Hi yes I was able to swap the units but due to there only being a limited amount of my Z's made, I'm not selling the original equipment. Thanks

Here's a question for you guys.....
If i have all the nav components ie harness, screen unit, key pad, radio unit etc.... Could this be installed on a base.model?

I'm not sure that anyone has tried, but if you have everything including harness i dont see why it wouldn't work, you may need ECU also? just a guess

Ecu? I have no idea about that....

I can't see the Ecu being different because of the nav?

Going from non-nav to nav is not impossible but it is very impractical and going to cost a lot of money. The cars complete stereo wiring harness needs to be swapped out. I'm not talking about one or two connectors in the dash I mean the whole wiring harness that runs through out the whole car. 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 which system are starting with you might need a new steering wheel too 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.
