Upgrade to MP3, NAV
 
Hello everybody! What are my options to ugrade the factory cd to one that will play MP3s and or a NAV system. Is there a OEM kit of sorts, or has anyone done an aftermarket kit that is user friendly. Any help is really apreciated, my dealer isn't any help! I want more!!!!!

I have the same vehicle and would love to add an MP3 CD changer. I am considering the factory unit though. Does the head unit display ID3 tags of MP3 disks?

Looks like I got my answer off another thread... the radio head unit needs to be upgraded also to see ID3 tags. Grrrr.

To clarify, the Alpine changer is NOT a "direct" plug-in (Mechanically-wise, the Alpine unit is 100% compatible with the OEM unit, so you can use the OEM bracket). You will need an additional converter box from either Soundgate, Blitzsafe, or Intravee. The Intravee will allow you to see ID3 tags as well, although, at a cost of about $150 bucks more than the Soundgate or Blitzsafe solution.
