Navi upgrade question
I just got a 7.1 disc and found out the hard way that is doesn't work with mine.
1. Does anyone know if changing the reader with a newer one will fix that and work? Is the reader the brain as well?
2. Has anyone ever upgraded their 03-04 Navi to an 05-06?
3. When did the menus get updated to look like the M menus 05 or 06?
I tried the search and got no useful results inlcuding a thread on a blown engine.....poor guy. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

So has anyone tried to upgrade the reader and/or the screen and any other parts of the dash electronics.
I saw these things on eBay making me wonder. I played w/ the Navi on an 06 at the NY auto show and liked the menu and speed of the new system. Not to mention that the re-route on the '04 is way too slow (supposedly fixed on the '05).

Reader/brain on eBay
Does anyone have a tire pressure option in the menus? I saw it in a brochure a while back and figured it was a misprint like the pic showing audio on the Nav screen.

The gas thing is cool, I'm surprised it's not there anymore, although I've rarely used it. How about the speed though. It takes forever to recalc. Not such an issue on wide open road, but we barely have wide open roads here in NY, so my nav usually gives me a new route option just as or after I've past it. I find that really frustrating.
I guess no one has done the swap.

I wouldn't call it horrible, far from it.

Wasn't it $2k for the premium pkg first, then another $2k for the navi? Too rich for my blood
The current Kenwood KNA-G510 navi (sourced from Garmin) has 2D and 3D views. I have some screenshots in the audio forums (search for ddx 6019) but I don't remember if I took a pic of the 3D view.

True, but I wanted the premium and a fully loaded car so it was only $2K for me.
I was looking into the the Kenwood setup but I can't seem to find 3d screenshots. I'm trying to find a DD that shows a full screen 3D image w/ good detail. Many out there seem to only offer a split screen 3D view with limited detail and viewing area. I also looked into the Alpine and Pioneer Z1 and can't seem to find that view.
The pics you posted only showed a 2D shot. Very nice setup though. I like that HU.
