I LOVE the honda in dash navigation system. (I have an accord so it's slight
different than the civics)

that being said, from what ive' read about puting in the factory nav after
it's built, it's is definetly NOT worth it. it will cost you approx 2,000
for all the parts, plus time and aggrivation, I'd say spend half of that and
get a good indash navi if you'd like (pioneer makes a good one, not sure of
the model)

I'd also recommend getting a portable unit like a garmin or tomtom. the
obvious advantage is you can take it from car to car.

As good as the honda unit is, it's deifnetly not worth the time or effort to
put in after the fact. trust me on this.
