if you want an integrated GPS unit, pay a dealership to do it - but it will be expensive and Honda navigation is known for being near useless.
if your car has climate controls integrated with the factory radio, you can't replace the radio with a double din, just a single din since the mounting kit has climate controls buttons (like the Metra 99-7864). you could pay a car audio shop to fabricate a touch screen NAVI head unit into the pocket beneath the factory radio. you'd keep your factory radio for climate controls, then have the shop rewire to power speakers from the new NAVI unit.
if you just want GPS - buy a Garmin. The Garmin will be 10x better than the OEM navigation and much less expensive than your other options.

Nav
Good advice to buy a garmin instead of factory nav. My 09 Accord nav is pretty well useless unless you have no idea where you are going. It takes the most ridiculous routes no matter which method of mapping you choose. The dealer here even admitted that the Honda nav is a total waste of money. Honda Canada simply passes the buck and says see the dealer, not much on customer service. Even if they admitted the nav system is inferior I would feel better. I carry my garmin with me when I really want reliable navigation.
