Default Can I downgrade to non-nav

My nav went out and I already tried the fix and nothing. I'm not gna spend 2k on a new one so…
Can I downgrade my console to non nav? I know the center piece fits but I'm concerned about the plugs in the back.

Exact what "fix" do you try? Bummer that the repair didn't work out for you.

Why not just watch eBay for a good price on a used one?

Not sure how pertinent this is to you, but one consideration would be how this would affect resale. I know as a potential buyer, I would never buy a car that originally had nav, the nav failed, and the owner made some DIY downgrade or something like that. Of course if resale isn't a concern to you, disregard.

If the ribbon fix didn't work, then your other options would by FlyAudio or a used one either from eBay or a junkyard.
