Default I think there's instructions on www.navplus.us

It's in one of the threads outlining the steps to upgrade to the RNS-E and installing the other stuff like the GPS.

Default Nah, the thread there shows an install video for the nav, but it doesn't show how to remove the

cluster. It just shows to take it out, not how...

Default Same video as on the navplus site, but it was big enough so I could see what was going on,

Thanks Randy, that was exactly what I needed.

Default Ok, thanks, I think I have it pretty well figured out. I'm going to try and install everything

tonight including the multimedia add on for the nav. I'll let you guys know how it all turns out, but Paul I'm in Thornhill so if I get stuck I may be taking you up on your offer ;-) I'll just feed you some beers as a thanks...

Thanks
