The 'Retrofit Navigation' Thread

[mitchy_bobby]

yes the dealer had a harness basically the same as the tutorial, it had most wires come from the OP connector and some from behind the stereo. at one point i had the instruction sheet for the dealer installed satnav in pdf, found it online somewhere.

Thanks heaps mitchy

Just retro fitted my Sat nav unit from Tristan into my car.

A HUGE thanks to mitchy_bobby for supplying my harness and providing some helpful install tips

I bit the bullet and ordered mine. Will arrive today. Hopefully the complete harness is there. Fingers crossed.

Got any install/ after pics Hamish?

Holy sh1t...



They were right. It is plug and play to an extent as I've got the entire dash wiring loom... but jeebus. Wasn't expecting this. I think I'm well and truly outta my depth.

I guess my two options are: return it, or hope that Mitchy (or someone else) will want make some $ and help a brother out? (I've got the Kenwood radio though).

I can provide you with the 16-pin and the 20-pin plugs ready to be crimped with pins

I have two sets and I can help you with your install also

how much r u offering for this??

[hamish_023]

Honestly it's actually not hard to install. I was done in about 2 hours, 1/3 of this time was playing around to make sure it was working, the other 1/3 was taking off the console and glove box to get to it all.

How did you manage to get your hands on these? They would come in handy as i will have a complete spare set minus these two plugs

It's a long story and I have two sets ready for anyone who want it. and I'm looking for a 2007 Navigation monitor if you could help me please.

Man I wish I came across this earlier! Took mine in for install but the audio cable was not there apparently. I've left my car at the shops as I had a work trip.
They're going to try and call their suppliers tmrw to see what they can do.

[hamish_023]

Here's what you need:



These two cables need to be cut out of the donors car so Mitch can make up a new harness





Then it's a matter of plug and play (As well as a bit of dash removal)



All done and working

[SH30RB]

Looks great Hamish!

I cant wait to get mine in

[psy]

Bit OT Hamish, but don't you like the cold? 29c outside, and your AC is on 24.5c

Looks good though. Looking forward to getting mine in once I (work out how to dismantle the glovebox and) get the necessary cabling.

EDIT: for the purposes of keeping "retrofit" sat nav stuff together - what screws are everyone using for the install?

[psy]

If you've got small girly hands like me, you should only need to remove the lower plastic cover on the dash above the pedals to get to the Options port.
