I'm looking to replace my stock 00 hu that is single indash and has factory navigation. I've researched and did my searching; I'm trying to be as little of a noob as I can. The one I'm loking at buying is on ebay, but it says it will work with TL/CL/RL. I know the CL unit will not work, and i'm not positive about whether or not it came out of a car with navigation. It looks like it may be from a CL, but i'm not sure?

I've included some pictures, hopefully someone can look them over and help me out. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=38640 . The seller isn't being too responsive. I'll also buy one if someone has one at a good price. This board is a lot like bimmerforums, helpful and friendly people. Thanks again for the help.

it would not affect the navigation in anyway, I would say that it will fit, but the key here is is it froma cl or tl?

Doing some more searching, it looks like I answered my own question. Thanks to paul and his knowledge, the radio on ebay has S3m in its serial number. So i'm back at searching for an in dash HU for my tl. Anyone have one for sale at a good price?

I thought the an in dash replacement HU would have to be from a nav equipped car to retain the voice feature, can anyone shed some more light on this? I also realized the TL would have an extra section of plugs because of the external amp, just my own speculation from reading through some posts and looking at pictures.

I have one. I replaced my stock 99 head unit with after market. Mine is also single cd with casette. My car does not have navigation. Is your head unit dead or a re you trying to upgrade to a changer? If the former, pim me, if the latter, why in the hell would you replace it with the stock crapola? You should definitely get aftermarket. The stock system is far inferior to any decent aftermarket. However, if stock is important, PIM me.

im confused.... are u looking for a stock replacement or after market?

Stock replacement. I just want to make sure that the nav voice will work with the indash cd players that didn't come out of a nav car. Thought of going the alpine route, but want to keep everything stock looking and simple. I would only be adding a sub at the most, for now that is. . .
