Interesting, I thought I would have lost my nav completely. Are you sure I wouldn't have?
Not adding navigation, but your stock navigation will work (voice excluded).

Can I use the factory navigation system with a double-din unit?
YES.
Are you sure? My installer says I can't have the navigation and a double din unit.Your installer is wrong. You will lose the nav voice without taking extraordinary measures, but the nav works just fine with factory nav installed, however, If you plan to keep your factory navigation system, you need to do the JDM route
Here's proof - both 03-04 and 05-07:
The metra needs a little trimming to fit snugly, but works well if you do it right.

Good to know and when it fails next time this is the way I will go. I hired professionals to do mine and even they can screw up. The guy that took out the radio crammed the temperature sensor wire up behind the radio compartment and it was never reconnected til last night when I found the problem myself after reading on here about "heat instead of cold coming from ac". Weirdest thing feeling heat out of driver's side vents and cold out of passenger's. Again thanks for the input.
Doing the brake flush, drive belts and compression rods this weekend.
