Default dvd nav into a 2000?

Is there anyway if I bought an 01 Nav HU and the DVD drive in the trunk, would I be able to convert my HD Navi to the DVD version???


I searched and couldn't find anything

is there anything more involved to this swap??

Thanks

I take it seeing mine in person made you wanna upgrade? Bigger screen? Was it the comment I made? Let me know if you are gonna do it... definetly interested in seeing it done. I think it should be able to be done and easily too (speed sensor and other equipment should be the same).

I was just asking about the same thing in another thread, is it possible to use the existing screen in the 98-00 models? and just plug in the DVD unit?

i don't think it's going to be easy, i heard they have different harness. plus most of the 01+ nav (unless it's 2001) they have ML together with it, now we are talking about a full upgrade

What i plan to do....And hopefully it will work...Is get the AVElectronic unit, and than just hook up PS 2 to it....Use the ps2 as a dvd player....Se***s more inexpensive to do...Hopefully it all works out...
