Doesn't HAVE to be but that would be the easiest.
If you are considering an in-dash unit I encourage you to re-think that.
Multi-function in-dash hardware can be a pain; if one function quits you often must replace the whole thing.....at your expense if it's out or warranty.
Also regardless of what make and model you end up considering, be SURE to find out if and how you update the built-in maps.....and how much that will cost. Often updating the maps costs more than buying a new stand-alone Garmin (as an example).
