Can a non-nav be upgrade to oem nav?

Hi,

My car came with non-bose, non-climate oem cd changer. Is it possible to fit the oem nav/bose/cd changer unit in? Saw this on ebay...

Thanks...

Yes, but it takes alot of work and hassle.... better off to buy a DD and replace your stock radio!

It is totally possible. I did it a few months back and it only cost me around 800. I also sold some of the parts that I replaced and made back a few hundred so on average it cost about 600. There are 4 parts youll need. You need the Screen, the controls, the antenna and the DVD player. The CD player is the same for bose system or not. If you can get the Harness, get it because the car is not wired for GPS. If you dont have the harness, make sure the parts you buy have the pigtails for a clean setup. It took me about 3 hours to put the harness together and about 5 hours to install.
