Seattle: Virgin Nav Retrofit

I am located in Seattle and I am attempting to do a navigation retrofit. I have gathered all the parts and I am ready to do the install. However, I am not completely confident that I can rip apart my dash and get everything in working order. I am looking for someone who has either done this retrofit before or who has previous stereo install experience. If ANYONE can help me out in any way please do not hesitate to contact me. I will compensate for your time.

Notes: I have a 2003 4.4 x5 with onboard computer and factory cd player. No navigation currently.

Do you have the HIGH or the LOW cluster?
HIGH has the plain text check control display. LOW doesn't.

PS: adding punctuation to your post will remove the ambiguities and make me able to understand what you are asking :-)

HIGH cluster shows text messages like FASTEN SEAT BELTS, LIGHTS ON, LOW OIL PRESSURE, TIME XX:XX, CONS1 34MPG etc etc

LOW cluster doesn't show the text messages

A prerequisitie for fitting the nav is that you have the HIGH instrument cluster

If you have LOW, then you need to change the cluster from LOW to HIGH.
Only the HIGH cluster sends out the necessary data messages required by the nav for the nav system to work properly.
