PT296-47130 module enables navigation and Entune (as opposed to BeSpoke)

So I would need to get PT546-00140 regardless of which PT296-XXXXX module I choose, the nice thing is that we actually get to choose which module we prefer.

Furthermore we would need the:
GPS Antenna - $17.99
Harness - $37.95

Just wanted to make this as concise as possible.

$1400 for the stereo just seems like much more of a ripoff than the $895 I paid for the original BeSpoke by Zephyr (read: crap) stereo. From everything I was hearing I was under the impression that the unit with navigation was going to be approximately $550, which I thought was more than reasonable for what it was. Even at $1100 (another number I heard being thrown around) it didn't sound all that bad, but I feel like it's a real price gouging just to have things that I find commonplace on a number of other cars in this price range for an upgraded system with navigation.

Sorry it took me so long to get my thoughts sorted out in this post.
that is all correct (except the $37 part is a bracket/install kit, not a harness). if you buy the nav module (no bespoke or entune) for $590 then you're looking at about $1200 for a complete NAV which is very reasonable for a COMPLETE nav for OEM (including the head unit for $525). remember, you can probably sell the bespoke head unit for $500 on ebay.
