Howdy fellow Austin TL'er.

I'd be interested to know if a Navi could be put in after the fact. I kinda doubt it, but who knows. If its possible, I would definitely consider doing that at some point down the road.

You can install an aftermarket Navi. Another alternative is to use a navigation system like Garmin SP2610 or Magellan Roadmate 500/700. They don't have voice control, but are fairly rich in terms of features. One advantage of using something like the Garmin or Magellan is that it is portable.

The DVD-nav system for the TL comes from Alpine. Some Alpine DVD-Nav systems are available as an aftermarket install. If you search google groups, you will see threads related to it.

I did the exact same thing when I purchased my 03 TL, "we live and learn."

This time I waited teh 3 weeks and goth the Navi.

I didn't get Navi in the O3 TL, But I did get the Navi in my new 04 TL. That's what I was trying to say.

Thanks. I was thinking that you were replying to my post rather than the original thread.
