timb2010 Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 (edited) Hi, I've managed to buy a full boxed Nissan OEM SatNav upgrade kit. Apparently its all boxed new and comes with everything needed for a Nissan dealer to Add SatNav as an after sale option. I've read that because of the price of the kit from Nissan £1200-£1400 plus fitting cost it was never a viable option. Well it cost me £125 so I thought I would give it a go.. I've read on the US forums conflicting reports saying you have to rip out the whole dash to get the wires to connect it. But Im HOPING they just mean all the middle section that I have done about 5 times since I had the car. Can anyone please advise me on how big a job this might be? Thanks (waiting holding breath) Edited September 25, 2013 by timb2010 Quote
JetSet Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 The only problem I can think of is that the 313's with factory SatNav's have a different way of mounting the SatNav in the dash, they don't have a cubby hole but I've no idea if the 313 SatNav units are different in any way and while this isn't the first post I've seen about retro fitting a factory SatNav I don't think anyone else has actually attempted it.

timb2010 Posted September 25, 2013 Author Posted September 25, 2013 Thanks Pete, Same here, not found anyone do it! We will see... Quote
choptop Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Send it back as it didn't come with instructions Try calling Nissan as they will have a sheet on how to do it. Your average dealership wouldn't know either. Quote
EvansJD2112 Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 Link to the AV section of the service manual https://www.dropbox.com/s/ulgzkxfxj4pmjyu/AV.pdf Has instructions for removal/install Quote
un1eash Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 The factory nav is a standalone system so it should be pretty much a plug and play job. What sort of wires and connectors are in the kit. Quote
timb2010 Posted September 26, 2013 Author Posted September 26, 2013 Thanks guys. Its on it way to my by UPS as we speak.(unless I've been conned!) Will put some pictures up! Quote
4RE Leather Posted September 26, 2013 Posted September 26, 2013 If your local to Morden I have no objection to you taking a look at my HR as a guidline. Quote
timb2010 Posted September 26, 2013 Author Posted September 26, 2013 If your local to Morden I have no objection to you taking a look at my HR as a guidline. Too kind mate! I'm midlands. Lets first see what's in the box hey! (Fingers crossed not bricks) Quote
timb2010 Posted September 30, 2013 Author Posted September 30, 2013 well its arrived and looks liKellie it should!! now to get my head around the install. good news it comes with an instruction manual. I will scan and upload it as I've not seen one like this. looks like I'm missing: I will have to buy 23 and I'm hoping 24 is already behind my cubby? 25 looks the same. all this and apparently the birdview isn't very good!!!

timb2010 Posted September 30, 2013 Author Posted September 30, 2013 looks straight forward apart from finding these two connectors..... has anyone please seen these when they have had there car apart? heres the other end to them: Quote
