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.

King and JPuma have both done this retrofit

:goodluck:

are they located in seattle?

No, far from. Arvi is in Toronto and JPuma is in New York.

I have tried contacting each of them with no results.

i have just install my x5 2001 nav retrofit but not working properly yet i need some assistance in wiring the on-board computer on my instruction to connect the wire to the instrument cluster the wire colour is different and i only have one wire goes to the cluster
on the wire harness i only have A5 i do not have A6 and the connection on the cluster there is a black connector and there is a white connector pin 1 on the black connector is brown/black wire and the white connector pin 1 is yellow red and the instruction direct to connect A 5 brown/red to pin 1 brown/red DFHL and A6 (which i Don't have) to pin 3 pin 1 on the black connector is brown/black and pin 1 on the white connector pin 1 is yellow/white
On the monitor do not display the time/date and does not read the on-board computer and does not respond to any seting
any one have any idea
thank you

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 :-)

how can you tell there is text and graphic on the cluster

there is text and graphic on the instrument cluster

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.
