way off base here, but that's what I remember hearing.
 
I think the 2009 is already much better than our 2007 or 2008 models in term of graphics and resolution.
Mazda shared the NAVI part with Toyota (supplier is Denso, Japan).
Toyota moved to the newer version with 2008 model, but Mazda started with 2009.
Our 2007/8 models, unfortunately have the older version of graphics.
 
What's considered to be the best all-around nav + bluetooth system out there, either stock or as an aftermarket update?

I mean in general, not specifically for the CX-9.

This '07 CX-9 is my first nav system and my first bluetooth equipped car, so there's a novelty factory at work that makes me less critical than I should be. I'd like to see what a really kick-ass nav system looks like. Where should I look?
