2013 With Bose - How Hard to Upgrade to Nav?
I'm looking at 2013 Touring models (which come with Bose systems). I'm having a hard time finding any with the optional navigation system. My question is, how hard is it to add navigation to a Bose equiped 2013 model? From photos, the factory HU is a unique shape and doesn't look to be easily replaceable. What are my options?
Thanks in advance.

You can add any double din HU with built in navi. As far as adding factory navi to one w/out navi, it's not worth the cost and trouble. Of course, with money, it can be done; but then again you'd be better off just buying the top of the line aftermarket double din HU.
All you really need is a PAC-ROEM NIS adapter to utilize the Bose Amps to work with the headunit. Pretty simple.

The logical answer is to get rid of everything BOSE in your car and get a nice aftermarket HU with NAV that is easy to update and in the end is going to cost you a lot less in time, money and frustration.
You can also just keep looking until you find a car with everything you want on it and buy that one. If you're seriously buying new, then a dealer can have the car custom ordered for you direct from the factory to your desired spec and 6 weeks later, you'll be handed the keys (a friend of mine did it this way to get the EXACT car he wanted).
