Yeah.

You spent $2000 for that system, which is built in and which you cannot
take from car to car. You also cannot choose what features you want.

You could spend $500 for a nice portable system that does all you want
and much more, and which goes from car to car.

Spend the $500, and get a Garmin system that does what you want.
