Where is the GPS receiver for the nav unit located?
Hello,
I've search for this information but I cannot find it (maybe I missed it though?). Does anyone know where the GPS receiver unit is for the stock navigation unit? The reason I ask is that I found what looks to be a "complete" nav center console + screen for an 05 Maxima:
http://cgi.ebay.ca/NISSAN-MAXIMA-200...spagenameZWDVW
I think I may remember reading that the actual receiver was near the glove box, so in that case this wouldn't help us to convert from non-nav to nav. However, if the receiver is in the center console area, then this might.
Thanks

its behind the security led in the centre of your dash. Right under the windshield in the middle, you have to pop the panel off with something to gain access to it.
Thanks,

Don't confuse GPS with a NAVI unit. The console listed is a stock setup, NOT NAVI, I copied and zoomed the picture in and the buttons below the screen do not have the NAVI control buttons (Map, Dest, etc) which means it's probably the same as what you have now. Also if it where a NAVI, there is an additional DVD drive that should come with it to load and store the Navigation DVD software. That drive would be located all the way at the bottom of the console behind the flip up access door. Good Luck

Thanks again.
Thanks again.
Actually your correct, with that said, why is he not displaying those buttons in his Ebay thread. Nor the DVD Nav drive, the key components for the NAVI system.
Just an example of what NAVI buttons look like for reference. Good Luck

Ok, I actaually called the guy... he said that everything is there (computer, GPS antenna, console, etc), and that it was a NAV unit since it came out of a Maxima not an Altima.
So, I think I'll pass... thanks.

There was a guy on the Org before trying to sell a console unit he stated was a NAVI that he got cheap. I believe his thread title in the 6th Gen section was "What's this worth". The finding was non-Navi with a monochrome screen. No one on the Org bought it. Funny theirs one up on Ebay now. Could be strictly a coincidence also, but HHmmmmmmm...

chernmax: is that a police scanner you have mounted above the navi? Is that your under cover ride?
