Default What If.

Now listen to this. What if I were to go to germany and get the parts of the larger nav with the screen in the dash and such.

Can anyone tell me how this could work? Just a thought.

Default I think the real question is software.

Sure, the NavPlus hardware might plug right in and work. But unless you have nav data for the U.S. that's compatible with the NavPlus, there's no real reason to go through the trouble. There's no real reason to think that the standard nav and the NavPlus use the same CD-ROMs, though I guess it's possible. But it would seem to me that the NavPlus system uses/displays much more data than regular nav, hence my suspicion that they don't use the same data discs. And since the unit isn't sold or marketed in North America, it would be amazing if NavPlus-compatible data discs were manufactured.

I hope I'm wrong, because it would be a sweet upgrade.

Default Well lets say all that was compatible

where are the nav controls in the nav plus? Could my non us nav car ever handle nav plus anyway?

Default $2,000+ for the unit... I checked and they can't even guarantee whether it would work or not!

and the trouble with importing stuff is that returning it is not an option. If anyone wants to be the $2000 guinea pig, send me an email!!
