Default I want to add NAV to my truck.

I found a stock NAV touch screen on Ebay. If I ordered it and I ordered the new radio bezel, how hard would it be to add it? Just plug and play or...

I have the regular radio now, with the AUX input.

Thanks for your help,
Ryan

i know they also have an antenna. What does your current radio say down in the right or left lower corner? (i.e. RER, REQ, RES)

you can use the stock nav as long as it comes with the ant. or else you will have to buy one

and yes it is plug and play

Well, IfI were to add that deck from the charger i wouldnt need an antenna. It doestn have nav but it has that hard drive and it shows what song is playing. If I could get it for $300...

That would work too right?

i pulled out the stock radio in mine and changed it out for a factory gps with 6 disc changer. I have just over 700 in the switch.....I hate it the wife wanted nav in the truck and instead of just bitting the bullet and spending 1200 on nice aftermarket touch screen with bluetooth i went stock and i so regret it!!!
