OEM Factory NAV

Paladinjc

I would love to install the Factory NAV in my Nismo. I have gone to a couple of local Car Stereo stores and they are all telling me this not possible. Something about Nissan doesn't install all of the wiring under the dash if the NAV doesn't come from the factory.

Anyone have experience on this, has anyone else gotten the same info or had the NAV installed?

When I got my 40th, I talked with the dealer for a whole week trying to figure out how to put the factory nav in my car, but in the end, the dealer quoted me at around 9k to get it put in.
Supposedly, they need a new dash ordered, harness, and then the nav unit itself.

I decided to just go aftermarket and spent 1k.

yeah that is what they told me. It make's no sense that they wouldn't offer the Factory NAV in their high end Car.

i have the factory nav. Its nice. but not that great. The aftermarket nav's all seem better. only better thing about the factory nav is how it flows with the car's interior.

Paladinjc

I agree it flows better, also I am trying to keep the look of the Car as OEM as possible. Only Modes I want to do are performance.

Break out your wallet if you want factory nav... many have asked the same question and the same price keeps popping up... TOO MUCH!

The reason the factory nav costs so much is like one poster mentioned (new harnesses, nav unit, center dash and etc...) what you dont know is that through the factory nav I can control most features on the car such as auto diming, speed volume, door locks, wiper sensors and a whole slew of other things. This is why its sooo expensive!

Best bet get an aftermarket unit add an extra screen with a car computer and be done... maybe add a ps3 with wifi or something

or buy a Canadian Car. I have been told that the Nismo and 40th Anniversary editions come with Nav in Canada. I am not 100% but check it out.

I know installing factory Nav on a non Factory nav car would be a Pain. Harnesses are different but Dash should not be an issue.

40th yes, but we cannot buy the Nismo in Canada. Full of win right there

So, is it not possible to buy a Canadian 370Z and import it to the USA? Would it be that difficult? Its a new car so it should pass emission test and what not.

Somebody tell me what I'm missing.

I already own my Nismo.

$9k, is to much, I will look into Pioneer AVIC-Z120BT.

Milenko2121

I went with the Z110BT (z120bt wasn't out yet), and I think it was a much better choice.

I think the factory nav screen would've annoyed me during normal driving; while my pioneer is only there when I need it, and out of view while looking at the road.

Did you replace your speakers and add an amp 'if so what make/models'? When it comes to my baby I always go 'top of the line' so wondering what else you went with on your audio system?

I replaced my entire blose system with all JL Audio.

Fronts - ZR650-CSi (these things are so clear, it's amazing)
Rears - C2-650 (they do a great job with the fill)
Sub - 12W1v2 (Gonna be upgrading to dual 12W1's, maybe 12W3's later)
Amp - XD600/6 (it runs everything just fine, but once I get the second 12W1, i'm going to get another amp for the subs)
