The question I have to ask is, why? And this is a genuine serious question to give time to.
I've been around the same loop more than once and have finally settled on staying OEM with my RNS-D.
Everyone is different, but in the end (for me) changing a mid-1990s system for an early 2000s system didn't really seem to be a priority. I have the car, and enjoy it immensely, for other reasons.
And with the various add-ons I've integrated (Xcarlink, DVB-T tuner and reversing camera) it does everything I need it to anyway.
