if you install an aftermarket navi unit, do you have to pay for service?? or is it free when you buy the navi unit??

No service fees, but at points in the future you may want to buy an upgraded map source (most all are on DVD) with new roads and points of interest in your area

Yep, lots of threads on that (I have one in mine, an Eclipse) if you care to search. Pioneer, Alpine both popular too.

Don't forget some of the aftermarket external/standalone navs that are very good as well (Garmin, tomtomgo, etc). May make sense if this is a car you are going to put a bunch of miles on and sell + if you park in bad areas it's less attractive to thieves since you can hide or take it inside with you.

depends on each unit. No on the Eclipse, but it has something that disables it though.
