Default Aftermarket Navi-Screen options and Premium Sound

2007 XC90

I have this kind of a dash stereo configuration:




And i want to either replace this unit with a double din for a touch screen video Nav system (preferred) or if there is one that pops up on top of the dash but also can pop down. But I don't want to loose any capabilities the premium sound has. Has anyone done this recently?

To get a taste of what changing a head unit in a xc90 involves look at this post. It can be done - but is not straight forward. Volvo did offer a pop up navigation screen/system in the center speaker grill, a reverse camera view was possible also - except the screen took so long to rise you were already driving away by the time the screen was up. I had a Ipod interface from IMIV.ca (not sure if they are sold anymore) that would display movies/video on that screen in one of my cars - And I have seen aftermarket solutions installed in place of the Volvo screen. Don't forget you like to use the steering wheel controls also that you might lose.

It's all about what it's worth to you. I've seen some very nice aftermarket sound systems/bluetooth/nav in Volvos - but I would never spend that much on a 15 year old car.
