it's so much more than a 'plus and play' installation... might be more worthwhile getting a portable sat nav uni for under 1k

i dont personally think it makes the car more valuable.
if you dont get a proper receipt for the unit, it will look dodgy to prospective buyers.
so youre saying you can get a full genuine honda sat nav unit for around $500?
that sounds extremely suspicious

Eur003act why are you still awake... hehehe
Hey are you sure that its that hard... i mean... if its just an option at the dealers i imagine it to be just some plugs at the back... tho i could be wrong... Is it an option over there.... Cos those were the TSX...so yeah.... plus the LUX says its an option... so yeah... I cant think why it would be as hard as that guys said... Cos he had to do a full conversion and it his post it said the harnesses where not out yet... meaning that he had to wire them manually... dah... wouldnt that explain why it was so hard... Still confused... Will see how it goes anyways....Just thought it would be a better investment?Quote:

ive pulled apart the euro lux... theres only like 5 connectors on the entire centre console, and that includes cigarette lighter! lol i thought it was just a plug and play aswell, all i can think of would be speed sensor and antennae needing to be added? as you say, its an option they do...
and why were you still awake??? :p
The car comes from Japan fitted with the sat nav unit and touchscreen. It is not installed locally by the dealers.Quote:

hmm... well what if i wanted to get a Sat nav system now... if i go tot he dealers... would they send my unit oversea form japan... hmmm still confused?
Is it possible pephaps...
They will tell you that it is not possible. :( Have you considered selling your 06 lux and getting one that has sat nav instead?Quote:

It's not the GPS that is run by that touch screen, it's also the Aircon, Radio, CD player all tied into the one unit. Hence you either buy the car with it or just buy a portable GPS. To be quite honest with you, whilst it does look great, the amount that some honda dealers are charging for some of the updated dvd's, up to a 1000bucks in some cases, you are better off getting a portable GPS.
