IMHO, it'll be pretty hard to accomplish this conversion. So far, I haven't heard anoyone doing so successfully. Trade-in non-Navi for Navi could be more possible.

Perhaps, you should consider non-OEM Navi.

Don't even consider it! I checked into it and found out some depressing things= 1) A different radio ($1000) is required. 2) A different clock/time display ($?) will be needed. 3) 3 wiring harnesses (~$400) behind the dash will need to be changed out 4) Don't forget the NAV unit itself (another $1500-2000). 5) And about 20-25 hrs of shop labor @ ~$65 an hour. 6) etc, etc.....

In Short; Spend the extra $2K for the "with NAV" version. It's really a bargain!

It would be faster and cheaper to simply trade your non-nav car in on a new 2005 w/nav.
