Not sure if you know but its worth a try since I can;t find a thread with the info. with my 03 430 It has an ML non nav. If I bought the nav head I could then buy an antenna and ecu and it would work fine? Was All nav automatically ML as well?
thanks man,
HMMMMM....i dunno man thats a thought but im not sure....would depend if they prewired the car for nav or not...so really depends on the harnessOriginally Posted by skperformance

Thanks for the info .
From the looks of it my harness is way less cluttered.
I will have to see if an old friend will make the harness for me to add as I know he used to do this stuff all the time .

Didn't see this post before...how is it you didn't know you couldn't remove the OEM? Or was there a specific feature you didn't know you could retain with an aftermarket unit?

i gladly would have but NOONE knew for 100% the 2001+ models could have but now its to late as i have already been way past this....
Excellent information. I have my eye on a few used Prius nav ECUs just so I can swap it and use the Coastal Tech "LockPick" device to always enable the override mode.
