have done a search and don't see anyone talking about this. Can you add factory nav to a car born without? is the wire harness the same? I have an '06 with the chrono package so my tach and speedo are above steering wheel. I have seen a couple factory nav screens for sale at junkyards and on ebay but I'm not sure that it can be put in.
anyone have info on this.
thanks

 

Someone on MINI2 has done it a couple of times: http://www.mini2.com/forum/first-gen...m-sat-nav.html

 

It has been done, but it was not cheap. In fact I think that he payed almost twice the cost of getting it done at the factory and that was still doing it himself.

 

Get a Garmin 765t and a mounting kit from Craven. I mounted mine similar to this: http://www.cravenspeed.com/published...0051-3-lrg.jpg but closer to the tach. That way I don't have to take my eyes very far off the road. And the screen is just barely above the wheel rim.

And buy the GPS from Amazon. Best prices and liberal return policy.
