Any recommendation on GPS Navigation system?
By "without DVD", do you mean that you don't want a DVD-based nav
system, or that you don't need to be able to watch DVDs? Most of the good car nav systems are DVD-based, but you simply load the appropriate area DVD in the navigation unit (usually in the trunk), and leave it there. It's not for watching commercial DVDs. Others are dash-mount and allow you to view DVDs as well. Pioneer, Alpine, and most of the big names have some kind of nav solution for you. At a minimum, you need a DVD-reader, some kind of head unit to control it, and a screen to view it on. Figure on $1500-$2000 without installation. If you don't need the system to be tightly integrated with you car, I'd recommend one of the Garmin "Streetpilot" handheld units. They have nice color screens, give turn-by-turn directions with voice prompts, and you can take them with you from car to car. They store their maps on memory cards, and the nice ones start around $750. This would keep you from having to make any modifications to your car at all.

Checkout a Garmin StreetPilot3 Deluxe or Garmin StreetPilot 2610 , The
software loads to a memory card via PC USB programmer. The unit mounts on the dash via quick release mount or beanbag mount. It powers from a 12/24 volt cigarette lighter or 6AA batteries, making it user friendly if you plan to use it in multiple vehicles, you can also get a optional motorcycle mount if be needed. The color display is nice and sharp with turn by turn voice prompts. As for software it comes with a built in base map of North America and for street level mapping it comes with North American City Navigator software that covers the U.S. including Alaska and Hawaii and most major cities in southern to mid Canada. Optional maps for Europe, South Africa and Australia are available. The Garmin StreetPilot 2610 comes with a touch screen and a remote control.
