Cool 2006 GS non nav Conversion to NAV?

Hey all I am sure that this has been brought up before but I have a 2006 NON NAV GS (I was stupid for not buying it with nav)

and want to install Nav... So I was looking at two options since the climate control is going to seem like an issue......

1. Find a wrecked GS and buy the Nav/Bezel/Antenna etc etc

2. Install a single din in the changer slot, and have two screens?

Any help would be appreciated...

1) Finding a wrecked GS with NAV and etc may sound easy, but the wiring harnesses are not interchangeable.

Your best bet is 1) Portable nav or 2) trade up to a Nav car.

Is it tough to install yourself? Or should I have a stereo shop install.... I'm going to buy one as soon as I get details! OR call me 8583538108 thanks!

read his post, its from his iphone. also if you look at the picture you would see his car does not have navi. he is using his iphone to display navi from the phone onto the screen.

Just means I bypassed the video lockout for video in motion. Fairly easy to install. Did it myself.
