Hey all we added a section on how to convert a 1996 to 1999 hard disk based navigation system (that's the years with the pcmcia hard drive) to the later year DVD based system. Those of you that know the disk based TL is easy to convert but the RL is wired differently requiring some labor. We've include the wiring changes and parts needed.

This is great if the disk based navi has failed or you are tired of having old map data that covers just one region.

Regards

Wow, very useful! Thanks for this

 

So what should I do about the wiring if I want to convert it to a DVD unit from a hard drive unit? I have a 98 RL w/navi.
