If you wanted a full rebuild with like a video game joypad, I have tools to disassemble one, but no parts to put much together. If there's no rush, I'll be back with my tools in about 4-5 months and can do it proper, otherwise you'd have to include soldering equipment, multimeter, hot melt glue, metal files and a drill, at the very least.

But if you sent one out, I would be able to get a better look at it and see what's feasible in terms of final assembly.

Besides watching this board and playing video games, I ain't got much else to do in my free time out here, so no compensation would be necessary, the change of pace would be nice.

 

Dude Just Listen! I was going this exact route as well. But didn't realize it was a waste of time and money. You better off getting a garmin or use your smart phone. I use my iphone 4.

 

no rush brosif...

but my time is limited, as I'm busy at work and a new baby on the way. if you want, you can search for the parts you need (say on e-bay for example), and PM me the link. I'll buy them and them out to you (provided that they don't cost a lot).

 

the pop up navi works fine for me. Yes it's a bltch to enter the address but it's not like I use the navi every day.

It's good for what I use it for and it's pretty pimp the way it pop up. It also provides MPG info and other stuff. Maintenance reminders and so on.

A touch screen would be nice though. The joystick interface is crap.
