Installing stock navigation in coupe not equipped with it

Has anybody successfully installed the stock navigation system in a 03-04 coupe that wasn't equipped with it initially? I was looking to buy the entire stereo nav system but i wasn't sure if anything else was required for it to work properly. I know the dvd player is needed as well but is there anything else? Are the harness plugs the same?

I don't really want to do aftermarket... i like the stock look of the car.. i plan on doing all kinds of performance mods, but as far as looks, i want it to look stock and clean.

I believe ONE person has actually gone through with this install.

You want it to look stock & clean? Put a JDM kit in.
Do you want to blow a ****ton of money and time to install on an outdated, slow navigation system?

You're going to have to tear your dash out, install antennas, wiring... just don't do it.

Installing a complete stock navi system for the screen is like getting married for sex.

But, if you can find the screen separately, or even just the housing, you can mount a 7" lcd in there to display whatever you want.
