Your dealer can do a VO change by doing Retrofitting of the NAV option via their equipment. Would you be in my area I would code your vehicle easily, but I am far. It is 10 minutes job to do if everything is installed properly.

You may use your navigation without a fan but only for the very short period of time, because technically it may overheat and get some internal components may get damaged. The best would be to make a simple fan cable and connect it before use of the nav.

hahaha . . dont tempt me I may just drive up to where ever you are. ROAD TRIP!! I do have sound and I seem to be able to do all my functions surprisingly. There seems to be a slight delay when i switch between between modes and screens. but all the old stuff works. And i even have some new options like bluetooth but of course thats not installed so it wont work. You may be right about the VO of where the nav came from. But the system map is stuck in Oakland. there is no place that i can see to reset the nav or tell it that it is in virginia. its kinda funny as it is showing me driving thru streets that arent really there. Maybe I should spend some time trying to figure out how to reset the NAV? Thanks for the info on doing the coding. I will mention it to the dealer in the morning.
