Searching the forums will tell you everything you need to know.

Short version: it’s either impossible or not at all worth the time.

Bananas did it also but the ? nowadays is why would you? easier/cheaper to buy an aftermarket head unit with nav and go that route not to mention even the 2005 model is 13 years out of date and the discs are stupid expensive
