Retrofitting Nav unit
Has anyone retrofitted the GM Nav unit into non-Nav cars? Was it a DIY or did the dealer perform the work? Are the electrical hook-up's there and waiting? Does the unit play DVD's also?

The answer is that it cannot be done. Do a search on this topic and you will find this to be the answer given by one of the forum dealers. You will have to go aftermarket.

Ha, my car NEVER wants to go to work either! Getting lost is half the fun. There's always OnStar. Thanks for the input. I've talked to a couple of high end dealers and they're telling me to wait until April and most of the manufacturers will have their new stuff out. Clairon will have a 7" screen (6.5 for everyone else), DVD, CD, Xm or Serris, ipod and bluetooth compatable, with or without the nav feature. W/o the nav, the price will be in the $1100 range. Pioneer, Alpine both have comparable units coming in the Spring, also. Thanks, again.
