I have a local guy who's selling me his 2004 oem navi for $300 is this a good deal or what?
The only thing is it doesn't come with any wiring harness or anything.... so I guess my question is, is it even worth it? I just dont want to burn the $300 if its not gonna work.
thanks for the input

here are the pics

 

i think thats a good price for all of that. but the wiring harness sell for about 1k. but you maybe be able get one cheaper, idk.

 

mine is for sale ill sell the whole thing for 1000 without the disc

 

it's going to work....if you spend the hours required to install it. The harness is very difficult to install. You will need to dis-assemble the entire dash to put it in.

 

thanks for the input guys, yea i'm still debating whether i should get it or not, creative design have you taken out your system yet?

 

if you do it yourself this is in your future.

LOL ya i know, i decided to do other mods when i saw how much time would be it, plus this is my only car and i cant have too much down time.

good luck.

 

yea goodluck to the seller lolz, after i seeing that pic i was like fawk that!! the wiring harness looks expensive then I might as well get aftermarket ones.
thanks again for that link and opening my eyes.

 

For the same price or a lot less, get yourself a laptop or car computer to install in the trunk. Then control it with a Xenarc or Liliput touch screen in the center storage area. IGuidance is great nav software for just over $100 bucks, and depending on the size of the hard drive, you can have your whole music collection in the computer as well.

I only had to remove the center console to install the screen, Run wires to the trunk, power, usb,serial,etc, and mount the computer.

MP3car.com is a great place to start, and here is a link to the screen I used.

Any pics of the install?

 

i was told that the cars that came with navigation use a diffrent gauge cluster as well .
altho in that write up there is no mention of a gauge cluster swap.

 

I think you should buy it man....seriously I would if it fit my unit!!!

 

Here you go. This is the touchscreen in the car. The screen has several soft buttons that take you to Nav or Music Browser or Utilities etc.
