Well, my curiosity peeked and I sent my current design files to China for a generic assembly quote. It looks like I can make available fully assembled boards for $100 - $120 each if I order at least 10 (maybe even less than that) and they could be even cheaper if at higher quantities. I haven't gotten the final quote yet, but the current costs are very reasonable. None of the $500 tooling and $250 setup fees that all the US places I worked with through work charge. I need to polish up my design files and parts list to get a precise quote, but I am very surprised at how cost effective this could actually be. I realize that almost all the parts are small surface mount and it would be difficult for most to assemble this as a DIY.

I also briefly looked into the AV connectors on 2012 and 2016 models with Navi and they are in fact different from the 2009 - of course....

BUT - it looks like all the signals the eZ Navi Delete board needs is still grouped together on the connector used in the newer models. So I am thinking that a simple adapter harness could be made that adapts the 2010+ wiring harness to the 2009 connector so that the board is compatible with any model year.

Anyway, Is there enough interest in an assembled plug n-play solution to Navi Delete to warrant a lot build? Perhaps I should start a new thread to gauge this with some kind of comparison.
