its really not that hard...i see u have 2011. idk if it differs alot from the 06 to 08.. You have to get a bezel for it.. it will move your a/c controls up and you just have to get a harness from like Technic to make it easier...

For example a Avic series:


or if you wanted to a single din:


There are some premade ones as well like this one: i wouldnt really do cuz you cant pick the radio that you want:




Just do some research.. It really isnt that hard. One thing to think about is, Do you want to keep your steering wheel controls? if so youll prob need a harness/adapter for that too

There's no meaningful way to put a fixed-screen navigation system in place of the OEM radio. It is simply too low to be of any practical use.

If you really need a usable navigation system and you want to replace the OEM radio, then it should be a system with a hideaway screen, which would open out and up (into the center vent area) or some other system with a separate screen.

Dynavin is good

I think the ipad mini is going to be the best way to add navigation and a host of other new things to cars.

I wouldn't do it, makes the interior look cheap.

Just my opinion.
