If it didn't come from the factory with navigation, that means it's not pre-wired for it. The wiring harness runs from the back all the way to the front, not an easy job, you basically have to remove the interior, on top of that it's very expensive. I think there's a link under the "How To" tab at the top of the page.

Which aftermarket unit do you have? The Dynavin aftermarket unit is considered head and shoulders above the Hualingan, if that's the one you have. Click on the link below if you want to take a look at the Dynavin.
