You have to make sure the plugs are connected in the correct order. I believe there are two plugs that look the same. Try to connect the one of them, if it doesn't work try the other one. Post a picture so we can have a better idea why the screen is not working.

I don't think it was the plugs that were wrong because, once i just took the power button from the navi and plug it to my oem, it worked like everything worked. I took it to a buddies place to install it that works at infiniti, and had it installed, didnt wanan messed with any stuff so i dont have any pictures. I'm just disappointed lol expecting it to work out fine for me but it didnt,

There are 2 or 3 different suppliers, you can try another one to see if you get a different price. On a few pages back, there are links. At first the price range is ~$500 shipped, then it changed to $600 (I got it at around this price). I think a lot of people ordering it so they increase the price. I figure if you stop ordering for a while it would drop

I guess you can determine if it's worth it or not. I was thinking of getting a iPod/USB and bluetooth kit (Grom audio $200) and use my phone as navigation, but thought the cost is close enough, not sure I would do it if it's 4x more (I would if everything on the nav unit is working as it should and don't lose the clock and airbag indicator).

Well, if you're sure you did everything right, then the unit is bad. Without pictures no one can tell if you or your friend did something wrong or not. You could try to exchange the unit.

In the picture above, mines was the same exact, but I also had my radio (I believe it's for the radio box ) connected. Also, there was a bundle with 2 connectors on it, I only connected one end to navigation and the brake wire i ground it and the other connector was just hanging just like the photo, and To exchange the unit, their making me pay shipping for both, and said that they have to speak with their engineer about this, also they said it was tested before shipped out.

If you connect it same as the other poster with the picture, I'm pretty sure he connected it wrong. He didn't use the Y-splitter cable correctly. The connector from the car need to connect to the splitter cable, then the splitter cable connects to the 2 slots in the nav unit.

I'm checking it out tomorrow, but the Y connector is what they provided which was the one with 2 connectors and about 2 strings which is the brake and one more other kind correct ?

If you're new, you should read all 50 pages just to get a sense of the issues out there and what you need to do. There is no guide as it's pretty easy to install, you just need to remove the stereo and everything else you just plug in (at the last post I post some links, you only need to remove the stereo):

I'm in Scottsdale. You can PM me your location, but depending on what you want help on, the whole install itself is very time consuming though it's not that difficult.

Edit: I attached the picture on how I think I remember it connected as. The connections that needs to be made is in red for those plugs. Hopefully someone would take a picture of the correct connection and post it here.

I've read all 50 pages and up to this one and i also read the one that you have to change the harness or so to right? When i did the install the only thing happen was the hazard light just kept blinking only. Did i plug in the wrong one or so? I did see that there are two that look alike.
