I'm considering getting a Garmin module for my Kenwood 8034BT LCD head unit, so that I would have an integrated navigation + AV + handsfree phone system. Currently have a Garmin 1490T portable unit, and I'm sure with this one I can use the Roadguide.ph contributor maps once I get a contributor status. However, I'm not sure if in-dash Garmin modules such as the Kenwood G431 would still be able to unlock contributor maps.

Anyone here using such non-portable Garmin units? Any luck with Roadguide.ph contributor maps?

I just wanted to make sure before I go ahead buying the Garmin module, coz it's quite expensive.
