went to install gw500 following all the diy's on here i have a 04 nav no cdc,pulled glove box and there is no prewiring for the cdc?now what? everything i have read is saying i have to buy a cdc and install it get the car programed for cdc and mp3 then install the gateway.? is that correct because when buying this from fantastic5 and reading from other members a non cdc nav no nav car would work fine with install... any help would be great, ive read so many posts on them and no one is giving a straight answer..

First of all, check your VIN and see if you do have the CD changer Prep from the factory. Second, if you confirm that you do\should have the CD changer prep, from what I understand the fiber optic plugs won't be there. It's bundled up somewhere and you have to unwrap it and then plug the ends into the plug.
