Can someone please confirm if it's possible to use an aftermarket navi head unit to replace a defective OEM navi unit?

I just installed the Chinese unit in my 2011. That black wire that comes out of the back of the unit is supposed to the factory isb harness. I think only MY2010+ has this option. Previous years may have to do it the ghetto way like you did. The connection is made by the shifter, under the center console.

Every thing is working great, but radio stations. Just like others here, the numbers are way off. For about $750 savings compared to FA, I say it's a good trade off.

I see you installed this unit. What did you do with your stock nav unit?

i didn't have the stock nav unit. It was just a general question for existing oem units and if they can be replaced....

for those of you who installed this unit, where did you leave the GPS receiver? was it behind the unit or did you place it somewhere else in the car?


Thank YOu

For those who are interested i bought the bonroad unit with the new 3g. it was delivered in a fast 4 days.

I put mine in the location of the ML speaker - top of the dashboard. Its hidden and picks up sattelites great.

yes it is possible to do it because i did. nothing was wrong with my oem navi, i just wanted the flyaudio unit because of the dvd and usb features. although it is possible it will require some modding of 1 harness and adding an rca connector to the factory wiring to get the rear camera to work without running wires or replacing the factory cam. you probably will not find anyone on here other than me and one other person who has done the swap successfully, when i did mine i found some diagrams on here regarding the "adding navi to non navi vehicles" thread and its pretty much just reversing this process and buying a connector and retrofitting 1 harness. also there is a thread that i posted that shows what i did with pics. . i contacted the other member who had done this mod with never a response from him, and i had to figure it out by myself. so now im giving back so others with oem nav have an option if thier oem nav unit goes bad. if your not familiar with car audio and wiring, dont atempt this mod as you may cause some damage, always have a fellow CL member /buddy help you if he is experienced or take it to a car audio specialist.

Yeah i kinda figure that, however for a 520 vs 1300... i think it worth every penny.

Can you please provide a link with pricing? Thanks

I looked them up and only found an ES350 unit on their website.

I still haven't figured out how to really replace the vents though if you have an '08 or older IS250. The clips are different. Sounds like you have to jerry-rig it or something.

If anyone can provide details on how to actually replace the '06-'08 center vent with the newer style, I would appreciate it very much. I'm sitting on this unit because I haven't figure out exactly how to change those vents without having to modify something.
