Installing oem GPS..???
Hi everyone,
I have this interesting question to make...I have a track pack edition and want to install the oem GPS. How would that be possible?do you know if the wire harness of the gps is bolt on without cutting wires and so on?? I have everything in my hands including the gps and the panel but i don't know what to do with the wires.
Any ideas??
Thanks

yes that's a start, but i hope i will avoid cutting the wires..possibly it is bolt on..but i can only see this by taking off the panel. Cause from a little research that i did, i found no info...

I've done this before from one Z with nav into a Z without nav. 6hrs of wiring Hell - I would not do it again.
It all came out well but you will need to cut into the main harness - it uses the car's speedo and such to determine motion = for some reason it doesn't purely go off of satellites and it's wired into lots of components of the car. If your car didn't come with it stock you're better off selling the gps to someone with a broken stock one and buying an aftermarket unit.
This should scare you off:

The model that you have wouldn't make a difference. If the car is equipped with Navigation from the factory then it would have a different wiring harness than that of a car that was not fitted with Navigation from the factory. This isn't a dealer installed option in any way.
So to repeat even if the model that you have had the option of OEM navigation and you opted out of it when placing your vehicle order you will not find plug-ins for the factory navigation lying dormant behind your center console.

I'm pretty sure that they have different wiring harnesses for navigation equipped vehicles and non-navigation equipped vehicles. For example, when we were ordering a new '07 gauge cluster for Adam's car we found out that the number of different clusters that Nissan makes for an '07 were much greater than the number of different trim levels available.

Service manual for sure! I would have never done this without one. I didn't do this install for my car it was for my dad's car - he had two and was selling the touring model (with the nav) and keeping the performance model (in the pic).
I was able to trace the wires from the touring to see where they were going and I made a real large wiring diagram before I ever did the install (not sure what I did with that). Like I said is hooks into so many different electrical parts of the car I was constantly flipping back and forth from page to page of the service manual - I ended up just making my own diagram for the thing. I just got a nav antenna with my car pc in my Z. Heck use a cell phone!HA.
