2009 Factory Nav install questions
I have been getting conflicting stories and could use some help. I am looking at installing a factory nav unit in an 09 convertible with Bose and On Star. I would like to know if I need a nav unit from a 2009 car or will others work. I have searched for this and have found a few different stories and none that address my issue exactly. Any and all help would be much appreciated.
Thanks

However it works out, you'll definitely need to go to a dealer (or someone with a tech2) to get the new hu married to the car.
I know that others have installed Nav units from other years and they've worked just fine. If it were me, if you can't get an '09, I think I'd try to find a radio that was newer than the car.

Has anyone tried to put a 2010 nav in a 2009?
