OEM Nav Install

Does anyone know how to install a factory navigation into a '03 Coupe? I'm assuming a bunch of you guys have taken them out, or at least seen all the plugs in the back and had an idea of how to install it. Dealer is charging way too much and would rather try and do it myself. Thanks!!

I think only 1 person has succesfully done this, its not simple, and requires replacement of the entire interior wiring harness along with the install of the various nav components, much cheaper to just go aftermarket nav

As stated above you need to replace the main harness in the car. This is a very involved process, but can be done with enough time and patience.

I believe the guy reported that not all the functions worked properly after he was done (milage, maitenance, things like that) but that the Navi itself worked. You may need to swap out the cluster to get everything working right.

So you are all saying its basically not worth it? So if i were to install a DD kit, can someone give me a list breakdown of everything I need before I install it?

It is worth it, on the front end of the car purchase. I would much rather have an OEM installed navi with a few 'tweaks' for $2000 then an aftermarket system at a comprable price.
