Did you try E-Bay? A guy posted a link a week ago or so to E-Bay with some listings for those.

Besides the head unit, you need the navi antenna, a radio antenna adapter, and it will need to be reprogrammed to work w/your truck. Your probably going to be close to 1k when it's all said and done.

 

I would go aftermarket. A buddy of mine has the same truck and I just installed the Eclipse 6620 in his about a week or two ago. I have the the Pioneer Z2 and I love it. He went with the Eclipse b/c he got a great deal on it. Crutchfield is now selling it for $799 with free bluetooth adapter

I bought mine on ebay...it was a little more $$ than others on there, but the guy took my specs, pre-programmed the unit, and included the antenna and adapter I needed, had it installed in about an hour.

 

I don't know what the new king ranches have in them, but below is what I'm doing.

I'm in the process of installing one in my truck (04 heritage), but it will be alot less. I haven't bought a GPS unit or backup camera yet so that will probably cost an additional $200 or so, but my total is looking at around $575 with the mentioned pieces.

I think it all depends if you plan on doing it yourself or having it done.

Computer - Free from neighbors
1/2" MDF (1/2 sheet) - ~$15
10.4" Samsung Touchscreen - ~$250
160w Power Supply - ~85
DVD Drive - ~$25
Carpet for box ~ $25 (could be wrong, just estimating)

I will also have a few other apps on the computer (such as birding software (already bought) cause I do bird photography).

 

you can get a pretty good touch screen unit for about $500, but a decent nav system is going to run you like 800 or more

 

I just purchased a stock unit from an 07 Expedition and had it re-programed for my 06 f150 and it works great. Very easy to install. With reprogramming I spent a total of about $700 and that was with everything I needed . I got the unit and programmed off ebay.

 

Sounds like a good deal!!

 

Hey Wright, where are you located? I've got a really nice Pioneer stereo system for sale right now. It includes a 7" flip out touch screen and navigation system too:

Take a look at the AVIC F700BT, you can find it for less than 500 a few places online. It has NAV as well.
