so I have been debating about this for a while but I have decided that I do want to research and find the best option to replace my factory navigation unit.
I am wondering what the options are for this I know this has been talked about before and most people have decided its just too much trouble sometimes to replace the OEM navigations because of all the integrated options built into the system.
Are there any aftermarket kits that are going to allow me to keep the on-screen controls for the HVAC and ac and heating climate controls?
and the factory speaker and mice for the phone calls? One of the things having me look into this is because there are no more new updates for the factory navigation coming out for out gen ES in 07
There’s one person that did it if you search for it you’ll find it. He had a ton of trouble getting it to work, he retrofitted the base hvac controls and then installed a aftermarket radio. He had to read allot of electrical schematics for the base and the Navi model, he also did allot of soldering. Ran into a ton of issues but finally got it to work if I remember correctly. My advice would be use Waze on your phone and get a cellphone holder
