Will this work on a G35x that has no options other than sunroof?
In other words, does this external GPS solution require the G35 Premium or Technology Package?
I'm not experienced with car audio,
so I'm going to have to find a Philadelphia area installer to do the work.
Also, is there a way to update the data (maps) on this system?
How long will Garmin support this unit with updates? (maps and firmware)
Thanks again for posting this information.

I have had my Garmin c330 for 3 years and they still send me updates via my computer. You then upload the updates from your computer to your Garmin. real easy, just register it online when you get it so they can send you the updates.

But, I wonder how you update the "black box" style Garmin and if Garmin offers the same updates for them?
Also, can you do the same upgrade that the OP has done with a base G35x without the premium package?

Here is a question to everyone:
Can we input mutliple soucres through the same RCA inputs in the G35console?
In other words,
can we run both the audio from an i-pod AND the audio from the NAV at the SAME time?
If not,
is there a way to set up a selectable "switch" to toggle between inputs so we don't have to unplug and re-plug everytime you have to change inputs?
Thanks.

If you do have nav and you just plug in an ipod or something, the nav will send the radio mute signal to the radio and override the music, so that you get the nav directions on top of whatever input you have on.
But if you don't have nav, it would be funky to try to do this. It's doable, but it would require some engineering.

However, if you want the radio or cd, you will not be able to simulateously listen to the radio or a cd while viewing the map as the radio function and cd function switches the video and audio sources for the sound system.

could've sworn I posted here yesterday unless a mod deleted my post... but i'll just post the difference in 08 from 07 without telling people what they are or what they do or what to do...
several 08 wires for AV is different colored from the 07
106 was violet in 07 (according to 07 service manual) is now light blue in 08
107 was red and now grey
there are more wires in the AV that's not listed in the 07 service manual (I'm assuming it's for the ipod integration?)
thanks to on_6mt and newmexicog for their threads/help/info
