I have an AVIC I could use I just wanted to retain the factory equipment. If not, I have everything necessary to replicate our OE system.

wait, what? You would not have bought a car with nav and bought an aftermarket unit? Or I should say, you would have taken out the stock nav and replaced with an aftermarket nav?

Why? Pain in the *** with the stock unit? Crappy resolution? I'm Ron Burgundy?
