Can 04 Navi gui be upgraded to 08 gui?
I have an 04 TL with the original NAVI interface. I just had a loaner TL and thought that the NAVI interface was a lot better looking. Does anyone know what is required to get the 08 style interface in the 04 TL? Will the DVD software upgrade the interface as well as updating the maps? Is there a newer trunk mounted computer that's required? Thanks.

You going to need a whole new navi computer, dvd player.... 04 uses 3.XX where as 08 model uses 4.XX Its got a pretty much new system in it.

you will need the following:
New DVD drive
New XM unit
New XM antenna
You will need to rewire the the car or run new wires for the updated items such as the XM nav traffic and the updated screen.
Overall this would cost about 2+K with labor.

the components will show errors and not function properly. to the poster above, did you put in an 07+ dvd drive into an 04-06 tl? If so, does your radio work from the nav?

So what would it cost someone who wants their 04' TL to have the 08 radio etc?
If you had your dealership do it? Replace it all?
From what I can tell the 07/08 now allows scrolling text? Color changes? What else?
