New NAV Head Unit Suggestions???

Hey guys,

I'm looking to replace the BRZ head unit as I want to upgrade the entire audio system.

What I like about the stock head unit is being able to speak rather than type in my NAV destination. This is the one feature I MUST have as I can change destination while driving without taking my eyes off the road/highway. Also I don't want it using the NAV off of my cell phone. It must have it's own NAV.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I'm planning on getting the Pioneer AVIC-X850BT in mine. It has pretty much all the features of the 950BH, but without the traffic info, HD radio and for $100 cheaper.

Amazon has them regularly for ~$600.

I live right outside of Springfield, MA

I'm thinking I may change everything except the head unit for now and see if I enjoy the upgrades.

I did just order the Vortech SC kit
