Hey , some crackhead took it upon himself to rip my navigation out. The screen and the reader in the trunk are now gone . The wires in the dash are in tact with the clips , but the ones in the back are slashed (3 snakes and 1 grey wire 'GPS antenna?' ) . I have purchased a new screen and I m in the process of finding a new reader for the trunk .

1. Can someone tell me if its possible to play DVDs with a stock screen ? If so , what head-unit do I need to get that will enable me to operate the navigation as well as play DVD's on the stock screen .


2. What the hell do I do about the slashed wires in the short of re-wiring the whole damn car ?

3. Is there anything I need to know about this process other than getting the pieces and plugging them back in ? I feel like that might be a LITTLE too simple lol.


Thanks so much for your help.

oh , i have a 2001 TL by the way

 

sorry to hear that man. dont you have insurance? shouldnt they cover that stuff?

 

yeah , i have insurance , but im not trying to have a 9000 dollar claim against my policy for that , ya know?

 

But that's what it's for! I can tell you that if your car came into my shop with that kind of problem, I'd send him to the dealer.

 

yeah lol. I know . but hey , can someone please reply with some HELPFUL information . damn.......

 

Sure. Call your insurance company. Buy the Helm manual. Find a good car stereo store. And buy any DVD head unit.

 

Helpful info here! Call your insurance company, then call the dealer to fix it. I wouldn't try replacing your entire navigation system yourself. You will spend about 2 years worth of insurance payments and still screw it up. Let the pros do it! You pay insurance for a reason, it's not just this payment you make just to drive the car legally. Use it!

I bet there is stuff missing that you don't even know about, a dealer mech will!
