Default In-Dash NAV in Eroupe

I recently installed an In-dash unit with all the cool stuff(Bluetooth, Reverse cam, ipod, DVD, mp3, NAV......) into my camaro along with the custom doubledmods 2din bezel. Well I recently got orders to Germany. I called kenwood/garmin to see if I could load it with Europe maps. They said NO. I'd rather not get rid of the 2-din set up nor the reverse cam since its already installed and setup. I wanna get a new 2-din head for use in Europe. Must have Reverse cam, Bluetooth, NAV.
What are you guys using over there?

I'm using the BX special, that mounts on the windscreen when needed. IMO, this is the best way to go as you can get rid of it when you PCS back to America. Keep your current set up.

i would just pay a few bucks for a dash mount, you'll go back to the states to enjoy your HU in a few years. Most military communities have a bookoo/yard sale website where everyone sells their stuff when they pcs. You can always find a cheap GPS on there.
Or get a cheap garmin off amazon. I got one with US and Europe maps for $100 on there. My neighbor had the newer maps and POI (points of interest) and they uploaded on a mini SD card for me

That really blows on kenwoods part. When my wife and I went to Germany I took my USA spec stick on the windshield garmin and it worked perfectly.
