Default 05-07 NAV radio bezel

Did they put the NAV decks in the 05-07 Daks?

I may have of just got my hands on a NAV deck from a Commander and need to know where and if I can find a bezel for it.

Thanks Mark

you need one from an 08 or newer, you will also need some sort of an adapter for the 05-07's but i think the lock pick covers that too

You may want to try removing the bezel and trying to install the radio in the dash. If it will bolt up (most likely it will since a mygig will fit) then all you need to do is trim your current bezel.

Wrong! They are not the same at all. I have a 2005, and have added a Mygig with NAV (RER).
You need to trim out the opening of the bezel, radio mounts fine in the dash.

Here is a (crude) pic of mine:

WOW, I had a lot of reading to do, been off line for a bit.

Thanks Hammond for the pic!

So I guess you need to flaten out the sides of the bezel or the whole thing is bigger?
I believe the radio I am getting is the same (or so it looks close)

Is the radio plug in the back different ?

One more dumb question, I dont have the radio home yet but how do you load a CD??

Thanks Mark

The screen moves out of the way when you hit the open/close button and you insert the CD near the top.
