PLEasE HELLLLPPPP!!!!!Im looking to change my stereo to a Double DiN this weekend so I'd really appreciate yall's help!!

is it possible to replace the factory stereo w a double DiN (thinkin either the Avic X920BT or the Z120BT...not sure yet) AND KEEP
the factory NAV???

If so, is there a way to use both screens to view videos, games, etc???
THanx a lot for ur help

 

there is a sticky at the top of the forum for the "shopping list".

You can upgrade to the DD. I believe the NAV runs on a unit.

 

thanks spoolin. im really new to all this...my 1st forum ever lol
yeah i found my answers on wrather's shopping
list thread (thanks wrather ur the best)

 

No problem, and good luck with the install.

 

yes its possible. i installed a pioneer avh-p4100dvd and i have the factory nav, only issue is that i no longer have voice guidance

 

^
thanks hye. i heard theres something u can do to get voice guidance
on the front 2 speakers or somethin like that...i read it a couple of days ago
here on one of the audio threads

 

You have to hack the + and - audio output from the factory nav brain. Then feed it as an aux in to the radio. The sound quality is diminished and no radio will not switch to the aux input automatically when a command is given out of the nav. Get a double din radio with nav if you would like voice prompts and then use the top screen as a info source center using something like the greddy e-manage?? system.

 

I have a complete wiring diagram for using a relay to auto-switch to voice in my shopping/resource guide.

Sound quality doesn't diminish, it will switch to the voice automatically. It only requires that you have an amp powering the speakers.

 

Nice!! thanx guys....wrather ur just full of answers
a g35 encyclopedia!!!! awesome. appreciate the heads up guys thanx

 

Perhaps a retainer for the accumulated knowledge of this forum is more accurate.

Well, that and some minor electrical engineering knowledge to put together diagrams to help out.
