Re: DVD Navigation

You can. Some people have. The only downside is now you have an extra piece of equipment taking up space in your car. Some people think that's fine, others would prefer to find a solution to use the stock Nav DVD player, if possible.

Re: DVD Navigation

I haven't even taken the stock DVD unit out. What kind of adapters does it use? Can we just buy a aftermarket navi or DVD player and put it in place of the stock navi unit? A plug and play type of deal?

Re: DVD Navigation

No one's tried taking the stock DVD player out. I wouldn't recommend it. You'd lose all the builtin Nav's functionality, and those Nav buttons on your center console would become useless. If you want to go that route, you'd be better off starting with a G35 w/o Nav, or you've just wasted $2k.

Re: DVD Navigation

maybe the wiring harness can be configured to make the buttons work with the new unit. That's if it uses the same connection. No matter what I don't see that 2k as a waste, I'll just think of it as a 2g wiring job w/ a smooth fitting hide away LCD wide screen [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img].
