I'm debating replacing my Bose Head unit but want to preserve the factory navigation voice commands. Is this possible and does anyone know how to?

There's a write up on it somewhere on this site but it's way beyond my DIY skill level. If you find an easier way or a deck that supports it let me know.

 

Thanks. Surprised no one has toto do a search. I have but can't find it.

If I do figure it out I'll post it up here.

The simple truth is money. The OEM Nav unit works fine for my needs.

 

I've done this with great success. I have hooked up a separate speaker (Alpine SBS-0715) hidden underneath my dash just for the voice guidance from my '03 OEM navigation system.

Here are the threads that I used somewhat to configure my setup:

Good Luck.

 

For a vehicle already equipped with OEM navigation how is it easier to rip out the entire system or what sense does it make to have it and use something else when a simple amplified speaker achieves your desired goal?

 

I had the same issue and decided to just go without the voice.
