Really boarded here, and since I don't have the option to search old threads, I came up with this mind boggiling question. I am wondering if it's in anyway possible to take out a navigation unit from a 2002/2003 Maxima and put it into a 2000???

1. Is it possible
2. What would you need
3. How much would it cost
4. Has it been done

 

Come on people, someone must have tried it on the org... or at least read a thread on it

 

I read something about this awhile back... can't say for sure but it seems like folks were saying its easier & cheaper to buy aftermarket then retro fit a 2k2/2k3 navi.

 

Well it's possible but people go aftermarket because the stock is integrated system along with the stereo, and then you need to get all the wiring, antenna and who knows what else. and knowing nissan, they probably have a proprietary plug for every thing (bose deja vu).

i don't think anyone has had the chance to play with a wrecked 02 with navi yet and see what the deal with it is.

 

The dealer said that it is possible ,but it need a lot of works and it will cost $4000.
So this is not the mod that you want to do.If you ever get lost go to any gas station and ask for map.
I would say go with DVD player.

 

Well lets see. I found a Junk Yard in California that has a salvage 2002 Maxima with navigation. The price is about $1500. The junkyard guy told me that he will give me all the necessary parts I need. Besides the head unit, what else do I need, antenna, sensors, etc... Can someone with knowledge of this let me know what exactly I need. I am imagining there has to be some type of wiring involved, as well as other things.

Why do this? You can get a aftermarket unit like the Garmin Streetpilot 2620 with built hard drive which covers the entire United States. The 02/03 Navi is cd based and only covers limited regions per CD with additional CD's costing a couple hundred dollars. Not worth it at all.

 

I agree..you are better off going with an aftermarket unit. I just saw the new Pioneer DVD based Nav System with rollout touch screen for $2200..sweet unit. I would much rather pay the extra and have all of US and Canada on the one disk, plus a better quality unit that won't interfere with other parts of the car (I think the stock Nav is integrated with heating/cooling bhut not 100% sure about this). I have a Pioneer and I absolutely love it. Just my opinion

 

also the nav is also got integrated climate control..
