Quit now while you're ahead. You're going to spend more time and pain to put a navigation system that was out of date a decade ago into your car than any sane person should. Honestly, you could pay me $300 and give me all the parts to the system and I wouldn't put it in my car.

You do realize what the harness you're looking for looks like, right? And it's cost from the dealer? Yeah, good luck:


There's a reason why it's only been done by like two or three people, ever.

He's got a point.

BUT if you're savvy enough, you could try what the OP did at your own risk:

Good luck with whatever route you choose. Wrathernaut's advice is much more practical.

I have a factory navi with my 04 coupe.. love that Damn thing cuz it helps me out tremendously especially in different cities and tryin to find the freeway LOL.

Anyways, my fuel gauge acts up so I'm trying to change clusters.. an 04 cluster swap will do but can't seem find any DIY to connect the three pins since ill have to use another cluster without navi. If any one knows how I can connect a non navi cluster to my OEM navi I will, greatly appreciate your help!!
