when you have car the is either navi prep, or has busi navi or pro navi.. they all have the same navi wiring but they have differnet wiring than cars without navi thats why cars without navi prep cant retrofit navi because the cars wiring (electircal system) cant support navi... and if you have business navi you also have the navigation antena in the roof wired and ready as well as probably a few other navigation electonics ready to be used...

Ive just posted full Nav Pro retrofit instructions for cars with or without business navigation. Besides the items listed you will need some small wiring harnesses, a new LVDS cable, microphone wirining & microphone if your car isnt equipped and some new trims and screws.

My car had business nav before but no microphone prewired. I had to spend around ?140 at dealers for all the extra bits i needed besides your list.

I know I'm going to get killed for asking but WHY do people buy the business navigation, I just don't get it? What were you thinking at the time?

I didn't know that there is 2 type of navigation systems and there is a difference between them.
When I went to buy my car, my dealer didn't mentioned that and they gived my a car with buisiness navigation.

after reading the subjects in the forum, I read that to use TV you should have professional navigation system, and for that I'm looking to replace my buisiness one with a professional one.
