First off, welcome.

Second off, what car do you have? What year?

That'll help us a lot more to answer your question.

You CAN do it, but it would be a very long and tedious process.

I would just recommend going with an Avic D3.

yeah, aftermarket is the way to go. to get the stock navi to work, your going to have to do a bunch of wireing stuff.

Not worth the hassle and not as expandable.

I was wondering the same thing as well. It looks like it would be way too much of a hassle. I was searching Ebay and came across this. I take it there is more to getting navi to work than just this part?

only bad thing is 1 dvd slot ! thats the only bads about it
i had d3 in my acura i loved it never had a problem
the video picture is great ! sound wise ! is great also i had stock bose in my acura it was very nice
i got the d3 when it 1st came out i think i paid around $600 and some thing !
its very worth it brand new no less !
i also had pionner avic n2 in my honda ! many problems with that ! screen wont open the screen went black !

here is a pix of my honda with avic n2
Question: Can you add a rear camera input to this screen?
Thx
