    Fyi, I placed my antenna between the vents, under the dash when the radio was out.

    I used the sticky back to attach it up in there. It works best if its flat, not tilted. Attaching to the Rosen top works but it gets tilted when you install the radio.

    I stuck it to the vent hardware between the vents. Works well for me.

    let use Google approach. There are forums around NNG navigations. My best hint is gpsunderground.com or mobilepassion.com. There is no way to buy it directly from NNG, as they support just PNA devices.

    OK, so I got the whole Garmin package (XT/Maps and all that), but I am not too good with coding. Can anyone send me the working commands to run the software? Much thanks!

    OK, so I got Garmin running and I found the biggest problem I thought the Garmin XT software would fix for me. The navigation guide is not speed sensitive and I couldn't hear anything when I'm driving over 50mph because of road noise. Also when the voice guidance goes off, it only mutes the front speakers and the rears would keep playing music. So, if I were to play music at 20 volume, the rear speakers would outpower the voice guidance.

    And yes, I got all the navigation volumes tuned up. Please let me know what I can do to fix this =(

    can you tell me what version of garmin are you using in your rosen? In mine voice guidance stops in the middle of the sentence..... like: Lost satelite r........

    It is so annoying that I disabled voice guidance.

    Is Rosen a dead end at this point?
    I see some refurbished units on ebay slightly under $400.

    I can not seem to find any Rosen or OttoNavi head units for the Prius...were they discontinued?
