did the guy plug everything back in tight and didn't miss / mix any connectors? sounds to me that's what happened.

i have removed a lot of kits before and never a problem

this is what you need and will allow you to use the nav when driving

I am interested in doing the nav mod on my GS F sport. Anyone have a pictorial on the install or can post or pm me the instructions from PS instructions they send with the unit?

Want to know if this is an easy mod i can do.

Thanks!

I don't remember where it is, but they send you step by step instructions when you order the unit.

Basically, you remove the radio trip by pulling
Remove 2 bolts, pull the radio unit out.
Remove the plugs from the back
Plug in two plugs from the PS module (the new version is only 2 simple plugs)
Re-insert all plugs
Put the radio back in
Re-insert bolts
Put the trim piece back in.


If I can find the instructions I will scan them in and post them.

You have to pull pretty hard on the lower right corner, a trim removing tool helps.

It is all held by clips.

Thank you huskernks! Sounds really simple, hopefully you locate those instructions and post them it might encourage more people to buy the PS module and DIY.
