Default Adding Navigation?

Is it possible to purchase the parts for the US navigation system and install it yourself.

The price wouldn't be worth it. Look into an aftermarket unit.

agreed, would be cheaper to do Nav+ if you really want an OEM look....

I just picked a 2620 up. Satellite reception seems somewhat spotty. Not to mention my location on the map seemd to jump around a lot. I have MUCH better luck with my Toyota built-in NAV system.

Default Entirely possible. But somewhat cost prohibitive to most.

Probably $2500 or so along with several hours worth of work. To some it is worth it to have the authentic nav+ system made for our car.

Default You didn't see the "Sale Price Too Low to Show!"

It actually comes out to 50 cents cheaper when shipped. I was just joshin' with ya. Identical unit, almost same price. ;-)
