Sawpping out OEM Chrono for OEM Navigation?

Hey guys,
I got sorta quick question ....

I recently picked up a 2005 MCS fully loaded including Navigation - I love it. I now have a deal on 2006 JCW MCS fully loaded but it does not have Navigation, rather the chrono option. The deal on the 2006 JCW is almost too good to be true and I want to jump on it, but my only draw back is that it's not nav equipped. I then thought to myself, what happens if I take the nav from the 2005 MCS and swap it into the 2006 JCW and install the chrono in the 2005 .... basically do a swap?

Is it simple to do? Or am I out to lunch thinking I can handle it?
I would then sell the 2005 MCS as a chrono equipped vehicle .....

Anyone got any links to how to install / remove OEM nav / chrono kits?

Comments?

Well you've have to rip apart the interior to get the cable bundles for the DVD player under the passenger seat and GPS antenna. Of course, perhaps these are things that your MINI service center can order for you? Try and track down a service manual.

good luck
