Default B7 nav in a B6?

Salesman today tells me you can't put the stock 05.5 nav unit in a B6. Is that true?

Default doesn't the B7 have the same center stack as the B6? I'd also check here

Default Wiring is different, but you can buy an adapter for $50.

Works (nearly) perfectly. Casablanca sent you to the right place. Look for PROXXUS - he's a well known seller. I got my unit off ebay.

Probably several hundred have done it. Takes about half hour to do.

Default They were a factory fit option in late model B6s too

The vast majority of units floating around now though would have been produced well into the B7 model cycle (ie &gt;2005.5).

In answering the OP's question though, yes, a B7 RNS-E unit will drop straight into a B6 (assuming both are double din). You will need cable adaptors to convert the wiring/make it plug and play, a GPS antenna and a radio antenna adaptor.
