Navigation screen replacement
Has anyone ever thought of, or tried replacing the SC430 navi screen with a tablet like apple, windows or android?
I just replaced my ML stereo with a Kenwood navi unit that does everything. As a result, I don't need the original navi, so I'm using it as a monitor for movies and a dashcam I put it. All thanks to a $400 miracle wiring harness.
Now I'm thinking I'd like to replace the original screen because of the bad resolution.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

I tried it, did not work for me with a single din pioneer navi. Thinking about a mini ipad there with wifi, turn my iphone to a hotspot and get the latest google map that way among other things.
But it's not as important to me right now...
good luck with your endeavors. I'd love to hear what you could do to yours.

I’m currently in the process of installing a Galaxy Tab 3 in lieu of the original Nav screen… I too went with a double Din unit with nav a few years ago.
I plan to use it as a digital dashboard (torque App) via a Bluetooth OBD2 adaptor.

Is it difficult removing the OEM navigation screen from the hoeing. All I want to do is put in a modern LCD screen to be used for a rear view camera only. I just want to know if I can get the original screen out an put in a new LCD screen. I had been given the impression that it is almost impossible removing the screen and putting in a new one. Please let me know because that is the only thing holding me up from doing my audio upgrade

I installed a cheap 7" GPS that never work well... So now I'm installing a Galaxy Tab 3.
BTW, I use my head unit screen for BU camera.

Removing and replacing the screen is not difficult... Keeping the "deploy / retract" function is a different story. I ended up removing everything. By using several switches and relays, I was able to make the screen come out and in... Still not sure how I did it but it works!

So I take it that a 7" screen is the size that will fit in that slot

Easiest way is to simply remove the board that has the wire connectors from the factory radio. I did mine and wrapped it in a freezer bag to keep it from shorting out to ground. It is tucked under my aftermarket Alpine radio. The open, close and tilt functions still work. No need for extra switches or relays....PM you you need better directions.

So the open/close/ tilt function for Nav door is inside the radio?
I’ve removed the entire factory system, and replaced the factory Nav with a 7”HD headrest monitor, but I can’t seem to figure out how to get the Nav door to open/close/tilt
