can u use the lcd nav in a non nav tl

 

Kind of a lurker here, but I will take a stab at this,
If you are trying to retro fit a non Navi with the Navi Screen and everything that goes with it, yes it can be done, but it seems to be a lot of work. There are a few posts laying out everything you will need. If you just want to install the Navi display, I assume you could do that also, just not sure why you would want to.

On a side note I have an 06 with the Navi, (and I just updated the DVD) and I still end up using my Android turn by turn more than the on board navi.

 

Rear view camera, media player, possible output for carpc, etc. Nothing looks quite as factory as oem.

 

I was wondering if that was possible . What all would it take ? Just the screen and trim ? Also do all the buttons work the same ?

 

Without the gps and I imagine you're going to be missing a lot of the brains of the system. I'd expect quite a bit of custom work. Search for some on the non-navi conversion threads. They'll give you a whole lot better idea than I can.

 

i dont want it for the nav just wanna make it will still control my Climate Control / CD Player and radio???? thanx

 

The nav screen will not control the climate system. It will control the radio, but I find it easier to just use the buttons on the radio.

 

I had not thought of the backup cam, I never added one to my car, but have thought about it.

As I read the posts after I replied I'm not sure you would be able to even fire off the LCD without at the very least the DVD drive as well, I might be wrong on this, but the NAVI system loads every time you start the car. Additionally, I just changed my Battery and it reloaded everything from the DVD on the first startup. (a 10 min process, including sat alinement) I'm not expert by any measure, so I would temper my thoughts with what others on this board have posted.

 

Sorry for the second post, but with some Mods to the load for the navi you can in fact control the climate system, fan speed etc.

This holds true at least for the 04-06 with Navi, as I had installed the mod. (it was wiped out after the re-load following the battery change)

This leads me back to the point about putting in the LCD only, as most of the functionality is loaded from the DVD into the unit.

 

thanx man yeah im just tryin to find out if the climate control system and radio will still work cuz i want the nav lcd in my TL and if it dose work put a dvd player in the car
