Has anyone looked into this

Hey I'm new to the forum and have loved all the great ideas. I'm thinking of replacing my factory radio with this one I found here

9567 Chevrolet HHR 2006-2011 K-Series In Dash Multimedia Navigation System

Just wondering if anyone has this installed or has considered it. Thoughts? Opinions? Any input is welcome!

Radios etc are an integral part of the HHR computer system and just make sure it is compatible with the electronics. Even though it says it is an HHR component. For navigation GPS, I found it is cheaper to get a Garmin system which just plugs into the 12V power supply and you can change it from car to car.

I don't think I'd fool with it. My android phone does all my nav work now, AND I can get it to pull the addresses from emails or websites, so I don't have type it properly to get to the right place...

Thanks for the input. I was mostly interested in it because it was touchscreen and had Bluetooth for calls. Oh, and it had a decent layout. I don't really care about the GPS function as much since I too use my Android for that

Have a look at Crutchfield.com, they have better selection and can tell you exactly what you need. I like brands such as kenwood pioneer or alpine.

Hello,
DO NOT BUY IT!

I bought 2 of these K-Series from OttoNavi and they wouldn't work at all. Its not plug and play..The wires did not match up in the plug for my 07 or 08 models. If I cut or re-pinned the plug I couldnt return and lose the warranty.
Further the radio messes with your CAN BUS. My instrument cluster was going crazy.
Worst part it doesn't fit in the stock radio bezel. Its 1/8" too wide at the top.
Doesn't sound to bad but it was pinching both radio knobs?

I asked OttoNavi if anyone had put these in a HHR? The said NO I was the 1st. I sent them back and got my refund and they pulled this radio from the HHR option page.

Cheers ~
