DVD upgrade help

Um. Anyone done the NAVI dvd install themselves? Looks like I have to tear off the console?

I purchased a used DVD from a dealer and the unit would not recognize it. It was the correct version for my 2002. I was able to return it but it cost me shipping.

Dang it

I finally figured out after owning the car for just a few months thats where the amp is. And now your saying the Navi disc is there too?

Any photos or a visual of some sort?

the navi disc player sits on top of the amp on right side in the trunk.
Make sure you slide the door closed after you put the dvd in or you will get a "does not recognize disk" error.
I just upgraded from 2002 to 2011 maps and it worked perfectly, once i slide the door closed.

Okay.

I will go try to look. If theres a sliding door then it shouldnt be to hard to find. If someone can post a photo..

Id like to know where you got your upgrade and how much you ended up paying for it.

On the front of the Nav DVD hump in the trunk is a plastic name plate that says GPS Voice Navigation. It is held on with Velcro on one side. Pull it off and you will see a slider which reveals the eject button. Slide to open and press the button, you will have your Disc. Follow the instructions that come with your new disc and you should be set.
