We took a little 1100 mile “mini-trip” to Palm Desert and we are so glad we did. We had several “aha” moments on this trip.
AHA Moment Number 1: Our Garmin only allows for one via point. One. Uno. Holy socks, Batman, we can’t travel across the country and only have one via point. We need hundreds. We just bought the nuvi 50LM and I am really bummed. Not sure yet what we are going to do to solve this problem.
AHA Moment Number 2: We LOVE our Kenwood eXcelon KDC-X997. I can’t say enough good things about it. However, I recently learned that we could have retrofitted a Kenwood DNX691 or Kenwood DNX891 into the console of our Boxster and had BOTH great sound and an integrated Garmin GPS. At this point, we can’t afford to upgrade again or we won’t have enough money for the trip. So I am letting you all know that there is a better solution than we have implemented and I only wish I’d known this before buying and installing the eXcelon KDC-X997 and before buying the Garmin nuvi 50LM. We could have paid a little more and had it all in one place. Poop! Rod from Car Audio Innovations has a kit and a special Porsche Start Up Screen for the Kenwood DNX691 and Kenwood DNX891. We could have had it all.
Other than those two “oops”, the car seems ready and we are beginning to get very excited. We almost have our packing list put together, so that will be the next blog.
Stay tuned . . .
