Like the title says, I'm looking for a toddler car seat and a navigation system. If anyone is selling one of those, or can point me in the right direct I would appreciate it. Thanks.

I hope you find a decent deal. Carseats are a massive rip-off in Korea. We can buy a better quality carseat from Wal-mart for $40 than a 200,000 won E-mart special here in Korea.

By the way, I have had INAVI navigation models for years. They honestly haven't changed a whole lot, but what they do is keep coming out with several new models per year that aren't a whole lot different than the old ones. The 3D maps look really cool with the newer models, and screens are bigger, but actually, I don't think they're necessary. I keep mine in the 2D mode just looking down at the road from above. Seems to work best for me to find where I want.

If you don't need a lot of frills (TV DMB, for example) then I'd buy an older INavi UP model, for example. You could bid on this and try to snag a deal, but I wouldn't go more than 70,000 for it, IMHO:

Another older model that actually does have DMB is the Inavi Smart:

or here for a cheaper one:

I actually liked the smart model because it has buttons on the face that you can just push. All of the newer models require you to hunt Korean menus to find what you want. It's nice just to have buttons, IMO.

This Viliv brand uses Inavi software, and has DMB. Auction ends soon:
