Does anyone know what brand is the stock Navi?
Don't answer by saying "Rockford Fosgate" :p

BTW i tried to post this under EVO X Electronics & Audio and i'm not allowed.

To the best of my knowledge it is a factory Mitsubishi Electronics unit. I could be wrong, they may use some sort of supplier, but I am almost certain that it was developed by Mitsubishi Motor's sister company.

Yes, I'm pretty sure that it's a Mitsubishi unit (like the "Rockford" units in the non-navs).

I wouldn't blame Rockford for actually designing/producing any of the actual components in the car.

Yeah, Rockford just provides the factory amp, speakers and sub on the SSS equipped cars. They aren't responsible for the head units, although they place the Rockford Fosgate logo on the base head unit and the MMCS as well (I peeled mine off as soon as I took delivery of the car, LOL).

My 2005 Matrix XRS had a JBL system in it similar to the Evo's SSS, just speakers, amp and sub. They also placed a JBL Logo on the head unit.

They're not really responsible for the crappy amp and speakers either.

Remember the "Suspension By Lotus" Isuzus back in the day? They were far from having Lotus Built Suspension. Had to do with licensing a name and they may have had a hand in saying "Use this spring rate, this strut, and make the sway bars like this".

You traded in your gsr for the MR? Why? Also you paid 33k out the door? thats pretty good, what packages did it have on it? or was it all basic?
