This is due to the subsystems that need to be added like the GPS antenna, ECU inputs into the NAV system, and a few more. Also all eBay sales of the factory nav system that I have seen do not include the GPS antenna. The GPS antenna is not the antenna that is on the roof, it is actually in the dash above the HVAC fan/ glove box. Depending on what which system are starting with you might need a new steering wheel so you can have useable steering wheel controls.

Yep nailed that one, not to mention the sound quality is awful from the bose.

IKR. I can understand wanting a clean factory look but there are so many better options out there. I have been tolerating the NAV system and Bose speakers for too long. I can't wait to delete my factory NAV system and Bose speakers this summer.

Nav build

That "Tesla" layout on your build looks sick! So, you had Nav/Bose and were able to successfully replace it?
