Default Factory Nav Install

Hey Guys,

There is a guy on ebay selling the factory nav units with head unit, wiring harness' and nav computer, etc.

He claims that he has mod'd the wiring harness to make this a 3 hour install.

Anyone on this board deal with this guy ? There are several posts indicating that people who have bought this made it work pretty easily.

Thanks

I still think buying one of the new portable navi units, such gamin nuvi, is a far superior option than retorfitting an old system.

Pros:
price, flexibility, portability, newer technology, ease of upgrade, real time driving conditions (service fee), installation head aches, wireless, and the fear of unknow ;^)

Cons:
Integration and may be appearance.

Points well taken, but its not actually the NAV I care most about (should have noted that). With the NAV screen, I can put an adapter plus DVD player in to use it as a DVD player for my daughters. I will be adding head rest screens in the back, but I really like the idea of the factory look.
