Is this all I need to retrofit Nav?

Do I need anything else? Is this a good price? Or would I be better off just going to get it from the dealership?

In looking at the parts list of what they are supplying, that looks like just about everything you should need.

Price it out at the dealer (if they can even find many of those parts) or post a request to Vaheh at Crevier and see which is cheaper.

Be sure to read http://www.xoutpost.com/articles.php?...ticle&artid=58 so that you know what you are getting yourself into.

It looks like a lot of work that I don't have the skills to do. Does anyone know how much it would cost to have the dealership do it?

I doubt if any dealerships would touch it. You may find an aftermarket shop that would attempt it though.

I found this today, it's a lot cheaper but I don't know if it would work.

That's not a bad deal for those components. You'll still need to assemble the other components you'll need to do the retrofit, such as the wiring harness and all of the mounting brackets.

And the amount of work to do this remains the same

Yeah,
I would rather have someone who knows what they are doing install this in my car. I think the second auction is a good deal for what I'm getting. I'm sure everything else I need is just little things. But I would not know what else I need if I got this one.

Hopefully you jumped on this and snagged a set before the seller canceled the auction.

He told me that I have pre wires for this already in my car. I highly doubt that.

I can assure you that your car is NOT pre-wired for navigation. The second link is not a bad deal. Having done the complete NAV retrofit myself, I will be glad to help you with any parts/install questions you may have.
